Jets coach Robert Saleh was asked today about benching a quarterback to possibly give a team a spark and responded:
“It’s got to be crystal clear that it’s him. When you’ve got everybody with their hand in the cookie jar, it’s really hard to justify blaming one human. Yeah, you could say, well, blame it on somebody, and let’s just do something, but is it what’s necessary at that time to derail whatever it could be and just create all kinds of other problems in the future? So, there is a global aspect of it. Now, if it was as clear as one person, yeah, you make a change, whether it’s any position, but when everyone has their hand in the cookie jar and it’s coaches included, it’s hard to justify in my mind making a move just to make a move.”
Based on this theory, it could be very hard to justify making a QB change.
Because other people on offense, whether it’s non-QBs or coaches, are always going to make mistakes along the way as well.
Nobody’s perfect.
