But man looks hard to beat Chase Daniel for an actual long career

Backup/3rd string QB is almost entirely being a good guy, friend of the coach or the starting QB. It’s a fairly replaceable yet well paid position, almost a jobs for the boys role.

Someone like Zach Wilson or Josh Rosen being a bit egotistical probably won’t make it as backups (if they wanted to). Someone like Whitehurst or Daniel can if you say the right things and be a good guy.

The Athletic has a great series on QB2s btw I recommend give it a read/listen.

Rosen is currently the 3rd string QB on the vikings

yeah chase daniel bounced around because he was incredibly smart about football even though he didn’t have the physical tools

can’t explain why nathan peterman is still in the NFL though

Probably gives good head

Fun fact, arguably the best and worst QB ever came from the same school!

Not sure if you mean Manning at Tennessee or Marino at Pitt

Manning and Peterman both played at Tennessee

Peterman also played at Pittsburgh.

Kyle Boller wasn’t THAT bad.

Avatar might be a clue on that one ;)

Didn’t make the Tennessee connection haha

Kim McQuilken vs Nathan Peterman might be quite the stat race at the end.

weinke went 2-18 as a starter but still definitely a tier above the worst

well mcquilken’s stats are worse but gotta adjust for era since that was a long time ago

If W-L record matters Brodie Croyle went 0-10. One of four QBs since 1960 winless with 10 or more starts

NGL never heard of mcquilken before.

One of my Chiefs podcasts broke the bombshell news that the Chiefs are only 49% against the spread in games where they’re favored by 80% or more to win.

Sign.

well, he’s basically the nathan peterman of that era

kim’s INT% is actually a little higher

That DPI gets called against us every single time.

Terrible horrible punt.

That punt = no respect for Stidham

Reid can’t put his foot on anyone’s neck ever.

So far Stidham has thrown two jump balls into double coverage, and turtled up when he could have easily pushed the ball to Jacobs.

Josh McDaniels continues to be a genius evaluator of talent.
