Used to be you wanted a vet backup who could run your offense for a few weeks. But in today's league, there aren't even 32 starters, let alone competent vets to backup winning teams.

So are teams keeping a plethora of other QB options around to "break glass in case of emergency"? You can't construct a no huddle Oregon or Urban Meyer attack during a bye week, but you can call the plays conventionally.
This falls in line with my theory about the proposed rule change to move the extra point to the 1.5 yard line. Tebow actually has experience a 2-point specialist QB. Pryor could be worth a look there as well despite failing in so many other roles.
