‘Van Pelt is a super guy, beloved by his teammates and better-versed in the no-huddle offense than Johnson. Unfortunately, he is neither strong-armed nor mobile. Van Pelt is a backup and doesn’t seriously aspire otherwise, which makes him perfect for his position. Oh, he relishes this opportunity . After all, since going to camp with the Steelers back in 1993, the 31-year-old Van Pelt has started exactly three NFL games, all in Buffalo’s nightmarish 1997 season when guys named Todd Collins and Billy Joe Hobert were his competition. Now, if he can stay healthy, Van Pelt will get a month’s worth of starts. But what makes him different is that even if he plays lights-out, the former University of Pittsburgh star wouldn’t expect to take Johnson’s job. That’s why Doug Flutie and Johnson couldn’t co-exist, salary cap issues aside, while Van Pelt is perfect for that role.’
