Carrying four quarterbacks on a 53-man regular season roster is exceptionally rare in the modern NFL. Most of the examples of it happening include paperwork tricks and versatile signal callers like Taysom Hill during his New Orleans Saints days.
For the sake of maintaining depth at every other position, the formula is clear. One starter. One backup. One third stringer who spends most weeks either inactive or dipping down to the practice squad.
The Steelers may be the next exception to the rule as they juggle their present interests in winning with their future interests of finding their next franchise guy.

Even a diminished Aaron Rodgers showed last season that he's the best available option for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy in the here and now. He's arguably the best pure passer in NFL history, and his knowledge of where the ball needs to go was the boost the Steelers needed to win the AFC North in underdog fashion. Even if the physical ability to get it there isn't quite what it was in his prime.
