So after reading an article on NFL.com about lack of quality backup QBs citing Indy and Chicago as teams that failed based solely on losing their starter, I decided to do some math.

Teams that have lost their starting QB to injury at any point this season are 25-35 without them and 47-49 with them.

If you take out Indy, teams whose QBs have sat due to injury are 23-22 without them and 47-49 with them.

Interesting. Outside of Indy's debaucle, teams actually have a winning record with their starting QB injured and a losing record with him playing.
