    There's no such thing as too much football.

    This is a widely accepted notion among American sports fans. Games are played once a week, and then the results and fantasy implications are dissected nonstop for the next six days. Rinse and repeat for six months. That's how we like it.

    For better or worse, Page 2 tests this theory once and for all.

    Because if there ever was a reason to complain about too much pigskin coverage, it would be Page 2's Backup Quarterback Rankings:

    1.Matt Leinart

    Leinart was recently cut by the Cardinals after four seasons and now hopes to reboot his career with the Texans. And frankly, if the former USC star can't beat out this guy for the backup spot behind Matt Schaub, Leinart should forfeit his Heisman Trophy.

    How is Leinart number one if he isn't the 2nd string QB?

    why Curtis Painter is in the top 10??
    Its the worst backup QB IMO, he just sucks. if Manning gets hurt, the Colts are not going to win a single game, with Curtis as a starter.

    I think even Dan Orlovsky is better than him.

    It's a Page 2 article. It's not meant to be taken seriously. There are also 3 college QBs and a guy who's been retired for 11 years on the list too.
