Tier 1
Maybe I’m just way off base here, but to me, the humiliation of throwing an interception or fumbling and hurting my team’s chance of winning in front of 95,000 fans is a much greater teaching moment and consequence than getting benched for a series or two.I think benching the qb for a series after a pick let’s them know there will be a consequence for the bad action. Also allows the qb and coach to look at the defense from a different perspective and learn something. Handing the qb the starting job and not letting the back up play more can make them complacent.
I don’t think you bench somebody to show them there are consequences...losing because of something you did is a far much worse consequence than sitting out a series.
I can see possibly sitting somebody so you can settle them down and allow them to get their emotions back in check. Robinson has shown no outward signs, though, that the moment has been too big for him.
