I too have spent a fare amount of time researching something in the hopes that it gives me an idea of a trend or basis for something else and then realized there's basically no trend.
It feels bad, for sure.
With that said, I think one thing you can divine from this list is that it doesn't really matter who the back up is, because virtually all of those teams would have been sunk if the ball were handed to the back up anyway haha. A handful of them could have seen their back up as a mentor, like Dante Culpepper or Kurt Warner, but the majority would not.
Feel bad for Tyrod Taylor though.
He's been drafted behind and replaced by first round QBs his entire career haha (drafted behind Flacco, replaced by Allen in Buffalo, replaced by Mayfield in Cleveland and replaced by Herbert in LAC).
This list tells me that we would be fine either way. The back up doesn't seem to correlate with the rookie's success, at least not at face value.
