Best backup quarterbacks in NFL history.

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

And i want to be clear about this: PURE BACKUP QUARTERBACKS.

A guy who chills on the bench, is NOT gonna challenge the starter, and is READY when the qb gets hurt to goin, play some reps, and or finish the game. You dont want him to start the game...but he will not fukk up, and he will finish a controlled game well. If you work at a job with a manager...and an assistant manager...and someone applies for the job as assistant manager...its because they want to be the assistant manager...not the manager...get it?

Top 5:

5. Doug Flutie - he might have started in canada (lol) but his best run IMO was in the nfl as a backup including the DROP KICK score.

4. Todd Collins - first of all he's a wolverine. Secondly, he added like 10 years to his career by embracing the vice president role. He'll get you to the playoffs in a pinch.

3. Dan strock - dude backed up dan marino and bernie kosar...over a 15 year period he never fukked up bad and didnt threaten dan's job (lol) but was ready when dan twisted a knee.

2. STEVE BONO - dude backed up like 6 hall of famers...and got paid decently as a backup. Backed up montana, young, and warner....THAT IS TRUSTWORTHY.

1. CHARLIE BATCH.

This nikka be ready as fukk...ben goes down like 18 times a year for a drive or two, and charlie goes in and throws no INTs and finishes the game with no fail, and ben heals up with no threat of losing his job. This is a perfect situation for everyone. He comes in hot, hands off the ball, throws safe passes, stays healthy, and closes out the win. Perfect.

Tim Tebow

This is an example, btw, of the worst ever. He threatens the starter. He will fukk up the game. He wants to start....he is poison.

You left off the best...Frank Reich. Largest come-from-behind victory in playoff history...came back from being down 35-3 at the half and

while this is an interesting topic I think its pretty hard (actually, REALLY hard imo) to figure out whether or not the backups are challenging the starters or not...they might be, just that theyre not good enough to be anything more than a backup

also, dump off passes and handoffs are standard arsenal for backup QBs thrust into starting via injuries, and is dictated by coaches...the only reason you see backups trying to go vertical is if the team is hopelessly losing or has a dumbass hc who cant play off situations....

for a team like the steelers...they dont even need anything more than handoffs and dump offs to stay in the game...that D will usually keep them in the game anyway

I think its generally obvious with a few exceptions. As a kid, i never REALLY thought steve young was really good because he played his position so well under montana...but you can usually tell who is content and who isnt
