A journeyman quarterback is a term used for an American Football (typically NFL) quarterback who plays for several teams over a career. Such a player is typically signed to year-by-year contracts, and may be signed by a team to fill in for an injured starter.
Stereotype
Many journeymen quarterbacks are seen as having mediocre talent, or having just enough talent to be the team's backup. True journeymen quarterbacks play for several teams in a career, and may go several years between starting jobs.
Notable examples
There have been countless examples of journeymen quarterbacks in the NFL, but the following players are especially famous for their sporadic careers, including Super Bowl winners (Super Bowl XXXV was contested between two journeyman quarterbacks), and players who finished their careers ranked in the top 20 of many key statistical categories.[citation needed]
