True, interesting to think that our backup QB doesn't matter because thus far Burrow either is healthy, plays hurt, or he is hurt to the point where he is out for the season and the season is over.  There hasn't yet been a situation where a QB other than Burrow takes a meaningful snap.

We haven't yet seen a situation where Burrow is out for a few quarters or a few games and a capable backup has to keep the ship afloat for a bit.  It's either Burrow playing at 25% or better capacity or a 0% Burrow and a GAME OVER season.  I'm sure I said this during the calf injury months, but I can't see a situation where ZT and Burrow both agree to keep Burrow off the field unless he's unable to walk or hold a football.
