The 2019 season was unlike anything Mike Tomlin has ever been through. I’m really not sure how many times a team has had multiple backup quarterbacks start at least six games in a single season in the history of the NFL, to be quite honest.
But it’s one of those things where you’re not thinking about too closely when it’s happening because, quite frankly, you can’t afford to. If you’re wasting time contemplating the implications of being down to a rookie undrafted free agent as your starting quarterback, then you’re not focusing enough on the task that those circumstances present you with.
