I think putting it this way would help explain my stance. If Purdy devolves to just being a game manager and isn't elevating our offense like he was, then I think it's fair to move back to Lance. I just think Purdy has earned that opportunity.
But it would depend a lot on why he's playing that way. This is almost a debate with no end and just different stances on it.
I think it is bad team management and coaching to bench a guy if he is playing well in favor of a guy who may not have an off season, no live reps or 1st team reps who is coming off a major injury to his throwing elbow. If Trey is playing mediocre to poorly than by all means, get Brock back out there.
I'd argue he is only playing cause the player who played at an elite level wasn't available.
i don't view this as a competition for QB1. It's not up for grabs. It's Brock's and anything else is filling in for him until he's back. I think the team is done giving it to him. Her QB2 here. Only way he is even considered for long term QB1 is if Purdy devolved and plays poorly or average
if I hire you to do a role and I'm training you to do the role, then another person comes in and crushed the role, im no longer considering you for the position. It's simple business. Life isn't a charity.
I would respect that point of view a lot more if we were talking about Mahomes, Brady or Rodgers. But we aren't. We are talking about a guy who had a really good 7 game stretch as a rookie.
Benching a guy, in season, who is playing well and winning games is very bad for team morale and sends the wrong message to the rest of the players in the locker room.
