Moose Johnston just said on the radio that the USFL will implement the "emergency QB" rule that the NFL dropped a decade ago.

Well Shanahan didn't even have a 2nd QB signed till when? Dec - Josh Johnson. So both XFL and USFL well ahead of that numnutz.

Imo, the emergency qb rule is dumb. Just expand the active roster. Or don’t. But if teams want to be two injuries away from not being able to throw the ball, that’s on them.

Isn't that what happened? They 46th man was for 3rd QB then NFL made it unrestricted to any position?

And here's the SF depth chart. Their 2nd QB was JJ and he was signed in Dec. Ridiculous.

Yes, that is what happened. Then they moved it to 47, and we're now up to 48 if eight are offensive linemen (which I also think is dumb). And yet teams still aren't always dressing a third QB. Which is fine! Just don't whine about it.

Agreed. But not only was SF not dressing a 3rd QB their 2nd was picked up in Dec when Lance went down in Sept. How could they not get a Baker or Cookus or Sloter as 3rd stringer as far back as then and when G went down get another.

It's definitely bizarre that they're musing about the third QB rule when they didn't even have third QB on the practice squad.

i forget the coach/gm but one of them from season 1 said when they go after qbs from NFL camps they’ll be waiting a few weeks just as a professional courtesy, could be the situation we’re seeing with the stars and gamblers. Also there’s the rookie draft coming up, maybe there’s a qb they really like in that, there’s a few different possibilities as to why they haven’t signed someone
