And Allen's 126.5 passer rating was better than any single game Burrow posted that season. 

No, Allen won 1 out of 4 with the same team that Burrow won 2 of 10. Also, Ryan Finley won 1 out of 1 games with the same team that Burrow won 2 of 10. Does that make Finley the better backup QB?

Also, Allen followed up that great game with a 0.0 passer rating. As Gregg Easterbrook is fond of saying, if every pass a QB throws clangs to the ground incomplete, said QB's rating would be 39. To get a 0.0 is absolutely HORRIBLE. Joe's lowest rating in his rookie season was 66.1 which just happened to be his first ever regular season game in the NFL. 

And since we're going to point to 1 singular game as proof of how good a backup QB is, Glennon is the better backup because in 2013 he posted back-to-back 137+ rating games (137.5 vs the Falcons, 138.4 vs the Lions) and no, these weren't mop-up or garbage time stats

Okay, this was a great post. Rep.
