Miami used their 3rd string QB - We don't have one.

[JayhawkMike]

Maybe it's just me but it worries me that we only have one backup while even last Sunday Miami was using their 3rd stringer.

Does it worry anyone else?

 

[Ruminator]

Yes, it worries plenty of anyone elses. But I'm not one of them.

Their third string QB was promoted from the practice squad after the injury to Tua. He wasn’t with the team for even a month, so technically the dolphins didn’t even have a third string QB either.

If Geno gets hurt, it will be Howell and Jaren Hall will be elevated from the practice squad.

If we are down to our third string quarterback, there’s nothing to worry about because it’s all over.

Just like Miami

Exactly but Miami didn’t even have a real back up at all. That GM should be fired knowing that the starter was one stiff wind fart away from getting another concussion.

Didn’t they put in a new rule you could keep a 3rd qb as inactive but theyd still be available to play if needed? A 49er rule?

 

[Hawkinaz]

I would rather give the roster spot to a position like a RT, i would rather have a skill position player as an emergency QB carrying a 3rd QB

Have the Seahawks in their entire history ever had to go to a third quarterback in a game?

Yes they can do that but it takes a roster spot that can be better put to use with other positions.

If we are in a game and both our top 2 qbs get injured we might as well put in a backup lineman at FB and direct snap to the RB

Great find. I remember the day before the Seahawks beat the Panthers in the NFC championship game in January 2006 Adkins and I talked for a while at a Seahawks pep rally at some bar near the stadium. I also had a great discussion with Dave Wyman that day who was a super genuine guy.

Kam was our emergency QB under Pete. Almost played.

Kam at QB would've just been unfair to the other teams. No other player would dare sack him.

Wasn't there a similar situation with Golden Tate once or am I imagining that?
