In another, Pace could simply become a backup if he is not ready to take over starting duties.

After returning to the backup role in 1983, Plunkett again assumed starting duties, this time after an injury to Wilson.

He was selected from among 51 candidates and did not start full-time duties until January 1967 and his starting salary was $18 000.

Both went down with injury later in the season, which prompted third-choice Yosu's promotion to starting duties for 11 contests.

He had shared starting duties with Jim Plunkett for most of the previous four seasons.

Joe Ayoob took over starting duties for Longshore.

However, Osgood regained his stride and resumed starting duties in the playoffs.

In the 2009 season, Legace shared starting duties with Chris Mason to begin the season.

In 1961 he split starting duties with Babe Parilli.

After Baker suffered a season ending injury in May 2010, Paulino took over starting duties for the majority of the season.
