Now wait a requirement for a good back up is the ability to lead a team to a grey cup? Cause that sounds an awful lot like a starter. It means are back up has to be what Lulay or Calvillo.

So you're argument will be that Tate sucks so you need a competent backup. Okay thats fair. Then you list Porter (who lost is job to Glenn) and Mcpherson as fantastic backups? Wait what. Neither of those guys have lead a team to the grey cup, which is apparently the requirement for a backup QB.
When did competent back-up become the argument? The argument was whether Glenn was a fantastic back-up or not.

Honestly in my view if you were a fantastic back-up then yes the possibility of taking a team to the Grey Cup should be there.

I listed Porter and Macpherson as options over Glenn because they have the potential to improve. I don't think that either guy is ideal as a back-up.
