This piece is clarifying the new third QB rule:


 

What is the NFL third quarterback rule?

 

● For a third, emergency quarterback to enter action on game day, he must be on the active 53-man roster. The player can't be on the practice squad.
● However, that quarterback does not have to be among the 47 or 48 players declared active for that game. If a club suits up eight offensive linemen, they only have to declare five inactives.
● If a club has two quarterbacks injured and/or disqualified in a game, the emergency quarterback can enter play.
● If either of the injured quarterbacks is cleared by the medical staff to return to play, the emergency third quarterback must be removed from the game.
● This is to prevent a situation such as the 49ers playoff game last year when San Francisco lost both of their healthy quarterbacks and there was no emergency rule in place.

● Last season, teams could have three quarterbacks on their 53-man roster. But he would have had to be among the game-day actives to enter play in emergency. Now, they don't have to be.

I hate the push. It needs to be looked at.

Ah, now we see the real reason Belichick's starting Mac.  Get him injured on a goal-line push play, he goes out, Bailey Zappe starts, push play gets banned.  Belichick's plan all makes sense now...
