Should BB sit Zappe? (2-0) Mack Jones was struggling and turning the ball over.
How about Rush? Dallas is 4-1. Rush has the four wins. Dak the loss. (before the Philly game)
Nobody sits a 40 milly QB. You just can’t. Its why high draft picks get position over lower picks. They get more opportunities because the GM and Coaches want to be right and justifying the pick. GM makes his grave by signings and picks and coaches often have a say. When they invest big in them it’s like an obligation to play them. I personally wouldn’t bench Dak, but I wouldn’t have paid him either. Till GM’s start using their own money on players instead of an unlimited CC you likely aren’t going to see a 40 million $ QB benched for a $250k QB. A coach makes that move the GM likely fires him lol. Because it works out the GM is out a job.
This is why new coaches usually clean house for their guys.
Is Dallas better with Rush? Maybe. Depending on how you view things I guess. Is Dallas play different behind Rush yes. Would they call the same plays as with Dak obviously not so far. If you’re the Chiefs do you worry about Dak putting up 30 or Rush 30? Offense and teams on both sides call different game plans and scheme vs different style QBs.
Dak is a good QB. Smart guy good passer bit mobile. Midget Murray, Russ, Lamar, will never be worth the $ as long term passing pocket Style is the only thing that beats the speed of a defensive long term. Vick Cunningham Culpepper crushed a few years with remarkable regular season records and stats. We have seen that style of QB for years. It doesn’t work.
Old ass dudes like Rodgers and Brady just scorched the league last year. No 45 year old should be dropping 5k yards 45 td vs the elite players of today’s game. But the speed of a football and ability to read a defense will always be faster than a players speed. Lamar can run a 4.2 40 but a football can run a 1.2 40.
