I don't think it really boils down to Billings' physical ability, but rather his ability to pick up the playbook.
I really can't remember a rookie or 2nd year player that didn't get into the game once the coaching staff felt comfortable with him. A lot of people will bag on the Bengals for sitting guys, but who is the last one that has really deserved to play, but didn't?
Like others have said, this isn't a 2-14 team where you just play rookies, it's a team that makes the playoffs every year now and can't afford to lose games because of rookie mistakes.
