How would you explain not bringing in more support at backup QB?bull.

YepIn fairness, while they weren't high quality starters, Trubisky (Buffalo) and Gabbert (TB) have been NFL starters, and Trubisky has a career winning record. And McCoy (AZ) has proven to be a solid backup that can give a team a chance to win at least. We don't have any of that going with our backups. Of course, of few of the others on your list don't either.
Having a backup isn’t just about taking over rest of season for Dak. It’s about winning a few games in his absence so we still have a season when Dak returns.If Dak gets hurt I’d rather have a great draft pick instead of a fighting chance getting in the playoffs and losing and having late teens pick.
many teams don’t have good starts needless to say back up. If the back up is so good he would start.
well, of the 5 NFC top teams sitting with one loss, none of them have a good Back up QB situation...its bad and worse.How is it that we are finally a contender this year and we do not have a reliable backup QB?
Foles
Newton
Flacco (doubt eagles would have traded)
im sure I’m missing others as well.
because they like cooper rush.How would you explain not bringing in more support at backup QB?
I think you're missing the point. Your comment is based on Dak getting hurt for the season, but what if Dak were to only miss 4-5 games? If that's the case you need a backup good enough to help us win at least a few of those games to keep our playoff chances alive, and a chance at a decent playoff slot, then when Dak recovered the team could move ahead with him at the helm. You don't want to give up the season for a temporary setback.If Dak gets hurt I’d rather have a great draft pick instead of a fighting chance getting in the playoffs and losing and having late teens pick.

Im still a bit surprised they chose Rush over Gilbert.

Perhaps AZ with McCoy are slightly better than the rest, but he is on his 3rd or 4th team and hasn't done anything. his biggest fame is beating dallas on thanksgiving in Dallas.
GB has Love, who has zero regular season snaps
Tampa has Gabbard....'nuff said...
Rams have Wolford I believe....
so none of these teams including us is in a good situation with Back up QB.....if any of these starting QBs are injured and not available for playoffs....that team is done..
of all of the names you put, Foles would be the best candidate, but is chicago willing to let him go...maybe for a 7th, as I wouldn't want to pay anything more than that.
Did you see how bad Gilbert looked when he was playing with the 1s in preseason? He was hot garbage. I think we scored a total of 3 points in all the drives he was at the helm or something like that. They handed him the QB2 job and he responded by playing like crap. It was a competition and Rush clearly outplayed him.. If they had stuck with Gilbert despite that fact it would have hurt their credibility in the locker room. Rush may not be Dak but I think Big Mac and Moore can devise a game plan to let him bus drive us to at least a chance at victory. With a backup that's really all you can ask for.
And so you agree that he’s enough ?because they like cooper rush.

I think you may be right. I stand corrected....I don't think that game was on Thanksgiving.. I think it was a Monday night game.. if you're referring to the game McCoy won against us the night Romo got hurt going into OT.
Packers SB contender,... who is their Backup?How is it that we are finally a contender this year and we do not have a reliable backup QB?
Foles
Newton
Flacco (doubt eagles would have traded)
im sure I’m missing others as well.
thank you... I just repeated this before I saw yours. People are oblivious to the rest of the league.This is tired.
Without looking it up, name me the backup QB for the following teams:
- TB Buccaneers
- LA Rams
- Arizona Cardinals
- Buffalo Bills
- Cincinnatti Bengals
- Baltimore Ravens
Then tell me with a straight face why all of these teams would expect to win MULTIPLE games with that backup.
How do you know that they don't have a reliable backup? Shouldn't you wait for the backup to play? They sure have an outstanding team for a backup to play on.How is it that we are finally a contender this year and we do not have a reliable backup QB?

Newton

Can somebody name them? I would like to know who these teams have.This is tired.

I would say that Moore likes Rush. He has been working with him for years.How would you explain not bringing in more support at backup QB?
