It does happen.

Does it happen a lot or not really?

It’s not a regular occurrence. It happens more with the crap teams . There are far more knowledgeable posters on here than me though .

Most coaches avoid it if at all possible. In Jackson's case, I can understand the knee jerk reaction of the fans wanting to see him benched. The thing is though not a lot of good can come out of it beyond in the immediate moment.

Most coaches (especially a playoff team) will ride it out with the horse that got them there. I mean maybe Flacco comes in and is effective, maybe not. What is his likelihood of pulling out a win?

Let's say he does pull out the win, now you have yourself a full blown QB controversy entering the next round (and perhaps the offseason). It's a Pandora's Box for the coach and the team.

The QB position is unique like that.

Coaches are afraid to replace QBs. Maybe Flacco would have helped, but in all likelyhood he would have gotten eaten alive by the Chargers DL. Plus while I always thought Flacco was a good QB who didnt get the credit he deserved he's all but washed up now. Still he'll get 20M next year b/c he's a QB. His arm strength since the injury is gone. Maybe there is a Carson Palmer like resurgence in him for 1-2 years on a team w/ a bunch of good skill players but I doubt it.
