Personally I think it's Doug Flutie, their only touchdown of the game on sunday vs. Miami was scored when he was in the game.

So who's the best backup quarterback in the NFL?


Would Rob Johnson be the best backup quarterback in the NFL if Flutie was a starter?
(Just ponder on that question)

Neal O'Donnell - TN Titans, hands down. He could start for almost any team in the NFL.

But... Neil O'Donnel doesn't even start for the Titans.

And Trent Green doesn't even start for the Rams :)

Saints' Aaron Brooks is pretty good too. Sunday, he broke Archie Manning's franchise record, throwing for 441 yards. The week before he was amazing against the Rams!

I will have to say Aaron Brooks, too. He was simply amazing against the Rams and he had a pretty good first half against the Broncos. He is already a team leader....

Most Talented backup: Trent Green

Backups that give their teams a better chance of winning: Flutie, Cunningham, anyone who plays behind Kordell Steward

I say, the "Trents"


Trent Green and Trent Dilfer (though dilfer is now starting I believe).


Cunningham really deserves to be there too.
