I remember really liking him coming out of Tech. He hasn't done a lot, but hasn't played anywhere near a full season.

Constant injuries I guess? His catch % when they did throw to him seems solid and even excellent last year.

Sorgi only won a ring as Peyton’s backup in 2006. He was on the Giants in 2010, most notably as the main QB in Victor Cruz’s huge preseason game, but got hurt, ended up on IR, and was gone before the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2011.

For pure backup guys, there are a bunch who won two. Offhand, current Jets assistant Matt Cavanaugh backed up Joe Montana in 1984, and started as the Giants third string QB in 1990, finishing the season as Jeff Hostetler’s backup. Jeff Rutledge was Phil Simms backup in 1986 (And ran a fake punt play in Super Bowl XXI), then was the backup to Mark Rypien on Washington’s loaded 1991 team. Zeke Bratkowski backed up Bart Starr in the first two Super Bowls. Joe Gilliam backed up Terry Bradshaw for the first pair of Pittsburgh Super Bowls, and actually played a bunch in 1974. Depending on whether you’d consider him a pure back up or not, Earl Morrall won three, but he relieved Unitas in Super Bowl V and started most of the 1972 season for Miami.

And of course, on the other end of things is Garret Gilbert’s father, Gale. He lost five Super Bowls in a row as the Bills third string QB behind Kelly and Reich, and then as the Chargers backup to Stan Humphries.

Doyel sucks and is one of those local guys who ties to act like Skip and just be negative and controversial.

Though he is right that it's dumb so many of the Colts aren't getting vaccinated despite the owner, GM, and coach asking them.
