It's case by case, but a bad CB is less likely to kill a season than a historically bad tackle. The corner might get burned occasionally, but he's not going to hurt you on almost every play or series. You can scheme to help a struggling corner with a safety over the top. A tackle as bad as Ooga Balooga is going to short out 3-4 offensive drives per game with drive killing sacks and pressures that lead to incompletions or INTs. Not to mention run blocking.
Honestly though, I think this discussion would be moot if our coaches were more willing to insert young players AND pull them if they suck. It's as if they commit hard to them once they're in the lineup and don't want to risk hurting their feelings.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
