Being a back-up QB; or having the best job on the planet

Late last night I read the new Casey Printers K.C. Star column and then this morning I found a link to this article on A.J. Feeley over at Hashmarks. What does this all mean? Nothing really; it just got me thinking that there isn’t a better job out there than back-up NFL quarterback.

Feeley said this about his cushy profession:

“For me, it’s like playing golf.”

Yeah, except you get paid over $1.5 mil to do it and women ogle you constantly because you’re an NFL QB. Plus, like Sam Donellon put it in his piece:

“You go home at night, every night, with nothing bruised or broken, needing not even a single Advil to get a good night’s rest.”

Man. Plus, you stay in fantastic shape, get to travel and amass top-notch contacts. Many back-up QBs, Jesse Palmer for example, land lucrative TV gigs after their playing days are over.

All of this is good news for Printers. We know your goals, Casey (if you don’t, here’s the biggest one):

“To best the best — period — at quarterback and in this league.”

Well, Casey, if you don’t end up being the next Brett Favre, or even the next Kurt Warner, at least there’s The Bachelor. I’m not hating, I’m just saying.
