It's no different than exercising - there's always an excuse not to do it if you're looking for one and Andy Reid is clearly looking for one. What you say is a reason not to bench Alex I would have called a perfect cause for doing precisely that.

I can see that, too.
Personally, I'm all for starting Mahomes now, even with a one game lead.
