Cardale Jones and EJ Manuel cement backup roles!

[HHURRICANE]

Both players make teams as number 2's!

[sudzy]

In other news... both, the Charges and the Raiders are one injury away from the season being over.

[Night Train]

It just goes to show how thin the QB position is in the NFL.

[YardRat]

Good for them I hope they both do well if called upon.

[Wally The Barber]

I would rather have TJ Graham and he sucks

It's correct to assert both QBs made the final roster cuts, but incorrect to claim they made the teams "as number 2s." Manuel is the Raiders' third string QB (http://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/oak/oakland-raiders) just as Cardale Jones is the Chargers' third string QB (http://www.chargers.com/team/depth-chart). The backup QB for the Raiders is Connor Cook. The backup QB for the Chargers is Kellen Clemens.

Clemens got cut.

Pretty much every teams' season is over with that injury. The Pats might be an exception.


Sidenote - Geno Smith backup for the G-men!

I beg to differ. The Bills season wouldn't be over with that injury




It's already over.

[Arm of Harm]

Clemens got cut.

You are correct. It's odd that the Chargers' official depth chart (http://www.chargers.com/team/depth-chart) still lists Clemens as the backup, at least as of the time of me writing this post. But I'm sure they'll get that updated. Looks like the Chargers are going with just two quarterbacks, at least for the time being.

[SeatownBillsFan21]

Cook is not the back up to Carr btw.

[Mace]

Doesn't really mean anything but I had to look it up, stats for all 3 for the last 2 preseason games :

Peterman - 20/34 174 yards, 0 td 0 int, 1 rush 3 yards, 2 sacks
Jones - 27/37 232 yards, 0 td 2 int, 4 rush 33 yards, 3 sacks
Manuel - 11/18 93 yards, 1 td 0 int, 3 rush 6 yards, 1 sack

I think Jones has more to offer with development effort, Peterman impresses me as progressing as he should be, on Manuel I have no thoughts besides I think he's Trentative and will never be able to let loose.

Both those teams are a heartbeat away from a collapse then.

Jealous about fake sources?

Don't shoot messenger!

[WagonCircler]

Neither of them will ever be starts in this league. That's the only fact that matters.
