2023 NFL backup QBs.
If you're new, Subscribe! → bit.ly/Subscribe-to-TPS
Don’t let people tell you that backup quarterbacks are irrelevant in football. Tell that to Steve
Young, Jeff Hostetler, Nick Foles and, in a more recent example…Brock Purdy!
Every NFL team needs to have a safe insurance option, because you just never know when it’s
time to enact plan B behind center. With that said, here are our 2023 rankings for all NFL QB2s
from worst to first.
And don't forget to leave your video ideas down in the comments below, we’re looking and we’ll give you a shout out in the video if we use it.

I agree Minshew is by far the best backup in the league

idk dobbs been ballin.

[@Whyy-_-Me-]

@@dillonmoree8105 but he’s not a backup rn

[@Legiey]

46 tds to 15 interceptions is god tier for a backup

[@Indizzinator]

Agreed

[@bdids3571]

Even though they are starting now, Zach Wilson and Josh Dobbs should have been ranked on this list. Just because they are starting now doesn’t mean they aren’t backups. They are just doing their jobs playing for injured qbs

[@rothed16]

Na with Wilson. Literally is still considered Jets future and they just wanted a win now gut so brought in Rodgers to "tutor" him

[@jacobsims8307]

Agreed

[@aaron24wood]

It's funny, I remember you bagging on Gardner Minshew a couple of years ago as being bad when he had comparable stats to Joe Burrow's rookie year. Glad to see you made the correct choice here for Number 1.

[@wyattthomas9862]

Here after Jake Brownings 3rd straight win bb!!!

[@RioluLucario1994]

Easton Stick being on the Chargers for that long surprises me considering we've had Tyrod Taylor and Chase Daniel in recent years. And I think Geno Smith was still on the roster during Stick's rookie year(?) I'm not sure

[@tziporaaltmann6603]

its very funny to see this video at the end of the season

Peterman isn’t even the bears backup anymore, they moved bagent to QB2 4 days ago. How are you not updated 🤦‍♂️

Nah fr he could start on a shit ton of teams idk what he was talking about

[@javansimo9445]

Rank the starting o-line of every nfl team

[@deaniart]

Said the fan of the team who has the best offensive line in the league. You were amazing last year, coming from a fan of the Washington Commies. (I will not use that fake name). My most antagonized team was once Dallas, but because of how good Hurts and your entire team is, Eagles have my respect AND utter dislike. We can beat you the next time we meet. We just have to pretend that we're playing a second game at Lincoln Financial Field, and all our fans traveled all the way to Philly to support us.

[@rothed16]

Lol my Texans would be in Top 5....of the worst😢😂

[@deaniart]

Y'all won again; that's my bad for bluffing.

[@javansimo9445]

@@deaniart u good

[@deaniart]

@@javansimo9445 Make no mistake, I hate being submissive to your team. But you probably already knew that. We both dislike Dallas, but I found it in me to applaud Dak at the NFL Honors. Admit it, if you were there, and it was anyone outside the division you would have cheered and not booed.

[@vaporterra]

It might be the only way Mariota gets a paycheck from the NFL, but at least now he has some contacts with Netflix 😂

[@dillonmoree8105]

oh yeah clayton tune has been taking all the snaps because he is our backup. i get kyler is on the pup but he is still the qb1. so that makes dobbs qb2. you also called dobbs the backup so I am slightly confused.

[@RoaringLionsFan]

Video Idea: Opinions you were wrong about from last year

[@jaocbd-vc3bs]

Nah the video would be too long 💀

[@asportsguy5233]

Isn’t O’Connell the backup now? He did play for the Raiders in Week 4 instead of Hoyer.

[@kami_in_the_skye]

Yeah. Tyson Bagent was also named Bears QB2 a couple days before this video went up. I don't know that either change would necessarily improve their team's spot on the list though, since O'Connell is a mid-round rookie & Hoyer might've been ranked a few spots too low based on (an admittedly distant at this point) track record, and the Bears are going from the GOAT Peterman to an undrafted rookie who had a nice preseason. Another oddity is that it feels like just the *possibility* of Will Levis actually being the Titans QB2 pushed Malik Willis way further up the list than he deserved. Genuinely shocked how high he was.

[@rothed16]

Lol just watching this while i watch Lock come in and nearly throw a TD(guy tackled at 2yard line)😂

[@Gamer-ux9kn]

Thank for my suggestion!

[@1turtle1]

nathan peterman is the bears backup but i think they would put tyson baget in

[@TranceMasterJack]

As a Colts fan...yaay we finally won something!

