Do you realize what a joke that is? OK, name all the perfectly healthy rock star QB's who have been benched in their prime. It should be easy since it is as easy as outperforming them in practice. Must happen all the time. And no Wilson doesn't count since his competition was unproven.
The idea coaches don't have their thumb on the scale to tip it toward starters, high profile players and highly paid players is well laughable.
PS - Schaub wasn't a pro-bowl QB at the time.
