In dynasty, 2-QB leagues, deep-roster leagues and, to a lesser extent, regular re-drafts, which backup QB's would have the best combination of talent and opportunity to succeed at a close-to-QB1 level if the starter suddenly vanished?
I'll throw out a few names to start the discussion. Would love to see in-order listing of preference of our sharks if you were using a roster spot to sit on a backup QB with such a high-end ceiling. If you could zap any starting QB and give the baton to a backup who you owned, who would it be?
This is a much more important discussion in light of the no-tolerance position the NFL has taken with players who do stupid things like hit women and beat children. The NFL has given itself a new standard of being judge, jury, and executioner even with first offenses that come out of nowhere. I am not criticizing the NFL's position but am merely acknowledging that untouchable superstars like Adrian Peterson can disappear from football suddenly even without an injury.
Could take over the job even without an injury, drug offense, or crime:
Michael Vick- NYJ
Johnny Manziel- Cleveland
Matt Moore- Miami
Shaun Hill- STL
Josh McCown- TB
Would need an injury/drugs/crime for sure but could put up good fantasy stats if they became the starter:
Jason Campbell- Cincinnati
Brock Osweiler- Denver
Brandon Weeden- Dallas
Ryan Mallett- Houston
Dan Orlovsky/Kellen Moore- Detroit
Matt Hasselbeck- Indy
Luke McCown- New Orleans
Jimmy Garappolo- New England
Tavaris Jackson- Seattle
Kellen Clemens- San Diego
