From the standpoint of a head coach, at least some consideration needs to be made for building the self-confidence of your quarterback, and jerking them in and out of games could ruin that and make things worse, so I understand the reluctance.
Those calls were based on performance over more than one game. This is due to an injury. There's no doubt that the coaches knew he injured his thumb, and it was clear that Costello couldn't push the ball downfield. That he's out this week also shows the error in that judgment.
