Backup quarterbacks are the least important person on an NFL game-day roster ... until they become the most important. Just ask the 2023 Jets, who lost Aaron Rodgers after four snaps and stumbled from serious contender to 7-10. But having the right No. 2 guy could mean the Lombardi Trophy (see: Nick Foles and the 2017 Eagles).
How much teams decide to invest in their backup quarterback is an interesting team-building exercise. In general, my view is that backup QBs are underrated and represent value in the free agent market.
