Aren't random late night out of the blue threads fun?
Thats a man baby!
Well Steve young was behind Montana, and cousins is pretty mediocre. In any case, both were only backups in their first few years. Young QBs sitting behind more established (or in cousins case more highly drafted) QBs are the exceptions to this. Other than cases like that, though, if you're a backup QB you likely aren't very good.
The jury is still out on him. There are exceptions to every rule, and he could very well be one, but for the most part backups are backups for a reason. My main point with this is the assertion that "Gabbert sucks, so he shouldn't be a backup QB while Tebow is out of the league". The truth is that both suck, as do most backup QBs, but NFL teams clearly see more value in having Gabbert as a backup than Tebow, and I can't say I disagree with them.
Honestly its a good point. L Jackson from the Ravens has the same skill set and he's starting for the Ravens. The Ravens seem all in on a QB who can't throw the ball and building an offense around it. Can't help but think Tebow would be a perfect back up to Jackson there if they are building a scheme around those deficiencies.
