He's got to be one of the worst backup QBs in the league. Guys like Mark Sanchez and Matt Hasselbeck bounce around the league forever, because they have starting experience and can see the field. It's almost like having an extra coach.
Rush doesn't have starting experience that translates to games or seeing the field as a backup. His skills haven't really improved since he came into the league. Every ball he throws floats forever. No zip at all. He has a long windup, although he does seem to be reasonably accurate, but that's the only trait I can think of that is a positive. He doesn't really have much pocket presence or agility.
I know the peanut gallery will say we are screwed if Dak goes down, but what if it is just a couple of games and we need someone to keep us relevant? I don't think Rush is the guy to do that.
OMG...Sanchez...he maybe a coach on the field but he can't execute anything. perhaps Garrett should be a back up QB for the team....
just think about it, outside of some teams who drafted rookie QBs and they are back up/developed, who has a good back up QB situation.
New England with Hoyer,
New Orleans,
Miami has Fitzpatrick....perhaps he is a legit back up....
perhaps ravens, with Griffin,
Tenn, got Tannehill, former starter,
Rams got Bortles....former starter,
Eagles didn't want McCown (nobody did as he was sitting on his couch sipping coffee) until they had two injuries in camp and called him off his couch....
Colts had Brissett, but now, he is the starte and they are screwed
so that's about 6 teams, with perhaps a little decent, not great, but decent back up QB. the other 27 teams are screwed if the starter goes down. half the teams struggle with starting QB, and now you are complaining about Rush and what he brings to the table!!! lets put it this way, if a starter goes down, that team is pretty much screwed, except for the few above, where they may survive. the rest are done.
and lets kick rush out the door....lets bring in who? Sanchez!!! not thanks..I take rush....Hasselback!! really...that's your solution!?…..what else you got that would defintley clearly be better than Rush
and this is not defending Rush.....its easy to complain, but if you have no alternative solutions, then maybe we shouldn't complain!
