Importance of #2 QB

[tkpatience]

I've noticed that there has been quite a lot of #1 QB injuries this season.

Sometimes that leads to the backup QB stepping up and performing like Hill (DET) and Kitna (DAL). Most of the time it's more like Collins (CHI) throwing four interceptions.

The more I think about this trend; the more it makes me think having two alright quarterbacks might be more beneficial to a team than say if you have one star QB who gets knocked out only to be replaced by a scrub.

I'm not trying to say that a team should switch between two QBs like Philly did last year. There should be a clear cut decision on who's in the number one spot. The number two position has the potential of being just as important as number one in certain circumstances.

As things currently stand, the Eagles probably have the best #2 quarterback (Kevin Kolb), unless you consider Kyle Orton a #2 qb since Tebow took the starting position from him. Also, Donovan McNabb is technically a #2 now too, so he's also really good.

I just hope the Panthers either pick up Kolb or Orton, or maybe even McNabb. We don't even have a good #1 qb.

Kevin Kolb is a great # 2 but he wants out of philly cause he wants to be a # 1 and I think they have him under contract this year coming up but then he's a free agent.

Mr Mac why would you want McNabb look at what you said he's a good # 2 and he was traded to the Skins for Kolb to start but Vick had another idea. I would rather try and live a year or two and hope Jimmy Clausson has it then bring someone in for one year.

What is nice for philly is they can pickup some much needed O-line and D-line help in a trade.
