Despite that, going into the 4th, the game was still in reach. Shouldn't DD be desperate enough to win, that he's willing to sit his $3M QB? It literally could not have got worse, and not surprisingly, it didn't get much better leaving Bo in. He was obviously not handling the cold.
Throw Arbuckle in, maybe you win, and you can hand the reins right back to Bo next game.
I mean, I get it... But I also don't.
What I do know is that I got the honour of freezing my butt off, watching what had to be Bo's worst game as a pro.

Fair point, although Arbuckle hasn’t taken a meaningful snap in probably two months... kind of hard to put him in that kind of situation. I think if Bo struggles again next year, you’ll see Dickenson make the switch a lot sooner..
Your last sentence is bang on though.
P.S. Arbuckle is a free agent next year? I can see him landing somewhere else — he won’t get much opportunity here so long as Bo is healthy
