If he's really worried about his carries when the team is winning games, then maybe the benching as an educational tool (which I don't actually think is happening) might not be the wrong move. I've always been lead to believe that that was part of the reason DJ had to sit, to motivate him to learn to play within the scheme and stop going into business for himself and that's exactly the same message they've worked so hard to get across to Bowe over the last year, with the "stats only matter if you're winning" conversation.
And I've never actually heard Charles say anything that makes me think he's not a team player above all else.
