Do we have our backup QB?

But after having a career game against the Texans most want to keep him. FWIW Mo Egger and Tony Pike both said after that game that they weren't ready to award him the backup role yet. They needed to see more. As for me I think he'd be a fine backup which would save us having to draft a QB or spend money for a veteran.

I believe I read where Allen said they emphasized to him to take what's there, and if nothing is there to throw it away rather than risking an interception or sack. He's played much better since then. I think he can fill the #2 position.
