second stringer

But the production of veterans like Flacco, who is 2-1 with the Browns, and young standouts like Purdy shows the value of a solid second stringer.

All of which means the Wildcats’ quarterback room features a starter who’s as likely to make big mistakes as big plays, plus an unproven second stringer.

After all, the second stringer is the least important player on the roster until he’s the most important.

He began last season as the second stringer to Tyrod Taylor.

What accentuates that stat is that many came when he was essentially a second stringer.
