Belichick benches terrible third year QB for not being able to move the offense all day
Saleh lets terrible third year QB start his 31st career game with no competition because bringing in a competent veteran might hurt his feelings
They are not the same
And he's done this before. The only difference between Mac Jones and Zach Wilson is that Mac had a solid rookie year, while Zach has never really been solid. Zach also seems like less of a douche.
I'm not saying Zach should be benched. But it should be an option when the offense is struggling to try to get a spark. And if that fucks up Zach's confidence, then he's not good enough anyway. Plus - the way Zach has played, why should we care about his feelings?
