Backup QBs shouldn't be relegated to doing nothing but handing the ball off. Receivers shouldn't be limited to doing nothing but blocking. As a coach, I am more insulted by the other team taking pity on my team. Let them play the game and run a somewhat normal offense. Different story if they are throwing it all the time or if it was still the first team in the game but that was not the case. If a baseball team is up by 10 runs should the backups that are batting go up to the plate and not swing the bat or try to get a hit? Should they just stand there, take three strikes and walk back to the bench so that they do not run up the score? These kids who do not get much playing time work their asses off in practice and shouldn't be relegated to merely handing the ball off.
