The Real Reason For Benching Bryce Young

Rule 6 Section 9 Articles 4-2 - When a team intentionally loses a game or does not score as high as it can, to obtain a perceived future competitive advantage, the team is often said to have "tanked" the game. The act of playing or officiating a contest with the intention of losing, violating the rules of the NFL game. or in simpler terms tanking is illegal...

If that rule was enforceable, the NFL would never have allowed Matt Rhule a 3rd season.

He had 2 5 win seasons. The #1 pick couldn't win more than 2 games last year and throw more than 12 yards yesterday.

It's possible but I think it's obvious the rest of the team wasn't happy with the BS of it all.

Young got benched because Tepper, Canales, Morgan & Dalton agreed he is not on pace to be an NFL starter.

Keeping Young healthy is important to trade him for anything helpful. The likely target should be Cooper Rush. Cowboys want a backup with Rush & Lance hitting free agency after this season. Dalton knows Rush & his development. Canales has a gift for developing 30 year old QBs. I'm sure Rush was on the short list of QBs they studied following his 2022 success.

I could see Dalton starting while Rush catches up for 6 to 8 weeks. Rush would be a good place holder with promising upside. 2 to 3 seasons of Rush-Dalton before Dalton retires.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
