Then again, they may not wanna do that. If they sit Russ and Rypien comes in and the offense looks better, they’re gonna be under a lot of pressure from the fanbase to play Rypien.
Not only that, but they will have to try and justify to the fanbase why they traded such a haul and signed a guy to a $240 million dollar extension that’s not any better than the backup they have sitting on the bench.
Talk about a mess that would become.

Like I said earlier today, unless he's REALLY hurt, I bet they keep trotting him out there. The potential bad outcomes are just too many and they don't want to have to admit they made a mistake.
