Am I the only one who's confused with the whole "Start Betts, Portis is the backup" thing? I mean I've watched a substantial amount of football in my time and I don't ever recall any team doing something like this.

For that matter I don't ever recall a team saying if their starting QB went down in a game, one guy would finish off, but if the QB was out for a while, a different guy would take over.

I'm not saying Gibbs & Co. are wrong or crazy, I'm just saying it's all pretty new to me.

That or I don't pay attention very well.
