Insane amount of QB turnover this season in the NFL

[EasternOHBillsFan]

I truly can't remember a season like this one where so many QBs have been benched or replaced due to injuries... the full list for Week 17 is crazy:

 

Dolphins - Bridgewater

Jets - White

Ravens - Huntley

Steelers - Pickett

Browns - Watson

Titans - Willis

Colts - Foles

Texans - Driskell

Raiders - Stidham

Commanders - Wentz

Eagles - Minshew

Cardinals - McSorley

Panthers - Darnold

Rams - Mayfield

Falcons - Ridder

 

That's almost half the league...

Interesting.  You should post this over on the main board.

You could throw Arizona and Kyler in there, as well, due to injury.

Plus the Patriots had that little mini coup with Bailey Zappe for a hot minute 

Also Cowboys with Dak out a number of weeks early in the season

If I had to guess only three or four of those guys will be the same teams week 1 starter in 2023: Pickett, Watson and maybe Willis or Darnold.

Teams are very slowly starting to realize there is no need to hitch your wagon to a starting QB if he isn't getting the job done.  Without a QB who can get it done, you have nothing.

 

People are realizing more and more that if a guy can't get it done now, he probably won't get it done later.

 

It's a good trend for the fans IMO.

Since it wasn't Bills specific I didn't... thought I was doing the right thing. If you could move it that would be swell!

I did forget McSorley!!!! Zappe could very well start if Belichick was more practical.

The days of plentiful quality QB’s regularly in most lineups is long gone.

 

Lucky to have half the teams able to put someone decent under center.

This happens every season actually.

You have to get a mod to do that. Users can not move other users threads.  It would be total chaos if that was allowed.

 Cardinals are starting another QB on Sunday which will tie an NFL (non-strike year) record:
