The Chiefs sat his parents in outer space at Arrowhead for his first start last season, when Rodgers was benched with COVID-19. Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love Age: 23 Known for: His presence drove Aaron Rodgers to pour himself a stiff tequila drink, sending the franchise into total disarray in the 2020 offseason. Sudfeld did not win, which put the Eagles in a better draft position and led fans to wonder if that move was really Pederson’s decision after all. Career earnings: $8,814,775ĭetroit Lions: Nate Sudfeld Age: 28 Known for: Becoming a pawn in the last game of the Eagles’ 2020 season when Doug Pederson benched Jalen Hurts early in the fourth quarter in what ended up being his last move as the head coach of the Eagles.

Career earnings: $7,125,196 NFC NorthĬhicago Bears: Trevor Siemian Age: 30 Known for: For being an esteemed guest on QB2… But also Siemian was a seventh-round pick who struggled at Northwestern and then succeeded Peyton F***ing Manning as the Broncos starter and won his first four games in 2016. ![]() Playing behind Wentz seems to make it a sure bet that he’ll see some action again this season. He also started almost the entire season last year after Ryan Fitzpatrick got hurt. Washington Commanders: Taylor Heinicke Age: 29 Known for: Starting the ‘Ders’ wild-card game in 2020 after Alex Smith was hurt, and almost getting the upset. Philadelphia Eagles: Gardner Minshew Age: 26 Known for: The jorts, and the mustache, and the single season of *relative* glory in Jacksonville.

So who are the other 31 guys whose teammates will try to convince you that they really, really believe in this season? It is time, once again, to meet the backups. He’s a guy that we definitely believe in.” He can make all the throws on the field, make the right reads at the right times. “(Rush) has been around for a long time,” Cowboys running back Tony Pollard told The Athletic. Per Jones’ assessment today, Rush is the Cowboys QB1 for the near future, and in proper backup protocol, his teammates are rallying around him. He won it, beating the Vikings on the road in Week 7 last year. Rush has started just one game in his five seasons in the NFL, most of which he’s spent in Dallas. ![]() and just last week, felt something pop in his “bionic” ankle.īut Dallas didn’t do anything to shore up the backup position this season and kept the same two backup quarterbacks they had last year: Rush and Will Grier.īy now, it is well known that Rush has the best name in the sport, but his football résumé doesn’t quite match up to his powerful name. Prescott broke his ankle in the most disgusting way possible in Week 5 of 2020 and missed the rest of the year those Cowboys had Andy Dalton, a veteran starter, as their backup, but they spiraled out of contention all the same, winning only four games without Prescott. Then Prescott battled a calf strain last season. The Cowboys, of all teams, should know to take the need for a good backup quarterback seriously. ![]() He appears to be doing just that, telling The Fan that he won’t be looking to add a veteran quarterback, because “it’s unlikely you’ll have a veteran quarterback that could get back in here and be ready to play as well as those guys can play, even if you thought you might have a talent advantage.” ![]() That seems unrealistically optimistic compared to the 6-8 week timeline that ESPN’s Todd Archer reported postgame on Sunday, and clashes with Jones’s own characterization that night: “Dak will be out for awhile.” But to be a Cowboys fan is to believe in miracles, and to be Jerry Jones is to depend upon them. Prescott had surgery Monday on the thumb of his throwing hand it went so well that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told Dallas radio station 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday morning that the team won’t be putting Prescott on injured reserve, and expects him to be back within four weeks.
