What if we go with just 2 QB's, and both Romo and Johnson go down in the same game. Who would you rather have taking snaps?

1) Stanback
2) Crayton
3) Direct snap to RB
4) Other

I really hope that never happens. But to answer your question, I'd take Stanback just because he has played the position more recently.

Crayton since Stanback will most likely be inactive.

Geez - Isn't there a law against adding logic to a discussion in the 3rd post?
Thanks, thread killer.

:D

Ok, theoretically, if Stanback were active, I'd go with him.


Cuz they he can hand it off to Crayton for the reverse pass.

moore will be on the practice squad or possibly on the roster at some point and can dress as the emergency quarterback and not count against the active 45 man gameday roster

Yeah, but would he throw it to Stanback?

Oooooooh, you're naughty.

That's a good question. Maybe we should bring Bilbo back and we can run a double reverse pass and THEN throw it to Stanback.

:confused: What? Please explain...

If in a single game, say against the mighty RedStinks, they break Romo's ankle, and then proceed to break Brad's good throwing arm...how would Moore be able to finish the game?


Serious question, because I don't know football that much, but does only 45 players dress for a game? And are you saying that Moore could dress but not count on the 45?

I'm lost here...

Hey! Isn't that play called, "The Annexation of Puerto Rico"?

A teams #3 emergency QB can dress and not count against the 45

But if he enters the game, the #1 and 2 QBs are not allowed to return no matter what. Now if he enters in the 4th quarter it doesnt matter the starter could return

That's not an inaccurate statement -- at least for the first several weeks I'd expect him to sit and watch.

The rule exists for a number of reasons - one is to get your developmental QB some snaps -- another is that nobody wants to see RBs or WRs having to play QB if your top 2 get hurt.

Heres a better Question. Would it really matter who it was? If it came to #3, I could be taking snaps and it wouldn't matter. In that situation, its just time to ride the game out and evaluate things on monday.

It would probably be best for him too. He can work on fielding kicks/punts and get a lot more work in on his route running/release/reads, etc...
