Can 49ers win a Super Bowl without their top 2 QBs? It’s possible

Can 49ers win a Super Bowl without their top 2 QBs? It’s possible

Backup quarterbacks pressed into duty due to injuries have won Super Bowls more often than you’d think. Jim Plunkett was a failed Heisman Trophy winner backing up Dan Pastorini in 1980 for the Oakland Raiders and had thrown one pass all season when Pastorini broke his leg in the Raiders’ fifth game. Plunkett took over and the Raiders won a Super Bowl a few months later. Jeff Hostetler had started two NFL games when the 1990 New York Giants needed him to replace an injured Phil Simms late in… Source link

Should you buy into new QBs who stepped up in Week 4?

New season, new clothes, new flavor at the ice cream or coffee shop, new streaming series, ROOKIES — we love new things, don’t we? So much better than old things, especially when it comes to certain fantasy football situations.

It’s always a crapshoot, but this year takes the cake. To make up… Source link
