It is not just the NFL corporate office. Fans prefer to see their starting QBs playing also.
NFL football is an extremely violent, dangerous sport. QBs and receivers are pretty much the only players on the field that are asked to put themselves in position to take brutal shots without defending themselves. They deserve some protection.
when I watch football I enjoy seeing the best players making the best plays. I don't watch it just to see guys get injured. And I certainly don't want to see a bunch of lesser skilled back-ups playing instead of the starters
