The Real Reason For Benching Bryce Young

[Basbear]

Rule 6 Section 9 Articles 4-2 - When a team intentionally loses a game or does not score as high as it can, to obtain a perceived future competitive advantage, the team is often said to have "tanked" the game. The act of playing or officiating a contest with the intention of losing, violating the rules of the NFL game. or in simpler terms tanking is illegal...

then the NFL violated that rule when it allowed Tepper to buy the team.  They started the tank.

If that rule was enforceable, the NFL would never have allowed Matt Rhule a 3rd season.

He had 2 5 win seasons. The #1 pick couldn't win more than 2 games last year and throw more than 12 yards yesterday.

It's possible but I think it's obvious the rest of the team wasn't happy with the BS of it all.

 Now remove the Young pic on right of threads....that has to get benched now too. PLEASE!

[Joe Bear]

the curse of the right-side picture needs to end. Just don't put one there.

[Doyle]

This benching at least gives me hope for a win in our future.  God I never thought I would miss the 7-9 days.

Put Tepper over there

[CPantherKing]

Young got benched because Tepper, Canales, Morgan & Dalton agreed he is not on pace to be an NFL starter.

Keeping Young healthy is important to trade him for anything helpful. The likely target should be Cooper Rush. Cowboys want a backup with Rush & Lance hitting free agency after this season. Dalton knows Rush & his development. Canales has a gift for developing 30 year old QBs. I'm sure Rush was on the short list of QBs they studied following his 2022 success.

I could see Dalton starting while Rush catches up for 6 to 8 weeks. Rush would be a good place holder with promising upside. 2 to 3 seasons of Rush-Dalton before Dalton retires.
