dave, you can't be a real person.
I did not describe 20 NFL starters. I do not think guys like Jason Campbell or Tavaris Jackson or Luke McCown or Kyle Orton fit this description at all, and do not think they are ideal backups. Guys like Bradford, Stafford, McCoy, Newton, etc are obviously not "ideal backups" because they are young and developing, need to play, and we don't know what they are yet.
I described Ryan Fitzpatrick, and maybe what somebody like Alex Smith should have been at worst, but he continues to suck.
I'M NOT SAYING FITZPATRICK SHOULDN'T BE STARTING, and of course teams are dealing with the cards they are dealt. What is your point?
