Many people get into sports because of the fun, positive community they can create. People from all different backgrounds can come together under the common goal of , to quote the great Jerry Seinfeld. However, there is also an ugly side of sports where fans sometimes root for ill will for their opponents or sometimes their own players if they are struggling in a major way. This article is about that reality: Marshall Faulk Jersey players struggling who may be on their way to the bench soon. Here is a look at eight quarterbacks who could be in jeopardy of being benched in 2023, ranked from least likely to most likely to be asked to take a seat. NYJ QB #2 CMP%58.5YDs712TD4INT4YD/Att5.79 head coach Robert Saleh has been telling anyone who would listen since future Hall of Fame quarterback went down with a torn Achilles thatdespite him making the unfortunate history of being the only player since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to rank dead last in pa ser rating in consecutive seasons (69.7 in 2021 and 72.8 in 2022). Saleh and general manager Joe Douglas need him to look somewhat competent in this season-long audition since they went all in on selecting him second overall in the 2021 .Wilson checked the competent box in Week 4, totaling 245 pa sing yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions on 28 of 39 pa sing for a 105.2 pa ser rating in a 23-20 lo s against the defending champion on "Sunday Night Football." Sunday night marked the first game of Wilson's career in which he had multiple pa sing touchdowns and no interceptions in a game. His opponent, -- the reigning and Super Bowl MVP -- threw for 203 pa sing yards while also accumulating a touchdown and two interceptions on 18 of 30 pa sing for a 63.6 pa ser rating. Those statistics led to Wilson being the first quarterback to have more completions, more pa sing yards, more pa sing touchdowns and fewer interceptions than Mahomes in a game opposite the two-time Super Bowl champion, according to. This performance led to All-Pro linebacker when retired NFL safety Rodney Harrison, a current NBC Sports analyst, called the Jets third-year quarterback "garbage" on national television after "Sunday Night Football."Between former backup and being the other options in the Jets quarterback room, plus the draft capital invested in Wilson, the BYU alum is the least likely to be to sed aside among the pa sers in jeopardy of losing their jobs. CHI QB #1 CMP%64.2YDs861TD7INT5YD/Att7 The cast their fortune with Justin Fields this offseason, trading out of the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft because they were confident in his future. Through four games, the 2023 season has already come off the rails during an 0-4 start. Fields before attempting to walk that a se sment back later that same day.He has lost 12 consecutive starts, making him the first, first-round pick quarterback to lose at least 12 consecutive starts since Archie Manning from 1981-1984. Fields is also the most sacked quarterback in the NFL since the start of last season, having absorbed 72 quarterback takedowns in that span. He did show a flicker of life in Week 4, a 31-28 Joe Namath Jersey defeat against the as he set career-highs in completions (28), pa sing yards (335) and pa sing touchdowns (four). However, the production came against the Broncos, the owners of their worst scoring defense in the NFL, 37.5 points per game allowed, and he wilted in the second half as the Bears blew a 21-point lead.First HalfSecond HalfTeam Points217Pa sing Yards231104Pa s Yards/Att13.65.8TD-INT3-01-1The reason why Fields is unlikely to be benched is because of how much the team has invested in him, and their backup is undrafted rookie out of Shepherd. It's not like Fields has a known veteran lurking behind him. Plus, if the lo ses keep piling up anyways while Fields is out there, what's the harm? Between their own pick and the 0-4 pick, Chicago has a great shot to win the Caleb Williams sweepstakes.The are 3-1 and in sole po se sion of first place in the NFC South in large part to quarterback Baker Mayfield. He has seven pa sing touchdowns to only two interceptions with a 70% completion rate. Mayfield has also been the NFL's best quarterback on third down, aka the money down, so far in 2023. That's impre sive Jalen Ramsey Jersey work.NFL RankComp Pct79.5%1stPa s Yards/Att8.39thTD-INT5-01stPa ser Rating140.71st* Among 34 qualified quarterbacksShould Mayfield crumble as the season progre ses, something that