I'd be a starter at my current salary before being a backup at any salary.

To be perfectly fair though, if you weren't magically given NFL-caliber skills you would quickly go down in the books as the worst NFL quarterback ever. If you got no skill increase as part of this scenario, wouldn't you want to ride the bench? You'd get killed on and off the field.
It's kind of like one of those "asshole genie" scenarios. If you're not being very specific with your wishes, you're leaving yourself open to unintended consequences.

Who are you to say who doesn't have or have talent? Hell, you might be more talented at QB than 5 players in the NFL, but never had the opportunity or passion to give it a go.
To answer your question, no, because I have passion, desire, diligence to be better. And I also have the intelligence and experience to know it takes MORE than talent to be a good player in the NFL.
Do you think I'd care about getting killed?
I would love to ramble here with stories of me getting my ass kicked while I played against high schoolers when in middle school or when in high school was playing against college athletes/grown men, but you'd chime in with 'thats not the NFL' and completely miss the point. Pain means nothing to me. Getting up after a hit that makes everyone cringe, means much more.
Do you think I'd care about what people said about me during or after I was fulfilling my dream? Child, please.
The worst in the history books? If any person here played QB at all, then hopped into the NFL, I struggle believing we'd be worst than TJ Rubley or many others.
Bottom line ...
FACT: You need more than talent to be better than the worst in the NFL. Talent means squat if you don't have passion and desire, don't believe that, talk to JaMarcus Russell.
