I don’t know what you’re looking for him to do exactly. It would be nice if a couple of those red zone trips had resulted in TDs but that can happen. There’s a reason he’s a backup. But he’s on his way to a 300 yard game if he’d play the whole thing.

I want one of two things in a backup QB.

Either a young lion that can be turned into a draft pick of a QB desperate team, or a vet that was a decent starter that had his team decide they needed to go in a new direction. The former is guys like Rourke or minshew, the latter is guys like  Hasselbeck.

Beathard is a guy that never had starter ability and who would lose every game if we had to have him start for us, and that's why he's not worth paying as a backup, you can't win with guys like him.
