Then why does he miss so much time every year?
2006 - missed 10 games
2005 - missed 5 games
2004 - missed 2 games
2003 (rookie year) - missed 1 game
He hasn't completed a full season YET. I don't understand why people think so much of him. His career completion rate is just 58% while averaging just 196 YDs/gm, with 51 career TDs (avg 12 a year) and 37 INTs and he loses a lot of fumbles.
I don't even want him as our backup even if he WAS able to stay healthy.
So, does he get #7?
