If you have a guy who is a superior player but just needs playing time to develop it would be stupid to stick with the inferior player all year.
NFL coaches understand this. That is often why they let rookie QBs start over experienced vets.
Sure, they can take some reps in practice with the ones. And they get to go in to spell the starters occasionally as well. It's up to the coaches to determine when they are ready and playing better than the vet.
