For 31 out of 32 NFL teams, yes. That would be the case.
However, Marvin Lewis' Bengals always struggle (not necessarily lose) when facing a backup. Now granted, since it's still July and TC hasn't even started yet, this won't be a true backup scenario. Going forward, whoever the Ravens current backup QB is will be treated as and preparing as, the starter. We'll see how this goes...
Plus, can you really call flacco a "quality" starter anymore?
