in no order...but all of these guys are substantially better than him
Gardner Miinshew
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Mitchal Trubisky
Jacoby Brisset
Nick Mullens
Minshew has been a starter for more of his career than he has been a backup. He started 14 games in his rookie year because the starter went down. So if the guy has started more than not, is he a back up?
Fitzpatric is a starter in this league... period.
So the bears used a 1st rd pick so they could develop a back up?
Brisset was traded for to be a starter, not a back up.
Mullens is only legit back up on the list IMO. At his current age, if he doesnt start, I would call him the best "Back up," in the league..... but he is NOT a back up.
