Only the rarest WR5, S5 or CB6 will ever be worth close to the value that a dependable QB2 brings to the table. Again, you can scheme around almost all injuries on a NFL team (until they become too much) except for QB.
Yes there was.Kind of OT: was there a practice squad when Brady was a rookie? We all know that he was the fourth QB on that roster so it got me wondering.
I think people are selling Danny Etling short he's not going to win any beauty contest like Brady or Jimmg G but he's got some tools to work with. I hope Etling knocks Hoyer off the Roster.

I also don't know of any examples of a player choosing to stay on one team's PS when another team was willing to put him on the 53-man roster. Quite honestly, I doubt such a thing has ever happened but I can't say I know for certain.

Happened with the Patriots. A Pats PS guy turned down another team after Pats upped his pay.Now, If I could just remember who it was. . .
Ok, how many times have the patriots kept TWO backup quarterbacks? The issue is not whether we need a backup, but rather whether we need two.
Bill values versatility.
Pretty sure the Pats draft based upon how the players are rated, not based upon their needs. So drafting Stidham isn’t about Etling not going well, it was based on their grade of him.
Didn’t we have three qb’s a couple years ago, when Brady was suspended?
