He isn't a fantastic back-up because he was a bad starter in the league for years on sub-par teams in a weak Eastern division. He isn't a fantastic back-up because he has repeatedly shown that he can't take a team to the Grey Cup and doesn't win big games. He won a few play-off games in the god awful East, that isn't exactly a big thing to hang your hat on.

He is what he is a back-up. Not awful for a back-up but not fantastic either.
