I’ll admit it.
I have never put a high value on the backup quarterback position. I prescribed to former Colts’ offensive coordinator Tom Moore’s theory backup quarterbacks. He was once asked why they didn’t give Peyton Manning’s backup more reps. I’ll have to clean it up in order for the good people at Cincy Jungle and SB Nation to allow me to publish this, but essentially he said that they didn’t have a chance without Manning and they weren’t going to practice for a that situation.
I like the Trevor Siemian signing. It was a skill-upgrade and brings starting experience to the backup role.
