Not for an injury but performance...pretty...unique way to handle a rookie QB...after 3 starts...
Agreed. That seemed stupid to me. I still don't understand it.
I'm trying to think of the value of benching a top 10 pick in his 4th start...
Flores came out and said he supports Tua. The benching is especially bizarre since Fitzception came in and did not perform well. Onward and Upward I guess.
This was the risk they took when they switched from Fitz who was playing really well. I don't think you should make the switch unless you are willing to ride out the rookie when he is not playing well. If you are Tua it would be hard not to be looking over your shoulder now every time things are not going your way.
flopping QBs is a horrible coaching move, which is why I am typically against starting a rookie QB. There is just so much more to learn for a QB its pretty unrealistic to think that every kid can make that jump just because a couple have been able to.

Its ok to start a rookie QB, but you have to be all-in with him. No benching. Justin Herbert is knocking it out of the fucking park. There's no hard and fast rule about rookie QBs, but once you decide to start them, whether its 2 games in or 10, that you aren't looking back for a few years and you are riding with the kid for better or worse.

I would agree, except in the instance where he's not getting protection and is starting to develop bad habits. Don't know if that's the case though.

But that comes with the decision to start him as a rookie in the first place. The coaching staff is integral in that decision WHEN. The unconditional support is the key once you make that call.

I still think they would benefit from a year of mentoring and learning from the bench, but yes, my point is more to not going back once you've made the move.
