Since drafting Justin Fields in 2021 the Bears are 6-25 when he starts and 6-7 when the backup starts. (alien.top)

The bears now have as many wins in 13 games using a backup QB as they do in 31 games when Fields starts. People keep talking about how bad the rest of the roster is (which is true) but it's crazy how other guys have somehow managed to get it done.

Feel like this is a bit of a stretch considering 3 of the wins you’re listing are by Andy Dalton who was named the starter in 2021. I wouldn’t count him as a true backup - he was legit better than Rookie Fields.

In 2022-2023, it would be 2-4 vs 4-17; still awful but doesn’t show that the backups are winning much more.
