You could say the same about Jake Delhomme and Kurt Warner--however, I always say don't apply exceptions to the rule to your situation.  I am not saying that is what you are doing, but There are more Tim Couches and DeMarcus Russells than there are Jim Plunketts.  Chris Chandler (Falcons) comes to mind to support your post, and some might add Randall Cunningham.

If young turns it around its not going to be here, thats just how these things work.  When he is inevitably benched thats a wrap for him with this franchise.  Hes lost the fanbase and more importantly the team.  You dont get back in the starting lineup when that happens and Dave, dan and most certainly tepper know this.  Thats why they are going to stretch this thing for as long as possible IMO.

 

Bears falcons and Skins look like bad teams so they probably would like this to play out in 4 weeks.  If he goes 0fer against them then its over

maybe I should have been clearer, is there an example of a player being benched and them coming back to the same team and it worked out?

Believe it or not...I can.

Terry Bradshaw was benched at the start of the 1974 season for Joe Gilliam. He got his job back midway thru the season. He led the Steelers to a their first SB win that year. Pittsburgh won 3 more over the next 5 years.

Once again, in terms of talent, there is no comparison. Bradshaw was 6'3/215lbs, could throw the ball a mile, and in his prime I've heard he could run a 4.5 forty...no kidding.

So the only example was 50 years ago?  poo man this experiment is going to die an ugly death.  And like you say Bradshaw was a beast

      The 2025 QB free agents, who would you sign?

      By CamWhoaaCam · Posted

      Fields is by far the most talented of the available QBs in FA.   Just not sure he will be a available because the Steelers are winning games. The more games they win the less likely he will be available. Fields gets them to the playoffs he's getting a nice contract from the Steelers imo.
