Do some QBs just have bad mo-jo? Even if something is not Mitch’s fault - does his “prescence” make others play poorly around him. Like bobble catches and drop balls.
I remember a game where Ben was practically benched for Byron Leftwich for a half as Ben was playing like crap. Could he “bench” MT for a half and just try something different? ( I guess Tomlin had more freedom to bench Ben as everyone knew there was no QB controversy)
