Who is the best backup QB in the league?

Question

Your starting QB is hurt and you can only choose one from this list:

Brady Quinn

Sage Rosenfels

Damon Huard

Billy Volek

Todd Collins

Seneca Wallace

My choice is Wallace. Unfortunately most people have never seen him play. He could easily be a starting QB for most other teams, but he is stuck behind Hasselbeck in Seattle.

Answer 1

1. Washington: Todd Collins --

2. Tampa Bay: Brian Griese "ONLY IN TAMPA SYSTEM."

3. Houston: Sage Rosenfels

4. San Diego: Billy Volek

5. Tennessee: Kerry Collins --

Answer 4

Quinn and Chris Simms. I gotta agree Seneca Wallace should be the starting QB for the Cheifs, Vikings, or Ravens. (Making them SB contenders)

Answer 5

Sage Rosenfels  the texans went like 6 -2 with him last year

Answer 6

Why isn't Brad Johnson on your list ? He did qb Tampa Bay the year they won the Super Bowl.

Answer 7

They're all good backup qbs...for what they are, backups.  With the exception of Brady Quinn possibly in the future (not as of now), I wouldn't want any as the STARTING quarterback for my  team.  That's why I must ask this...if Wallace could "EASILY" be the starting QB for "MOST" other teams...which teams could he start at?  Who would you put him ahead of that has a starting job?  And remember, you said it was easily and most teams...so there should be a list of at least 15 teams that it would be a no-brainer on the decision.  Just asking.

***Alright...he wouldn't start for Hou, Den, Det (when somebody retires doesn't count...I could say the Colts when Manning retires), GB (they didn't want Favre back because of the confidence in Rodgers...you think they'd start Wallace?), STL, and Ari.  So I agree...could probably start for Mia, Bal, KC, Min, Chi, SF, and maybe Buf.  7 teams...and they're not 100% definite he'd start there.  Not knocking him..that goes for any of the guys on your list.  But that's exactly why they are where they are...in backup roles.  If they were viewed as more than that...somebody would've offered them a big contract.  And if you believe those teams would match a 5 year, 40 million dollar contract for them to be a backup...that's crazy.  But they don't get offered those contracts because they're quality backups...not quality starters.  But would definitely take most of them as my backup...except for Huard.  One on the list is my teams backup...Todd Collins.***

Answer 8

Well, if it is for only a game or even a season, I am definitely going with Seneca Wallace. He is a phenomenal football player and athlete. They have actually talked to him about playing WR even. How awesome due you have to be in order to be the backup QB, and a possible WR. Unbelievable. However, Quinn is the best of the pick if you want a future QB.  

Answer 9

brady hes a beast.

almost as cool as the colts lorenzen

Answer 10

I would go with Todd Collins. He led the Redskins from 5-7 to 9-7 and into the playoffs last season. Not bad for a backup.

Answer 11

Charlie Batch.

from Your list, Quinn. I saw the game tonight and, thought Frye, actually looked better than I've seen Wallace look.

Answer 12

Quinn, Wallace, or collins. They are the only three that have proved that they have talent and can lead an nfl team. Quinn was amazing for notre dame, collins was great in the end of the 07 08 season. and when wallace will ever play he shows amazing talent to the viewers.

Answer 13

This is easy Billy Volek,because he helped beat the Colts last year in the playoffs.
