With all this talk of NE running up the score and leaving Tom in when it is a blow out, a lot of people are saying there might be an increasing risk of a cheap shot.

I doubt it will happen, because so many players are too worried about their Bentleys and Escalades to risk losing money to make a point.

However, if it happened, do you guys think the backup would be able to step in and perform as well as if he'd been getting late reps in all these blow out games?

I don't know if Bill thinks about this, or maybe he figures they get enough work in practice....but it's something to consider.

Go back to your own board troll. We will demolish you 12/16
 
The last time this team had to insert an untested backup QB into the lineup, it worked out pretty well. And Moss and Stallworth weren't the starting receivers back then.
