Maybe that's not his fault, but the coaches should have benched him at some point.

Well, he came Day 1 as he wasn't signed until August 31, 2016 of the regular season; no training camp, nada...

Second, he was still recovering from a neck injury...

And third, just when he really was getting into his groove, he was injured in Week 4 and not at playing strength until Week 8...

It's moot now, but there were many challenges with bringing him in so late...
