Rank our Backup QB

What Fitz did was post a 70.0 passer rating and an Akili Smith-like 5.1 YPA here. Dude had Housh, Kelly, and a hobbled Chad. Not the best but I wouldn't say the weapons were turrible. At least not enough to justify how awful he was. 

Fitz got an opportunity in Buffalo because Trent Edwards got injured. He then ran with that opportunity and posted great numbers. So to say he got opportunities elsewhere because of what he did in Cincy is kinda silly considering he was still a backup when he left. Buffalo is where he made a name for himself.

I like McCarron and I think he's the best backup we've had since Kitna, but it boggles my mind why people think he's clutch. Kid fumbled away the game in Denver (costing us a BYE) and crapped his pants for 3.5 quarters vs Pittsburgh. You slap a Dalton name plate on his jersey and people would be ripping him for a choke job fumble in Denver and ripping him for 3 fumbles and an INT against Pittsburgh. He only hung 16 on an absolute joke of a defense. With all these weapons? That's clutch? Pfff...

I'm not sure where I'd rank Mac as a backup. Top 10 for now probably, but there are some good ones out there other than McCarron and it doesn't seem like some on here are willing to acknowledge that. I'd say there's around a dozen backups that you could at least make an argument that they're as solid or more so at the moment.

Maybe I thought Campbell for the browns. Fitz got an opportunity to back up Edwards did he not? How is that not an opportunity, bet he got more money from the bills too. Cuz he did a decent job in a terrible situation. Kelly? The squirrel dance dude. Lmao You're the king of throwing out names of junk players to fatten the "list" of "talent" a given qb had to work with. A hobbled Chad....really dude?!

Your mind gets boggled easy bud. Putting the ball in the end zone when it mattered most is clutch, plain and simple. And keeping your poise when you're not having a great day prior to that makes it even more so, not less.

As for the Denver game, that Denver defense pushed cam Newton's shit in too.
