Fans think qb "competition" is a thing but mostly it's not. Decisions on starters are made in camp and at contract signing time. A team with a qb controversy is generally a team going nowhere.
When a team signs a guy for big $ or spends major draft capital acquiring him, they don't want a backup to "compete", that is a fan fantasy. They want their big, expensive plan to succeed, and some scrub putting that guy on the bench is basically a competitive, financial and p.r. disaster, unless the scrub wins the SB.
