His article is off in a couple of places, but it is very good. Worth a read:

Actually, the only thing I would point out is that "Damon Huard, Rivers, Mark Brunell, Chad Pennington, Matt Hasselbeck and Brad Johnson" all backed up quarterbacks who are either HoF'ers (Moon and Favre), who were having great years or were established quality QBs (Green, Brees). The only exception is Pennington, who backed up Testeverde. Point being, even 1st/2nd year QBs on teams where there was no question who should be starting the game got a little playing time.
