Roster question:

[EastDallasCowboy]

The keeping of two QBs was being discussed earlier, and this came to mind as a potential roster loophole. Does anyone know if it would be possible?

As we all know, you can only dress 43 (i think it's 43, hehe) players for each game off of your 52 man roster. But you actually dress 44, because the 3rd QB doesn't count against the game roster.

Would it be possible to designate, say Patrick Crayton, as your 3rd QB (since he was once a QB) and have him considered the 3rd QB for roster reasons, and still play WR?

My gut says there's got to be a check against this, but I'm wondering.

Jerry just said on the pre-game show that they will keep only 2 QBs.

It can be done and it's 45 dressed and a 53 man roster....not to nit pick

Walter Payton played qb a few times when the Bears qb's were hurt.

So Payton didn't count against the gameday roster?

And thanks, I knew 43 and 42 didn't sound right.

Interesting question. If your emergency QB enters the game at QB your other QB's cannot play the remainder of the game. If he enters at WR???

Probably not. However, you could definitely use his part of the 43 as a WR and still have him play QB if the other 2 go down.

If the 3rd string or emergency qb comes in to the game before the 4th q the other 2 qb's can not return.

Hrm, so there would be a way to work around it.

Maybe designate your last string OT the 3rd QB and bring him in the 4th quarter for depth?
