Meh, every team has this section of a fanbase that just sees 0's on a guys statline and starts thinking hey...those 0's could totally be super high numbers! One month into the NFL season fans of 75% of NFL teams start making arguments that the starting QB should be benched so they can "see what they have" in some backup who has never been a starter, or some 23 year old kid who knows about 3 plays.
People have seen to many damn movies and keep thinking every player MIGHT be the next ______!!!! Just keep plugging them in! I mean, the Browns start 4 QBs per year, so how they haven't stumbled over the next Tom Brady I'll never know!
The whole "Let's bench this average or even above average player because the 7th round pick behind him might magically be elite" mindset is probably shared by people who think "winning the lottery or becoming famous" are valid career paths to take.
