so Clausen is third team QB?

[Mr. Scot]

Rivera says "not so fast" on that (per Joe Person)

Team Web site lists Derek Anderson as No. 2, but Rivera says he hasn't made that decision. Anderson was Cards' Week 1 starting QB last year.

I figure Anderson will be the primary backup, but apparently it's not official just yet.

[JohnnyDestiny11]

There is no reason to name a number three this season because unlike years past, the third QB is not inactive. You used to have to designate a third QB because they did not count against your dress total for game day--also why QBs could not reenter the game if your number three played.

[The_Cannon]

So does that mean the Jimmy or the third QB won't dress for games?

[Mr. Scot]

Third QBs always dressed for games, even under the old rules.

It just means Rivera hasn't yet decided who the primary backup is.

Depth Chart says Jimmy is number 2 when i just looked at it -_-

yesterday they had him 3rd on that link, something changed. and I doubt Claussen has performed any better in last 24hrs

He will probably sit there this year and next.

Wasting a roster spot on a guy holding a clipboard every game instead of an on-the-field contributor.

Armanti is tearing it up in my Madden 12 franchise.

He's buried on the depth chart in mine.

The third QB isn't active. You can only dress 46 players on game day anyway.#

But of course you're 'The Oracle' so of course you know that.

I thought they changed that rule this offseason: adding a active roster spot on game day and added 3rd QB to it ending the emergency QB rule allowing all 3 to be able to enter and leave game.

after this year they will need to improve the QB depth chart. I think DA and Clausen both will be gone.

Everyone always says Clausen is cheap...but cheap don't matter when you don't fit.

They did.

Out of sight out of mind. lets hope it stays that way then I won't mind at all.

I bet they use Armanti as the 3d QB and save on dressing out another QB.
