    Starters typically don't play in the preseason finale, and Whitehurst is still "hurt."

    My hopes are that #2 will not matter - at all - this season.

    I guess it varies team to team. Elite players on other teams definitely won't be playing.

    Not sure what we have planned. I wouldn't mind seeing Mettenberger and Sankey getting the start along with our OL... basically all starters except for Locker.

    And the defense obviously needs some work too.

    Yeah, that's the hope. But I wouldn't bet more than a single shiny nickel that we won't need the #2 for at least one game this season. And as we know all too well, one game can end up being the difference in a playoff berth.

    As for who is #2, I think you gotta ask yourself who could actually win you games if needed. Or perhaps more importantly, who won't lose them. I love what I've seen from Mett, but I'm honestly not super-confident in either one of them. He's still a rookie and has been mistake-prone in the preseason. And as has already been said, we already know what Whitehurst is.... a career backup. And not even a particularly good one at that.

    Personally I think Whisenhunt will roll with Whitehurst as the #2 if healthy, at least officially. But if Locker were to get knocked out for a significant period of time, I think there's no doubt it's Mettenberger who we'll eventually be seeing in the starting lineup.

    Totally agree. I would absolutely love to see what Mett and Sankey can do behind our #1 O-line and against some #1's even if just for a little while.

    Looking forward to seeing what Mett can do even more, But Clipboard jesus really hasn't underperformed, though. but Mett will probably be the starter before the end of the season, I think.
