Do you even NFL?
Every year, contenders lose their starters. Last year, Brees missed 5 games but Sean Payton was smart enough to sign Teddy Bridgewater to a 1 year deal for $7.25 million to Dalton's $7 million, and the Saints went 5-0 in the interim.
The Chiefs signed a 35 year old that hadn't played football in more than a year, who didn't even go to training camp yet went 2-1 (3-1 if you recognize that Moore led the Chiefs to victory in the game Mahomes was injured).
Teams always need QB's.

And yet Matthew Stafford hasn't led Detroit to a winning season in years, Aaron Rodgers couldn't lead the Packers to a winning season in 2018 and went 6-9-1 and so on.
