It can't be much worse then the constant 3 and outs and all the turnovers.

If McCown were healthy, benching Jake might be a plausible alternative. With Moore and Feely, you are acting out of emotion more so than rational thought. Consider the following:

1. Philly - Jake sucked.

2. Atlanta - 4th down with pressure. Not a lot of options. Desperation. I would rather have someone throw the ball than take a sack.

3. Dallas interception 1. Lobbed it up there. Bad throw.

4. Dallas interception 2. Smith cut the route off.

Logically, since the Philly game, Jake the individual has not been any worse than the rest of the team. Benching him, with no viable alternatives is not the answer. It might give some fans and media an emotional jolt but it does nothing to increase the teams chances of winning. Later in the season, when/if there is no chance of this team making the playoffs, it would make sense to make the move. Until then, the best course of action is to suck it up.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