[@epicgaming6564]

Sean Clifford at 30 is wild. Also literally nothing was said about why he is at the position you placed him at. Your only comment was "he's getting paid 6 figures to hold a clipboard behind Jordan Love."

[@WEAPONX4S]

St. BDN FOLES won us Super Bowl. Legend. Backup has a statue at The Linc. Backups are a must.

[@Matthew-gz4oh]

I would have Taylor, Mills and Mike White a little higher. Top 6 look pretty good.

[@Demaster41403]

Coming back to this and seeing DTR so low is funny. I feel like if they redid this list, he’d definitely be higher

[@Nuklier_xn]

4:38 in his defense he had a preseason wr core and o line😅

[@Eddieavina123]

Love your video TPS and keep up the great work you are awesome

[@logan15bobob]

The fact Tyler Huntley isn’t one is insane he made the pro bowl playing only like 10 games as a back up

[@lanewagner9034]

Mike white deserves a solid shot somewhere after capitalizing on the learning experience he receives in Miami

[@claudiomatos8316]

jake browning #1

[@DLeuther14]

HELL YEAH GARDNER LETS FUCKING GO

[@renecarteir8092]

Peterman isn't even the backup for the Bears. 🤦‍♂️ Do better TPS

[@stomptheman1]

It is such a crime that Minshew is not a starter in the league.

[@netherman118]

Yessir Minshew! We finally have a backup!!

[@andyman1114]

Minshew is definitely that dude

[@turtlesrcool257]

Why is Tim Boyle and Clayton tune on here Zach wilson and josh dobbs are backups

[@CaliKrome]

Did I somehow miss where they ranked Cooper Rush?

[@thomasduffy3318]

Mike Blanco needs more respect YEAHH

[@maddox4239]

I do have to inform you that i'm a big rams fan, and Brett Rypien was cut from the rams. Making stetson Bennett the second string. Please don't make that mistake again, from your ram fan!

[@ChrissGriffin2000]

Drew Lock is pretty good actually. He’d be doing better than Russ

[@julianhall1866]

Zappe should be higher like at number 8 if Jones don't shine Zappe could show some light.

[@Calebguy8]

Its either gardner minshew or jacoby brissett (im a colts fan)

[@udwis]

Tyson Bagent is da Bears backup QB

[@danielhicks1834]

I just want the Panthers to use Andy Dalton instead of Young. I get they want to break Young in, but with no O-Line, Young is just gonna get hurt and waste his career. Something the Panthers keep doing. (Newton, CMC)

[@rothed16]

I thought my Texans backup was Case Keenum?

[@turdfurgesin9563]

I don’t even think Peterman is on the Bears 😂

[@Texanslife]

How is peterman still in the league😂😂

[@FuyuBiyori]

Brian Hoyer too low, Malik Willis too high. People forget how Willis looked when he played. It was really bad. I would also argue that Brisket should be higher. He's a fringe starter at worst, and you said yourself how good he did in Cleveland.

[@kevinflamm8069]

How dare them not put Mike white number 2 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@_0mar]

I swear they make these videos before week 1 they had tune at 32 it should be Dobbs and he's a top 10 back up

[@kyleotto5446]

Brock purdy is awesome

[@adriantrez7188]

it kinda makes me mad that he ranked this before the season because cowboys would’ve got first (trey lance got traded)

[@VinnyI6420]

[@liloiax22]

Clayton Tune is WAY BETTER than Sean Clifford! They should be switched

[@Theghostdogmadderkayne]

Was bridgewater wearing #50!? Wtf this new number system is sooooo stupid!

[@rydersimeone211]

Jake browning is the new best back up

[@Artzm3sh]

bro you got to put taylor higher

[@fuhbox]

Mike White is the 🐐

[@WghAJ]

Teddy Bridgewater is borderline a starter if he was on another team

[@CarterBuonincontro]

I thought Bagent was the backup cus Peterman got cut

[@kami_in_the_skye]

I don't care how good Shanahan/the Niners offense is, Darnold is complete trash & doesn't deserve to be in the top-25, let alone the top-10. Mike White should be moved up to his spot. If he had better health luck, he'd probably be up there with the top-tier of Minshew/Dalton/Brissett/Bridgewater who should probably be starting somewhere. Huntley also feels like a notable stretch. There's something to be said for having your backup QB be an imperfect clone of your starter, but he's a *very* imperfect clone that's prone to backbreaking glitches. Rush also feels way high. The Cowboys didn't win because of him.

[@chrishenson5865]

Pretty sure zach Wilson is the back up

[@Clot05]

I feel like Jameis Winston should be higher
