The year Brady got suspended, they had Jimmy G and Brissett go 3-1 to hand off a strong record for them to win the SB that year.
That's 3 of the last 7 SB winners, right there that had to rely on their backup QB at some point for meaningful snaps.
Now if you ask me if Burrow goes down for the season, is the season over regardless of who is back there? Absolutely. That said, I think completely dismissing the backup QB as a possible key contributor at some point isn't wise. Maybe a key drive, maybe a couple games. Having someone who you are confident in to lead the team to victory can be crucial.
Yes, I agree with the point you’re making. I just didn’t agree with your recollection of the Chiefs game, is all. Back-ups do matter, absolutely.
