3 NFL teams with the best backup QBs ft. Dolphins
Generally speaking, NFL teams with top-tier rookie quarterbacks have the best backup quarterback situations. If the journeyman quarterback goes down, they have the franchise's future waiting in the wings.
However, with only one first-round rookie quarterback in the NFL this season, injuries will be trickier to navigate, even for the teams with able backups.
Without further ado, here are three NFL teams with the best quarterback situations for the 2022-23 season:
#1 Indianapolis Colts
The Colts are one of the teams to watch out for this year with Matt Ryan on the squad. However, he's no spring chicken anymore and could suffer an injury. Should Ryan go down, the Colts have a handy backup in Nick Foles to take over under center.
remember when nick foles came into a game wearing a dark visor and told the receivers to just ignore the routes and run around and then the bears won
Foles won a Super Bowl with Indianapolis head coach Frank Reich during their time together in Philadelphia. With the two back together again, the chances of them taking off are not too shabby.
#2 Pittsburgh Steelers
After the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers were left out in the cold. However, they soon signed one of the best backup quarterbacks in the NFL in Mitch Trubisky and drafted the top quarterback prospect in this year's draft class in Kenny Pickett.
The two are set for a quarterback competition. No matter who wins, the team will have a starting-caliber quarterback sitting on the bench.
I think Kenny Pickett is better than Kyler Murray.
Kenny Pickett has plenty of potential as a rookie, and Trubisky has been to the playoffs before. With a stable environment in Pittsburgh, many believe Trubisky could finally live up to expectations.
#3 Miami Dolphins
If not for a late-season injury, Teddy Bridgewater had a good shot at leading the Denver Broncos to their first winning season since 2016. The team was 7-7 on his watch and went 0-3 without him last season. He was traded to the Miami Dolphins in the offseason and is expected to serve as a backup to Tua Tagovailoa.
Given Miami's firepower and head coach Mike McDaniel's offensive schemes, it is unlikely to the team will slow down even if Tagovailoa gets injured and Bridgewater takes charge of the offense.
