If Trubisky had sat longer then he would be better. You tell me how evidence can ever support that argument?

See his college career.

The problem is, we don't have a control in this experiment. He may very well have been even better if he'd played earlier. He was pretty good in his brief relief appearances before the year he was the starter.

The really frustrating thing about the sitting Trubisky argument is it based on a counterfactual. There's no evidence to suggest that sitting a QB is beneficial over starting them. See here.

"Counterfactual" would mean the evidence indicates the opposite.

Would it.

counterfactual (ˌkauntəˈfæktʃʊəl) logic
adj
(Logic) expressing what has not happened but could, would, or might under differing conditions
n
(Logic) a conditional statement in which the first clause is a past tense subjunctive statement expressing something contrary to fact, as in: if she had hurried she would have caught the bus.

I mean Christ, double click, right click, search and it is right there.
