Is he better than the worst starting QB in the NFL? Is he the best backup QB in the NFL? Some people seem to think so.

No, they did this exercise on ESPN 1000 just now after david kaplan made this statement.
He felt like the moron he is after people listed other backup QB's better than him.

Lmfao no. Maybe he can be a top 32 Jiffy Lube employee in his state next year though.

That's where I got this from. There are definitely more backup journeymen type QBs who are more proven. However, they are nothing to be excited about potential wise. You kinda know what they are. Bagent is still an unknown.

There's probably at least 10-15 better back ups

Too early to say but he has been impressive in his own right given his limitations. At the end of the day how good he can be is less about his physical gifts and more about how much he develops between the ears.
Personally I think he has potential to develop into a starter.

He's a top 15 backup.
IDK if he'll ever progress to a starter. I just don't think any team will see him more than a stop gap. His best career trajectory is to sign with a different team to be a bridge QB for a draft pick and then make 10-15mil as a backup shortly there after.

What's perhaps more important is that he believes he's a top 32 QB.

List of backup QBs:
Bears - Bagent
Packers - Clifford
Lions - Hooker
Vikings - Darnold (assuming McCarthy is future starter)
Cowboys - Rush / Lance
Giants - DeVito
Commanders - Mariota
Eagles - Pickett
Falcons - Penix
Panthers - Dalton
Saints - Rattler
Bucs - Trask
49ers - Dobbs
Seahawks - Howell
Cardinals - Ridder
Rams - Garoppolo
Patriots - Maye (assuming Brisket is starter)
Bills - Trubisky
Dolphins - Thompson
Jets - Taylor
Ravens - Johnson
Browns - Winston
Steelers - Wilson / Fields
Bengals - Browning
Titans - Willis
Colts - Flacco
Jaguars - Jones
Texans - Keenum
Chiefs - Wentz
Raiders - Minshew
Chargers - Stick
Broncos - Wilson
There are a handful of young guys as backup like Penix obviously and Rattler and even Trask who have potential. However, most of these are just journeymen who have peaked.

Too early to tell
He was a rookie last year jumping from D2 to the NFL. He showed some positive signs, he showed some weaknesses, but it’s not a stretch to expect him to improve from his rookie year. The question is, how much does he improve? Don’t think anyone can realistically answer that at this point

That's actually not the question. The question is whether he's better than the best 32 starters AND backups. Just saw it's been covered.

If you could cherry pick one of these guys (other than Penix) to be on the Bears, who would it be? Maybe Garoppolo or Browning would be my guess.

No, I mean which one would you choose if you could have any of them. To me, it's a whole bunch of meh.

Pittsburgh has the best backups in the league. Unfortunately one of them has to be the starter.
