The main thing that separates backup QBs from starters isn't the ability to throw nice passes, it's not even the ability to win NFL games...it's consistency. Guys like Fitzpatrick, Matt Flynn, Nick Foles, Matt Cassell...they'll look great for short and even some pretty long time periods. Starting QBs look good for years at a time.
That's the main thing.
