Never under estimate a backup qb no matter what round or years in the league

It is the rule.  

It is rare that the back up is better than the starter.  That is the exception to the rule.  That is why you could only find a dozen examples on 32 team rosters over the last 25 years.  12 out of 800 doesn't prove a lot.

Please stop with the obvious trolling.  Or at least come up with something that is not clearly made up BS.

How many games did mccarron get 4? That was his chance? But dalton was drafted and fans said he needs atleast 3 years? Ok im trolling because you hate mccarron and love dalton.

Well thats not counting a ton of other situations where the team drafts qbs but its not a need and they took over also. Im sorry you guys dont see the logic in late draft pics rarely even get a real opportunity as higher round guys.

Driskel?  Maybe.  McCarron?

I am not even sure I understand what you are trying to say, but lots of back up QBs get chances when starters get injured.  It happens to multiple teams every year.  Plus back up QBs play a lot in the preseason every year.

Good starting QBs are like good starting pitchers in baseball.  There are not enough to go around.  There are always desperate teams looking very hard for them.  So any time any back up or late round pick looks good on film there is a team willing to give him a chance.

But teams want to win, and they are not going to make some unknown guy who does not look that great their starter just to see if he grows into the roll.

McCarron got a good chance.  He was not a rookie.  He stepped into a very talented offense.  And he did not look as good as Dalton.  Then he got  shot to start with the Bills, but they were not impressed either.  Now he is with the Raiders and still no playing.  He just is not that good.
