"There are going to be a lot of teams, us included, holding their breath this year that the starter stays healthy throughout [the season]," said one veteran offensive coordinator. "I mean, some of this was unavoidable, because of injuries. Look at Buffalo, where they had two backups go down, like within days of each other. You can't plan for that. But part of it is lack of foresight and this quarterback merry-go-round we see every spring. There just aren't a lot of teams that make [the backup position] a long-term priority."

Decent article regarding backups. Even Todd Collins gets a favorible mention.
