Reply to comment by userwithusername in [Ari Meirov] The NFL competition committee is expected to have discussions about the third QB rule, which would allow teams to have an emergency QB in uniform (a 47th active player) on gamedays, in case of a worst case scenario situation (like the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game). by IrwinRSchyster1

The chances of a regular Joe getting carted off playing goalie is wayyyy less than the average Joe getting carted off playing QB. That is not to downplay goalie, it is insanely hard. They’ll let up a shit ton of goals and probably get hurt, but there’s a good chance the average person is permanently injured or disfigured playing QB.

I wasn’t suggesting letting non-professionals play NFL QB, just professing my love of randos playing NHL goalie. You are right, it would be criminal to have some dude with two years of NAIA QB experience drop back against NFL edge rushers.

they aren't exactly average Joe's. the Zamboni driver played hockey at a high level, just not professionally. any backup QB would be a decent QB, just not a professional player.
