Ranking every NFL backup quarterback by tiers, from viable starters to the Browns' circle of hell (Tier VIII: TIM BOYLE - Quarterbacks:  Tim Boyle, Detroit Lions.  At no point since high school has Boyle looked like an NFL quarterback. He threw more interceptions than touchdowns his senior college season at Eastern Kentucky, which came after transferring away from UConn.  None of these things suggest a career on Sundays. And yet, despite a 64.2 career passer rating, he’s set to enter his fourth season as a pro. He’ll make $2 million this season instead of the veteran’s minimum. He’s already qualified for a league pension. We have no choice to appreciate Tim Boyle, the NFL QB whose career makes no damn sense.  If David Blough beats him out for QB2 duties, the Lions slide up to Tier VI. That seems like the more likely option, but then I wouldn’t get the chance to bring up Boyle’s baffling college career, so here we are.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-backup-quarterback-rankings-tiers-eagles-bills-dolphins-browns

Brooks: One potential CHAOS team in each division (Detroit Lions - Credit general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell for quickly assembling a collection of hard-working players on each side of the ball with the fire and desire needed to compete. Despite the disappointing 3-13-1 record in 2021, the Lions were the gritty team that no one wanted to face down the stretch, winning three of their final six games. With Holmes and Campbell upgrading the talent on the roster this offseason, the Lions' scrappy group could create headaches for opponents who fail to bring their "A" game. The addition of rookie Aidan Hutchinson, in particular, gives the Lions a blue-chip pass rusher with the potential to create chaos at the line of scrimmage. The underrated sixth-round selections of linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and edge rusher James Houston add more speed, explosiveness and playmaking ability to a unit that needs more splash plays in 2022. If Jared Goff can steady the offense with a commitment to playing mistake-free football, the Lions could steal a few more wins in the fourth quarter when their relentless energy and effort force opponents to tap out before the final buzzer.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-season-one-chaos-team-in-each-division
