Bruce Arians Considering Quarantining a Backup Quarterback in 2020

Quarantining a quarterback is quite the tongue twister, but it’s something Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians is considering for the 2020 NFL season. The NFL will undoubtedly do everything it can to play a full season, likely without fans in attendance, but the reality is that COVID-19 is not gone and will not be gone until a vaccine is developed. We probably will see players test positive for coronavirus and those players will need to miss at least a few weeks. Here’s what Arians said about Tom Brady potentially contracting the virus,

“That’s one of the things I’ve been pondering the last two or three weeks. As we set the protocols and from what I’m understanding, is that if you test positive, you’re quarantined for two weeks. But I’ve thought about keeping a third quarterback on the roster out of the room. So I might have to quarantine a quarterback just in case of a quarantine.”

Ryan Griffin (not the dog from Family Guy) is the Buccaneers’ current third-string quarterback so I suppose he is the quarantine candidate to be left out of the room during quarterback meetings with Brady and backup Blaine Gabbert.

This quarantining a quarterback thing isn’t a bad idea regardless of whether there’s a global pandemic. I think teams should have been quarantining any quarterback on the cover of Madden for years. It would have potentially saved dozens of careers.
