Then there are those who had never seen Weeden play until this year. He has been terrible for a long time and Jerry and the staff should have known better than to give him a contract. But then again Jerry is the same guy who gave Ryan Leaf and Chad Hutchinson contracts. Are you suggesting that Weeden is just as good as any other backup in the league? That's funny.
He's as good as many backups. There is no doubt about that. Backups in this league generally stink. There are maybe 20 guys in the league who are quality starting QBs. Then you've got 12 starters who are pretty much terrible. Then you've got 32 backups behind that group.
The best you can reasonably hope for is that a backup might steal a game or two. We put Weeden in against the team with the best record in the NFL.
You just have zero context to understanding what you can expect from a backup.
