Blaine Gabbert has as many rings as Russ & Rodgers. Chad Henne has double the rings. Both are undefeated in the SB, and perhaps more importantly, neither of them threw a game-ending INT in the SB. Absolute legends, those two!
The well for vet qbs is currently really low. Nick Mullens, cj beathard, Brian Hoyer all have jobs. Tim Boyle, David Blough and even Trace McSorley were signed prior to this, even.
Not surprising. A lot of guys can last a long time under the radar, particularly if they get along with coaches and don't make waves. Josh McCown lasted 18 seasons, Todd Collins lasted 16, Henne went 15 and Derek Anderson went 13.
