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.
Fair enough. But if a fantastic backup is one that can carry a team to the grey cup you definitely have your expectations way way to high. Glenn is a fantastic back up because he can come in and win games, even a playoff game or two as he's proven.

Also Porter 102 pass attempts last season. Glenn 488. So that hardly seems to me as splitting snaps. 80% of Porter snap came in garbage time when the games were out of reach.
