Quarterbacks who have lost their starting position in the 2024 season

The 2024 NFL season has been an unprecedented challenge for many quarterbacks, with numerous changes in ownership due to injuries, poor performance and strategic decisions by teams.

The case of Daniel Jones and the Giants

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been one of the hardest hit. After an inconsistent campaign with just eight touchdown passes, seven interceptions and a 3-13 record in his last 16 starts, coach Brian Daboll decided to bench him. Tommy DeVito, a young quarterback, took over the starting role in hopes of turning the team around.

2023 prospects on the line

Bryce Young (Panthers): The first pick in the 2023 draft temporarily lost his job due to inconsistent performances and injuries, but regained it with two consecutive victories.

Anthony Richardson (Colts): After alternating starts with Joe Flacco, Richardson earned a win over the Jets last weekend, solidifying his position.

Other quarterbacks who have lost their starting jobs

Derek Carr (Saints): His inconsistent season led to him sharing starting roles due to injuries.

Jacoby Brissett (Patriots): He was replaced by rookie Drake Maye in Week 6.

Will Levis (Titans): He has alternated the spot with Mason Rudolph.

Justin Fields (Steelers): He gave way to Russell Wilson after recovering from an injury.

Injury changes

Tua Tagovailoa (Dolphins): He missed several weeks after being injured against the Bills.

Dak Prescott (Cowboys): Out for the rest of the year after an injury against the Falcons.

Deshaun Watson (Browns): A ruptured Achilles tendon gave way to Jameis Winston.

An unpredictable season

The constant rotation of quarterbacks has marked the 2024 season as one of the most unstable for teams, testing the depth and talent of their rosters. This scenario underscores the importance of adaptability in an increasingly competitive league.
