Journeyman quarterback
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. The term is normally pejorative.
The paradigm of a journeyman quarterback might be J. T. O'Sullivan, who played on no less than 11 NFL teams (plus the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Frankfurt Galaxy) during his career. Chris Chandler holds the record for starting a game for the highest number of different NFL teams, with eight.
There is no accepted definition or threshold at which a person is regarded as a journeyman quarterback, and the term is descriptive rather than definitive. Dave Krieg enjoyed a stable 11-year career with the Seattle Seahawks, before leaving through Plan B free agency, and then played for five different teams (usually as a starter) over the remaining seven years of his career. But because the years of transition occurred during the later part of his career, Krieg is not generally perceived as a classic journeyman quarterback. Similarly, Mark Rypien, who played for seven years with the Washington Redskins (including a Super Bowl MVP performance in Super Bowl XXVI) before playing for seven different teams for a single season each over the remainder of his career, is not normally regarded as a journeyman for that reason.
== 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. However a number of journeyman quarterbacks clearly have talent, including some who won Super Bowls, were drafted no. 1 overall in the NFL draft, and/or who went on to amass significant career statistics.
