Amazing how many ex-Skin QBs there are across the league.

1. Houston: Sage Rosenfels

Rosenfels proved a starting-caliber quarterback when replacing an injured Matt Schaub last year. He should garner strong trade interest during the 2009 off-season.

2. Buffalo: J.P. Losman

The Bills have chosen another youngster -- Trent Edwards -- as their starter, but Losman's big-play ability will make him a hot free agent commodity in 2009.

3. Washington: Todd Collins

The Redskins re-signed Collins to a three-year, $9 million contract in March after he led a 2007 playoff run replacing the injured Jason Campbell.

11. St. Louis: Trent Green

Age (he's 38) and concussion history have relegated him to a backup role, but Green could be pressed into action if Rams starter Marc Bulger continues to struggle.

12. Minnesota: Gus Frerotte

He has spotty accuracy, especially on deep passes, but Frerotte provides an excellent veteran presence and usually doesn't make stupid mistakes.

13. Dallas: Brad Johnson

This Super Bowl-winning quarterback is in the twilight of his 17-year career. The Cowboys are assessing whether the newly-signed Brooks Bollinger can become Tony Romo sits to pee's backup in 2009.

15. Philadelphia: Kevin Kolb

Groomed as Donovan McNabb's heir apparent, Kolb supplanted A.J. Feeley as Philadelphia's second-stringer during the preseason.

19. Denver: Patrick Ramsey

A washout as a 2002 first-round pick by Washington, Ramsey is entering his second season as Jay Cutler's backup in Denver.

22. New Orleans: Mark Brunell

Brunell, who turns 38 later this month, didn't throw a pass last season as Washington's third-string quarterback.

24. New York Giants: David Carr

Although horrendous with Carolina in 2007, the top overall pick in the 2002 draft has a chance to get his NFL career back on track working with Giants quarterbacks guru Chris Palmer.

Wow, yeah that is amazing.

What is also amazing is how some teams with high playoff aspiration made decisions to rely on having such weak backups. It will cost some of them by the end of the season. Imagine how the ranking would look if they drilled down to the #3 backups.
