This goes back to a point I’ve mentioned frequently. I don’t understand how the Rams and Cardinals, competing for playoff spots had nobodies with zero game experience as their backup QBs. It’s insane. The QB position is the most important so you should have a solid backup. With guys like Mark Sanchez and Leinart still in their mid 30s, I don’t understand why they are no longer in the NFL. No, they’re not great, but their experienced vets who could fill in for a couple games.
Other than the Saints this season with Winston and the Chiefs with Henne, most teams are ill prepared for an injury to their starting QB.
Heck, I’d even sign a 40+ year old Josh McCown vs guys with little or no experience like Davis Webb and Jake Fromm Stare Farm.
Regarding Barkley, if the guy couldn’t play, his relationship with Josh should mean nothing, Bbecause he’s somewhat serviceable and has experience, especially within their system, I think he should be kept around.
I also can never understand why most NFL teams carry only 2 QBs. Again, most important position on the team and you’re going to go with an emergency QB if your 2 QBs both get hurt?
