A QB doesn't have to be a bust to be replaced.
As long as a team keeps testing the water with new potential QB's, sooner or later they will find one better then the one they are playing. That is a good thing.
It may take two or three years to evaluate and train an upcoming potential replacement. In the mean time, that potential replacement will be the backup QB. This is the way it should be at every position.
One unique feature about the QB position, is it often has a longer career potential then most of the other positions. This is why a potential replacement may need to play second fiddle for a few years. If the primary QB keeps playing at a very high level, we can trade off the backup for a draft pick and possibly another player. At this point the 3rd string QB becomes your second string QB while the team improves at each position the QB search continues. This kind of replenishment should go on forever.
Abso-frigging-lutely... but a lot of teams that do this, do it with mid-round QBs...
Which... considering just how many QBs are predicted to go early in next year's draft... might be an excellent strategy.
With all the #1s next year... some solid guys might fall to the third day.
Watch and see.
