Emergency QB ... to
Genius!
With the trading of Sage Rosenfels to the G'ants, it opens up the door to an
opportunity that is truly unique. If taken advantage of, it borders into
the realm of genius. On game day, each team is allowed to activate &
dress 45 players plus 1. The 46th player can dress as the 3rd emergency
quarterback however that player cannot play in the game unless the #1 and #2
quarterback leave the contest. In other words, when the emergency
quarterback enters the contest, neither the #1 or #2 can return to the
contest.
Now consider the following scenario that to the best of my knowledge has never
been tried. By ranking T-Jack as the 3rd quarterback, it allows you to add
Joe Webb to the active 45 player game day roster as the #2 quarterback, allowing
for a very interesting & compelling development. Raw, untested,
head-swimming Joe Webb would then be available for some Favre-Webb pitch &
catch as well as some wild cat offense whenever we put our minds to it to make
is so.
In the event of a true emergency situation, T-Jack could then fulfill the
back-up role. In other words, unless the man that can make the field tilt
in his favor, or is that Favre, has to come out of a game, T-Jack isn't going to
see the field anyway. If Joe Webb was listed as the emergency quarterback,
with Farve as #1 and T-Jack as #2, he wouldn't see the field anyway, so exactly
what is the penalty in having to draw Joe Webb off the field with Mr. Lead in
his Butt, in an emergency situation, to get T-Jack as the #3 on the
field.
In short, what would T-Jack care if he's listed as the #2 or #3 on the depth
chart. The designation is meaningless. Regardless of how T-Jack might
feel about any designation, his primary purpose is to help our team to
succeed. In short, they could play Webb anytime in anyway that
they'd like as the #2 quarterback, whereas with T-Jack, the team would only play
him to be the quarterback in an emergency situation.
The obvious disadvantage is in activating T-Jack as the #3 quarterback, having
to sit both the #1 and #2 for the remainder of that game, there is no reliable
substitution remaining behind T-Jack. Statistically speaking, why would
you even care if this event occurs as that outcome is a virtual
impossibility.
Could we possibly be that smart ... that brazen! Time will
tell.
"Now let me get this straight. We play by the rules and you're going
to give me one more incredible athlete to incorporate into my arsenal.
What's the downside?" ... Brett Favre.~{Conjecture}
You were warned ... there is no way to contain this!!!!-
Fortunately for us all, Chilly made TJack play bad enough in the pre-season to
be down-graded to #3 to make it so ... without question. Maybe we should
be calling him Chilly-Einstein!
