I always thought Sorgi was a decent back up. The Colts never had to use him with anything on the line, but he did play the majority of 4 or 5 games at the end of seasons when the division or a playoff spot was wrapped up. ANd he won a couple of those games.

I always thought if Sorgi had been the back up instead of Painter in 2009, the team still might have gone 16-0. At least they had a much better chance of it happening than they would have as it was.

Also because of Sorgi, the Colts in 2004 threw more TDs as a team than the Pats in 2007, when Brady threw 50. Sorgi tossed two and Manning 49, so as a team it was 51 to Brady's 50 since he never sat out in their whiny "how dare you punish us for cheating Part I" year.

Well yeah, wouldn't any back up?

Anyone back up going in the game at that time would have been shocked.
