does anyone know for sure that teams keep at least three guys active that can throw the ball, at the very least 2 real qbs, and a 3rd qb who played qb in hs but plays rb or wr now? because if we cut brad smith and only keep tuel inactive, then who would play qb if ej and kolb got hurt hypothetically?
do most teams keep a 3rd qb type active?

Re: do most teams keep a 3rd qb type active?
I know it used to be that teams always kept tree QBs on the 53 man roster, and then had two active on Sunday. There also might be an emergency QB, a player at another position who took a few snaps at QB, and maybe had played QB at one time or another, who wouldn't be totally lost. Of course, at one time rosters were smaller than 53 members, but even then, 3 was the norm at QB. More recently, some teams have been keeping two on the 53 man roster, and one on the PS. If Buffalo cuts Jackson and only keeps Kolb as a veteran, they might well do that with Tuel. As far as 5 versus 6 WRs, there are some other ways you can adjust the roster to make that possible. If Chris Gragg could learn to be a solid blocker, he's the right size and could maybe be a TE/FB, filling a dual role.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
