Ok, I'm trying to remember the name of this guy that was a backup for the Raiders in the mid to late 90's. He was from High Point Andrews and played against my dad in HS quite a bit. Seems like he was around 40 when he actually got a start, on MNF of all places. Anyone have any clue what his name was?

And while we're on it, Steve DeBerg was the man.

i remember when bernie got hurt and don strock came in and lead the browns to the playoffs. They had a "rock around the strock" song that they played in cleveland durring that time

8/19/2006 11:51:14 AM

ty determ, did he start for mroe than 2 or 3 seasons. You got to admit, backup QB would be an excellent job. Make 2 mil and play 40 snaps a season with no injury to the first string of course.

8/19/2006 4:29:38 PM

I think I got so tired of all the Hostetler cards I used to get I just started throwing them away

8/19/2006 5:08:10 PM

I kept every last one of mine, as well as all my scott zolaks and jimmy johnsons (the player, not the coach).

(but seriously, it's Vince Evans, I actually remember that MNF game fairly well, it was the first time I saw a black QB not named Moon or Cunningham on TV)

Frank Reich was known as a backup for the Bills he only got a shot at starting after the big comeback for Buffalo in the playoffs

sooo in 1995...... Frank Reich was with Carolina? That'd mean he was backing up Kerry Collins right?
