Of course GB had 15 on the IR last year and still won the SB. A good omen for us?

I think every team has to declare before the game who their emergency QB will be in a situation like this. Anyone confirm this? As I understand it, this is generally OD for the Texans. Whether he is the right guy for the job? Your guess is as good as mine and this situation happens so infrequently (can anyone even remember the last time the "emergency" non-QB QB actually took snaps in any game?) that it probably doesn't get a lot of attention from the coaching staff. In any event, with the prevalence of the wildcat, not sure why you couldn't get around this by putting whoever you want back there and then just claiming to be running wildcat plays.
