Just seeing Joe Burrow’s out for the year now and it’s been brutal. How many backup QBs have started games? Is it a NFL modern record?

Aaron Rodgers out for year Kirk Cousins out for year Daniel Jones out for year Deshaun Watson out for year Joe Burrow out for year

Not to mention Justin Fields, Matt Stafford, Kyler Murray, etc. who have been banged up

Watson being out for the year makes up for at least 3 of the others, so it's pretty average. Losing Aaron Rodgers is worthwhile if it means no deshaun

The NFL always has multiple injuries; you’re just noticing them this year because it’s mostly stars

You forgot Anthony Richardson

Lamars on borrowed time as well

No, Rodgers was knocked out; even if it was after leaving the Packers.

Tannehill too

Man we had 10 rookie QBs start a game this year... Most people could not even name 10 rookie QBs drafted

Last year had the record for most starting QBs. It’s possible this year will beat it but quite a lot would need to happen still. Burrow going down is one additional. Is wentz starting or no? That would be another one.

Last year was 64 unique starting QBs. I think this year we’re at about 50.

This might be the worst year for qbs in general. So much dog shit out on that field this year.

[–] hellomynameisdoug@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Number of QBs to start at least 1 game has been going up...
2020: 58
2021: 63
2022: 69
2023: 49 (so far)

A record 9 rookie qb’s have started games this season so there’s that.

Looks like there need to be more Jiu Jitsu classes this season...but no really im grateful that so far the Dolphins have been able to protect Tua and he's been able to protect himself this year and hope it continues especially after all the head jokes and criticism this reddit and others on social media and tv threw at us. I understand what it feels like for your teams QB to be taken out and how hopeless the rest of the season feels and empathize.
