I mean, who's the non-QB who'd take snaps if all 2 or 3 (as the case may be) were injured in the same game? It used to be Faulk, then Troy, then ... uh, who was it after Troy?

pretty sure its edelman

Pats726

I think the last time it came up...it was Faulk...BUT I do not think they will be going into game 1 with only 2 QBs...9 days away...a LOT can happen.

If only the Pats had someone on the roster who played quarterback in college and threw for almost 5000 yards... oh, wait.

Fencer

Do you have any basis for thinking that other than the fact that it seems to make sense?

edelman is also really cool...that better?

Gwedd

Yeah, for a rookie he's garnered a lot of positive spin..

Personally, I just can't see what all the hand-wringing is about. We have Brady & Hoyer. If both get knocked out, then Faulk or Edelman can step in until someone else gets aboard. Right now, with everything else going on, i think we'll be fine with the two QB's on the roster.

This isn't sand lot football...one doesn't JUST step up and play without a lot of preparation...I can remember in the past..Troy even had a series in a preseason game. IF they do intend to go with only 2 QBs..Faulk OR Edelman will be getting plenty of reps in practice...just in case. This isn't fantasy football where one can easily place players in and out... My thoughts are that they will have a third QB by the first game.

Gwedd

Yup... I agree. It just seems to me that the Patriots feel comfortable at the moment with Brady & Hoyer, especially considering the slim pickings for Veteran QB's out there.

What will be interesting is seeing if anyone besides the 2 QB's get any practice snaps this coming week.

This isn't handwringing, except that I was triggered to post it by a reference in another thread.

I try to figure out the "emergency" roster frequently. It's an amusing exercise.

Others:

Emergency CB -- some safety, probably Meriweather
Emergency S -- some CB
Emergency ILB -- Thomas
Emergency OLB -- some ILB

Emergency RB -- probably none except on short yardage; not sure who that would be (Wilfork?)

Emergency WR -- Watson or Faulk

Emergency P -- Gost
Emergency K -- Hanson? Welker?
Emergency LS -- Ninkovich (if active)? Who else? (Was Hochstein)
Emergency holder -- probably a QB
