Does the backup QB really matter?

If we have to rely on a backup QB the season is probably already over anyways, unless it's just for a couple of games. Future draft picks would help the team a lot more than having McCarron as the backup QB the next two years.

If anything it is a barrier to a hole, which is why Jerry Jones couldn't even see the Glory Hole last season, much less enjoy it...

Change of direction here.  The Broncos just won the SB.  Their backup QB played 7 games and went 5-2.  If Osweiler instead stunk it up like the Cowboys backups did and went 2-5, they never make the post-season, much less hoist the trophy
