18 quarterbacks who have or will see significant playing time during the 2008 NFL season. If you are a QB in college who is being scouted as a pro prospect, you must be licking your chops right now. The time is now for many QBs that are 2nd or 3rd on their team's depth chart.

It can be a crapshoot, I'll throw another list at you, the list of QBs that have won a Super Bowl in the 2000s. Kurt Warner, Trent Dilfer, Tom Brady (3 times), Brad Johnson, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning. QB is an important position, but coaches have found ways to win with average QBs. Time of possession, running the football, stalwart defense......passing is overrated.

And who doesn't like an underdog. It's why we pull for the scrubs during training camp. Nobody ever expects the understudy to prevail, but dreams can come true. What else is there to say, the proof is in the pudding. It's all so cliche, but that's why we play the games. A good backup is like an insurance policy, you are taking a risk if you don't have one in place.
