Back-up QB options?

SAINT_MICHAEL · 03-18-2010, 07:15 PM

Why do people want to forget how his teams were doing during his end time in Jacksonville and his stint in Washington? The opinion that he doesn't have much left was not formed by his one game against the Panthers. Apparently it is a fairly common belief in the NFL as well. Many teams have hunted for starting QBs over the last 5 years and not many have wanted to give Brunell a shot. I tend to think there is a reason for that. The teams that did didn't do it for long. It doesn't seem like a need until something bad happens.

We're not in need of a starter though, and we're not looking for one, and while it is nice to have two starting quality QBs on the roster, like San Diego had while Brees was there, it is certainly not the norm.

People act as if we need somebody to play 16 games. We don't. I mean, Drew, God forbid, could get hurt in the first quarter of the first game, but how many times in the NFL has the starter gone down in game one and missed the entire season?

We're talking about spot duty, and if we're going to upgrade, then to whom? Mark has time in the system. What we should really be focused on is who is #3? Who's the guy we're grooming?
