Over a third of playoff teams had starting QBs who missed games with injury.  If you want to prove that the back up QB is meaningless then you would have to show how many of those teams would have made the playoffs it they lost all the games with their #2 QB starting.
 
The percentage of total games misssed by starting QBs is meaningless to the discussion because the proof is that a large portion of playoff teams have starting QBs that miss games with injury.

No fred, i get it totally.
all 14 playoff teams qb's avg missing less than 1 game for the season.


You can have a good back up, but if your main qb is out for an extended amount of time, they will likely LOSE more than they WIN taking you out of contention anyways. That is what you are refusing to understand and you keep omitting from the conversation.

As i said, back up are back ups for a reason, if they were good enough to consistently win, they'd be a starter with another team.

Foles is a perfect example of a backup that was promoted to starter status and he didn't survive the year as a starter, was demoted to backup before the season ended. The Rams traded for him and then benched him for Case Keenum... once the 2015 season ended. Foles was released and ended up as a backup for KC.