happened with the Carolina Panthers last season, it wouldn't be stunning to see him benched. He is on a one-year contract, so the team has no incentive to go out of its way to give him special treatment. Tampa Bay gave 2021 second-round pick every opportunity to win the starting quarterback job this offseason. They were the last team to end their "quarterback competition" in the lead up to the 2023 regular season. If Mayfield backslides, Trask could see playtime sooner rather than later. DEN QB #3 CMP%67.4YDs1014TD9INT2YD/Att7.68 The NFL Draft order is currently determined by the league's worst records, going in reverse order from thirty-second to first. However during current Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton's one year sabbatical from coaching NFL football when he worked as an analyst for Fox Sports, he suggested the league could eventually follow the model to determine the draft order, a lottery system. His reason for that shift, just a few months ago, was because he thought teams would be tripping over themselves to select reigning Heisman Trophy winner and current USC quarterback Caleb Williams when he is draft-eligible in 2024. "This player Caleb Williams is the type of player we could look back on in five years and say 'he's why the lottery exists now,'" Payton .With the Broncos staring at a 1-3 start in 2023, with their only victory being over the helple s Chicago Bears in Week 4, this Payton quote is something to keep an eye on in Denver. Yes, the three lo ses mostly fall at the feet of the NFL's worst scoring defense as the Broncos are allowing 37.5 points per game this season. Plus, Wilson is actually playing well overall with nine pa sing touchdowns and only two interceptions, a key component of his 106.7 pa ser rating, the third-highest in the league.However, Payton reportedly told Wilson he needs to and that he isn't "running for public office." The two don't exactly sound like BFFs. The Broncos also signed backup to a two-year, $10 million contract this past offseason, a deal that is on the high-end when it comes to backup quarterback money. If the lo ses continue to mount thanks to a porous defense, Payton could sit Wilson down to fully engage in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes. SEA QB #14 CMP%67.1YDs961TD4INT5YD/Att6.86 Second-year quarterback Sam Howell, a fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has Torry Holt Jersey had an up-and-down first four games as the starting quarterback. He looked fantastic in Weeks 1-2, throwing for 501 pa sing yards, three touchdowns and one interception on a 65.7% completion percentage. However, he melted down against the , throwing a career-high four interceptions -- the most any quarterback has thrown in a game this season.Howell bounced back in Week 4 despite the Commanders losing 34-31 in overtime at the , throwing for 290 pa sing yards, a game-tying 10-yard touchdown pa s to with no time left and no interceptions on 29 of 41 pa sing.Perhaps just as big or an even bigger i sue than the four-interception game against Buffalo is Howell's awarene s in the pocket. In that same game, he was sacked nine times. Howell has absorbed an NFL-high 24 sacks in four games this season. That puts him on pace to be sacked 102 times this season, blowing past the NFL single-season record for the most times sacked, 76. The record was set by 2002 first overall pick quarterback David Carr in his rookie year with the , who were also in their first year in the NFL as an expansion franchise. Sacks are a statistic that a quarterback can control even with a shoddy offensive line. The Commanders 38.3% quarterback pre sure rate allowed ranks 21st in the NFL, not great, but it's not too far from average. Howell's average time to throw of 3.08 seconds is the ninth-longest in the NFL, calling into question his anticipation, instincts and pocket awarene s.Washington did sign trusty backup quarterback to a one-year, $8 million contract this past offseason. If Howell continues to struggle to stay upright and lo ses begin to stack up, head coach Ron Rivera may pull the plug. TEN QB #17 CMP%62.0YDs788TD2INT4YD/Att7.3 Ryan Tannehill is 35, in the final season of his four-year, $118 million contract and is on pace to play the worst football of his 11 John Johnson Jersey -year career. His current 74.9 pa ser rating ranks 31st out of 34 qualified quarterback this season -- ahead of only Zach Wilson (72.3), (69.7) and an injured (69.1) --, and it would rank as the lowest of his care |
