BuffaloBill Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Which NFL team can handle loss of starting QB early in the season to injury or suspension with least impact?
Kirby Jackson Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Nice topic!! I'm going to say Philly because I think that the guy starting may be their 3rd best QB. Denver too but it's because they have 2 guys that are equally awful. If you told me that I could pick one backup QB in football right now, I'd probably pick McCarron.
Dragonborn10 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I agree with Denver. There is not much drop off from awful to dreadful. The opposite would be Carolina, San Diego and Pittsburgh. Without Cam, Rivers, or Big Ben those teams are done.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Maybe Schaubb gets back to form for the Falcons?
Talley56 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I would say 49ers because I liked what I saw out of Gabbert last year.
GunnerBill Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I would say 49ers because I liked what I saw out of Gabbert last year.I think Gabbert is going to start. Also not sure I agree Carolina are done without Cam. Whilst Cam is unique Derek Anderson is one of the best backups in the league and had a winning record I think when he filled in for a few games in 2014. Edited July 27, 2016 by GunnerBill
prissythecat Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 In EJ I trust. He is the best backup out there as per Whaley. Also, recall quite a few posters saying that he won the QB competition last year and should have actually been the starter over Tyrod.
YoloinOhio Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Bears Hoyer is a borderline starter and is Cutler's backup. His former QB coach from Cleveland where he went 10-6, Dowell Loggains, is the OC. Edited July 27, 2016 by YoloinOhio

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Wow, tough topic. So few decent QBs in the league. I'll go with Kansas City, since they hardly even use a QB.
RobRyanFan Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Do the Colts still have Hassleback? He was pretty good.
YoloinOhio Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Do the Colts still have Hassleback? He was pretty good.retired and went into broadcasting. They signed Scott Tolzein in FA. Edited July 27, 2016 by YoloinOhio
RobRyanFan Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 retired and went into broadcasting. They signed Scott Tolzein in FA. Oh. I thought he had done pretty well when Luck was hurt.
Luxy312 Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I would go with Atlanta and Matt Schaub. He's the only guy that's consistently performed at a high level as a starter. There's other guys that have looked the part, but you would be hard pressed to find someone near his body of work. Maybe some would say he's too old, but that would be the only knock IMO.

Also his arm is shot. Complete noodle. Edited July 27, 2016 by YoloinOhio

As long as you don't mind him throwing a pick-6 per game, I guess Schaub is ok.
FireChan Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Miami. Not because Tanny sucks but because Matt Moore is the best backup QB in the league now.
Gugny Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Miami. Not because Tanny sucks but because Matt Moore is the best backup QB in the league now. I agree with this. I've wanted the Bills to get Moore for years. That said, I think the Bills are in very decent shape with regard to their backup situation. And unlike the Dolphins, it will come in handy for the Bills.
