TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Saw this idea elsewhere, and thought it would be interesting to hear people's opinions on it. I'll go: Josh McCown Ryan Fitzpatrick Steve DeBerg Vinny Testaverde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 McCown is to journeyman QB as Jeeves is to butler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trojan Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) Rich Gannon (maybe short on number of teams but peaked in late thirties going to SB and winning MVP on his fourth team is pretty epic), Doug Flutie (I would think he'd be near most popular), Jon Kitna (Seahawks, Bengals, Lions, and Cowboys always felt like the elite tier of journey man that sticks an extra couple years before his next stop) and Josh Johnson (tons tons tons of teams, like Josh McCown/Ryan Fitzpatrick number of teams without ever getting mentioned) all deserve shout outs for guys not yet mentioned. edit: Josh Johnson "Despite playing for sixteen teams across four leagues during his professional career, he did not win his first game as a starter until his 11th season as a member of the Redskins in 2018. " Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2008–2011) San Francisco 49ers (2012)* Sacramento Mountain Lions (2012) Cleveland Browns (2012) Cincinnati Bengals (2013) San Francisco 49ers (2014) Cincinnati Bengals (2015)* New York Jets (2015)* Indianapolis Colts (2015) Buffalo Bills (2015) Baltimore Ravens (2016)* New York Giants (2016) Houston Texans (2017) Oakland Raiders (2018)* Washington Redskins (2018) San Diego Fleet (2019) Detroit Lions (2019) Los Angeles Wildcats (2020) San Francisco 49ers (2020–present)* * Offseason and/or practice squad member only Edited March 7, 2021 by Trojan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fitz Vinny Testaverde Matt Hasselbeck Nick Foles I don't know. I didn't think of it in that capacity more so if they were a career backup. Like Don Strock played most of his years with the Dolphins just as a backup, and I would consider him a journeyman. What I decided what excluded players from my list would be if they were every at any point one of the better quarterbacks in the league for more than a couple of years.

MWil23 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Vinny Testaverde Ryan Fitzmagic Jeff Hostetler Brad Johnson If you consider Alex Smith a journeyman, he's absolutely on the list somewhere...and same for Trent Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I felt like I had to give significant weight to journeymen who won a super bowl while being journeymen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiffyJag Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Fitz Testaverde Collins George What I'm looking for in a journeyman is a ton of teams and consistently finding a way to start games on all/most of those teams. This rules out a guy like Mccown. Journeymen backup QBs are less interesting to me than the guys who actually get playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
