Among the 21 QBs who’ve changed teams this offseason, four ex-starters are looking to reset their careers as NFC West backups. Will it work?
The quarterback carousel has spun at a dizzying rate this offseason. In all, 21 QBs have changed teams over the past month. Seven of those were starters headed into last season and will be asked to serve as backups heading into this season. And four of those signal-callers will play in the NFC West: Jimmy Garoppolo with the Rams, Sam Howell in Seattle, Desmond Ridder with the Cardinals and Joshua Dobbs in San Francisco. Combined, the four quarterbacks went 16-32 as starters last season.
Two years later, believing Goff had topped out, McVay traded him to the Detroit Lions in favor of gunslinger Matthew Stafford. He had a sub-.500 record in the Motor City, but under McVay's tutelage, Stafford won a Super Bowl with the Rams. Sometimes, even a short period of time with McVay pays dividends for quarterbacks. With Stafford injured in 2022, Baker Mayfield reignited his career in a five-game fill-in stint in L.A., which led to a starting job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
