Let's Talk QB Height (w/ Daniel going to N.O.)

My point is you need to be prepared for some really messed up contingencies. Look at Minnesota last year. Jackson sucked, they throw in Frerotte, he gets hurt, etc. Teams getting stuck going to #3 QBs isn't all that rare.

I see Minnesota had 4 people throw the ball last year, Jackson, Butthead, Sidney Rice and Chester Taylor. So who was the third?

Actually it is incredibly rare. Have the Redskins used a 3rd QB since the bodybag game? When did they use one before that?

Let's not forget Doug Flutie. My buddy played hoops with him a few times in Bethany Beach and he swears he wasn't taller than 5'8", yet he had a pretty decent career. He was also a pretty good all around athlete.

Yes, Minny's 1st QB sucked, then they put their 2nd QB, then the 2nd QB got hurt, and plugged in the 1st QB again. Where's the 3rd stringer here?

The key word here is back ups, but you were talking about going with a 3rd stringer...

People are obsessed with statistics in football. That's why so much is put into a 40 yard dash for runningbacks, cornerbacks, and wide receivers. For quarterbacks, it's arm strength and height.
