I don't think any team has ever sat their franchise QB the final 5 games of the season. I don't think the NFL would actually allow them to do it as it'd mess with ratings, which messes with a whole lot of billionaire's money. Nor would the NFLPA allow a team to do it because it would be a team actively conspiring to limit future earning potential of players. When contracts are negotitated they are done based off stats and accolades. You won't get any accolades by sitting nearly 1/3rd of the season.
"Sit your healthy stars for 5 games" is just not based in a reality that could actually ever happen.
