Break a leg (or a foot, or a hand!(backup quarterbacks)
When you're everybody's third quarterback, as Dave Dickenson is, you're in San Diego one day, Seattle the next, Miami a few weeks after, and, oh, my heaven, you're finally in sad-sack Detroit, there to work for a coach about to be fired, there wondering when the spinning wheel of fortune will stop on your number, which on every jersey this season has been 15.
"I just thought the other day, I ought to get my jersey from each place," Dickenson says.
Certainly should. Hard enough to get one NFL quarterbacking job, let alone four in four months.
The bad news for the itinerant quarter-back: He never unpacks.
"I've been living in extended-stay motels, been renting cars everywhere, haven't seen my wife," Dickenson says.
The good news: A.J. Feeley.
"I'm glad for the guy. All I want is what he got, a chance to show I can play. If I ever get a shot, I'm sure I could do it."
- He wins, but can he play? Dickenson wants NFL job to keep.
