I do not understand how they could possibly be thinking of putting the Brown guy over AVP- He has worked his ass off for this organization. He even thought he had a starting job after his wonderful performance last year... I just dont understand this
AVP not to be 2nd string?

Backup QB isn't like backup LB or backup RB, they never touch the field. IMO, there's two backup QB slots on every team.
First, there's the backup QB when the starter is healthy, who acts almost like a coach on the sideline and points out weaknesses in the defense, etc. I think AVP is good for this job due to his experience and familiarity with a lot of the defenses we'll be playing. I don't think AVP will lose this job.
Second, there's the backup QB when the starter is injured for a long stretch. This is the one that will actually get to go on the field for an extended period of time. Right now, I don't have much faith in either of our backups to fulfill this role, but maybe that'll change throughout camp. With a QB as durable as DB (last year is the first year he has really missed any sort of time due to injury), I don't think its necessarily as important to have the second type of backup (playing backup) as it is to have the first type I listed (coach backup). Because of this, I'd be suprised if AVP doesn't get the nod as "second-string" QB.

I doubt Travis will be the No. 2 - the coaching staff is still high on AVP (after all, he was almost our starter...)
Maybe in a few years Brown will be a back up, but it's deceptive when Travis goes against the opposition's third-string defense. And he did get cut by Seattle last year, who don't exactly have a great pair of QBs...Last night's game was, without a doubt, the worst ever. Rest assured, I was on the internet within minutes, registering my disgust throughout the world.

After last year, I kinda like AVP. I almost got a new jersey with his #10 (seriously). From what I have seen/heard/read, he is the coaching type of backup, very smart with limited physical skills. I think that they should keep him around.You think you're hot **** in a champagne glass, but you're really cold diarrhea in a Dixie cup!
