You're hoping to achieve not having to pay his guaranteed money. He can't get hurt if he's benched. It's the same reason the playcalling has been so conservative it'd make Dick Cheney blush.

Unfortunately, KC seems to be the dumping ground for unwanted SF quarterbacks.

You know you terribad when Leinart calls you out.
Matt Leinart is pretty psyched about former coach Ken Whisenhunt's firing | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo Sports

Isn't his contract also one of the most incentive laden of the qb's? So maybe they don't want him hitting benchmarks for pay also.

I'm not sure about 2015, but I know he has escalators in 2016 if he takes 80% of the snaps, playoffs, etc. So, I wouldn't be surprised if that's part of the reasoning for the benching as well.

That's a pretty stupid thing to say.
They officially made McFadden the starter already. You know, the guy who's rushed for more yards than Murray while making $37million less?

He turned vegetarian...
Honestly the last couple of games McFadden has looked pretty good. At least much better than he showed in all the previous games.

Watching the titans press conference in a restaurant, and I thought the dude in front was the new coach. That beard didn't look as neatly trimmed on TV. Couldn't see the guy's mouth even when he talked, the goatee just got a little longer and wiggled. I figured that might have been strategic facial hair to keep belicheck from reading his lips.

That's a decent argument, but it's not the first time the government has decided something was too offensive to grant copyright protection. There was an asian band called the slants who couldn't get the rights to the name so they could go big time. IIRC, washington redskins was one of the examples they cited for why their name should have been approved.
I am firmly on the side of the slants and redskins here. If the redskins want a less offensive name, they need to become the maryland redskins.

I think that door has already been taken off the hinges for awhile at this point.
The Browns and Broncos failed to complete a deadline deal Tuesday that would have sent 8-time Pro Bowl player LT Joe Thomas and a 4th-round pick in 2016 to Denver for a 1st-round and 2nd-round pick in 2016, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini and Adam Schefter.

This sounds like they may try to keep Peyton around... you don't fucking trade away a 1st and 2nd for a veteran O-Lineman unless you think you have a QB worth it.
