Sometimes quarterback competitions aren't really competitions at all.
Let's rewind to 2021 and the Urban Meyer era for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars drafted Trevor Lawrence, one of the best quarterback prospects ever, first overall in the NFL Draft. Everyone knew he'd start Week 1. But in his infinite wisdom, Meyer pretended there was a competition. He had Lawrence split time until Aug. 25, when he was finally named the team's starter. All that did was cost Lawrence valuable reps, when everyone knew the outcome. Meyer was fired after 13 games.
This season there does seem to be a few true competitions, though not many.
