Some fans ignore the backup, then the starter gets hurt and they are like man our year is over. Those same fans want a 2 million or less backup QB as they place no value on the position.

As for us, I hope it works out for Burrow and the Bengals and AD lands in a great place also to finish out his next 6 to 8 years or so. If I am AD, I would demand a trade if team is drafting Burrow, but tell MB now so he knows it and can prepare. If MB denies the trade, I would tell him see him week #1 at practice. Some call it selfish, I call it be open and honest.

What exactly is "a true backup QB" ?

Yes it would be nice to have Brady starting and P. Manning as backup. Or Aaron Rodgers starting and Drew Brees as backup. But back to reality, backups are backups for a reason. The Wentz/Foles thing is by far an anomaly.

The Steelers had some luck with backups thru the middle of this past season mostly because they had a good D that forced many turnovers. But they faded in the end didn't they ?

We need Oline, WR's, LBers and so on way more than we need a super star backup QB.
