If you won a ring as a backup...

[jgb]

Mike Vick's comments about getting a ring as a backup securing his legacy got me thinking. Would you wear the ring in that situation?

[dbatesman]

Depends. Did I revolutionize the quarterback position?

I'm glad you brought this up...

your ellipsis enrages me

It's pretty obvious you had no anger issues ... before then.

Maybe we should ask David Carr .

[T0mShane]

David Carr paved the way for all great QBs.

[ZachEY]

Depends. Not all back ups are the same. If I'm a career back up/special team player, then absolutely I wear it, and with a ton of pride. If I'm and older veteran who's past his prime but rotational, I still probably wear it. If I'm a former starting QB who never won one, and then did in a back up role, maybe not.

In reality, they're super tacky and I probably wouldn't wear it regardless. The same thoughts apply to displaying it in my home, I suppose.

[The Crusher]

Yes.  i would wear it on my way to Pawn Stars and then i would walk out and bring the Vegas "All you can Eat" buffet monopoly to its knees.   bwahahahahahah

[JerryK]

Women won't care if you were a backup, so yeah.  Just tell them you provided secret knowledge and 'intangibles'.

[Il Mostro]

But he revolutionized the position.

[RutgersJetFan]

Viva la revolucion!

[FloridaJetsFan]

David Carr paved the way for all the great QBs named Carr.

 

Fixed.

My gut tell me one day we're going to meet and you're going to be 180 lbs.

If you dig my grave up after 10 years that's a real possibility.

he is confusing you with your morning "deposits"

Never took a 180 lb crap but I can tell you anyone who has walked into the bathroom after I release would most certainly disagree.

According to Wiki Answers:

 

 

 The NFL pays for 150 rings to be distributed by the Super Bowl winning team. The team may distribute them however they wish. Should the team decide they want to give out more than 150 rings, they must pay for the cost of the rings after the 150. 

So not only do practice squad members get rings but ball boys, trainers, secretaries, among others, probably get one also.

 

I don't know if I would wear a clunky ring all that often, but I'd sure as hell make a nice display case for it, maybe a framed shadow box with a signed team pic or something.  Part of the cool, is that there is only 150 of them, and you have one.  #limitededition

pretty sure that's blood to the upper right

 

[SayNoToDMC]

I'd probably have to eBay it like Mark Brunell. My credit is really bad. I'd like to wear it though, not sure how I vote.

ebay the real thing, and get a replica made and wear that one instead.

Have not seen that in awhile.   That was one of the exhibits my ex wife used in our divorce. 

[peebag]

I'd keep it then find Richard Todd and mock him with it.

[Larz]

starter who backed up in the SB win ?  yeah why not
