Sage Rosenfels already had to deal with Brett Favre usurping his chance to be a starter in the NFL.

And now: this.

ESPN.com's main story this afternoon is about backup quarterbacks and the importance of having a good one. No argument there. Being the interactive leader that it is, ESPN also asks readers to rank the back up QBs in the league.

They give 25 options.

Tarvaris Jackson is listed.

Rosenfels is not.

And now a quarterback might be crying.
