Those are just examples off of the top of my head. So, there maybe is a "plan" for guys to ride the bench "these days."

Kitna was a decent starter, Palmer was brought in to ride the bench.
Favre was a HOF, Rodgers was a BPA pick.
Plummer had taken the Broncos to the AFC Championship the year before.
Maddox had a couple of decent years prior to the Steelers drafting Big Ben.
The Giants were the only team that didn't have a QB, and acquired one specifically to sit Eli behind.
The Chiefs do not have a good veteran Qb option. Their situation is more like the Falcons and Ravens of last year.
