Earth to MURP.  The 3rd QB does count towards the 53-man overall roster.  Using a roster spot on a mostly useless QB for no reason instead of on an NFL-caliber player or a player with upside is ridiculous.

id sooner put Dirk the Daring back there then Koy if Garcia goes down. In any case the game would be lost if it were before 2 minutes left in the game and the Eagles need to score to win or tie the game, having to drive 80 yards.

Sadly, ARE would be a better option than Detmer or Chang.

the obvious difference is that the 3rd QB is available to play on gameday while the others left off the gameday roster are not.   Stop trying to make some ridiculous notion that it is better to put Mike Bartrum and keep a 9th LB on the roster rather than a 3rd QB.

can you imagine what would happen to a coach were he to only dress two qb's and ended up needing a third one and lost a game because of it....especially reid who as murp pointed out was in need of a 3rd qb just a few years ago

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Then Reid should sign a 3rd QB that's actually significantly better than Mike Bartrum.

I believe the Broncos did it last year. Only kept 2 Qbs, that is.

Plummer and Bradlee Van Pelt.

Didn't Saint Joe Gibbs do that and ended up having Brian Mitchell at QB against the Birds?

the body bag game.

Here's the breakdown of (vomitastic!):

QB (3) - McNabb, Garcia, Detmer
HB (4) - Westbrook, Buckhalter, Mahe, Moats/Perry
FB (1) - Parry/Tapeh still not distinguishing from each other
WR (6) - Brown, Baskett, Avant, Lewis, McCants, Gaffney/Pinkston (note: predicts Bloom to IR)
TE (3) - Smith, Schobel, Bartrum
OL (9) - Thomas, Herremans, Jackson, Andrews, Runyan, Fraley, Jean-Gilles, Justice, Darilek/Young/P. McCoy
DL (10) - Howard, Kearse, Cole, McDougle, Thomas, Patterson, Bunkley, Walker, Ramsey, Rayburn
LB (7) - Trotter, McCoy, Jones, Barber, Simoneau, Gaither, Roper/Daniels (note: predicts Gocong to IR)
CB (4) - Sheppard, Brown, Hood, Hanson/Strickland/Wynn
S (4) - Dawkins, Lewis, Considine, Reed/Mikell
K/P (2) - Akers, Johnson

So, according to him, the following players are "on the bubble" - everyone else is a lock one way or the other:

Moats
Perry
Parry
Tapeh
Gaffney
Pinkston
Darilek
Young
P. McCoy
Roper
Daniels
Hanson
Strickland
Wynn
Reed
Mikell

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I'm okay with the list with the exception of Moats, Tapeh and Pinkston. If Moats and/or Tapeh don't make it, I'll be pissed, if Pinky doesn't have some kind of miracle comeback game and demonstrates he is 100% back next game, and makes the team, I'll be pissed.

[SunMo]

the fact that Mahe is a lock over guys like Moats and Perry is an absolute disgrace
