Tell me when somebody spins your version of getting benched as a positive. You talk like it's a Playstation game and you get attribute increases for playing somebody. Kind of like Deion and Chip. It's out of the box thinking, sure. But you can do it once. If your young kids don't win, you get fired. You don't get to use the card twice.
And you think Ryans isn't concerned when Scruggs gets benched for Dawkins at week 7? If not, why do any of these kids play past year 2? Just go to pro days.
Oh. Because it's a gamble. The percent who get drafted is low enough.
Again, what message does it send when you bench a guy? Clifford's last game on your staff, he throws 4 picks. Highly doubt GB takes him where they did coming off that benching just because you say "Allar needs reps for next year."
