Only when you're already solid prior to your starter going down.
This isn't a case of good players playing better in light of their QB going down. This is a case where players were playing like ass, and now they're suddenly middle to above-average. I can't remenber the last time i've been able to say our QB hasn't taken a sack in a game.
