Taking a look at the current depth chart, the only quarterbacks the Jets have signed right now are Kellen Clemens, Chad Pennington and Brett Ratliff. Do the Jets plan to go into the season with Ratliff as their third-string quarterback? Probably not. He’ll likely be on the practice squad for another season as long as [...]
Quarterback Brett Favre announced his retirement formally in a press conference at the Lambeau Field last Thursday. By announcing his retirement, Favre ended his 17 year stint at the NFL and was considered to be the most exciting signal callers in the annals of NFL football. His career record stands at 61,555 yards, 160 wins, [...]
A successful 2008 season could depend on the play of the team’s quarterback position. (Chad Pennington or Kellen Clemens) Both players were given excuses for their horrible play in 2007, due to an inconsistant offensive line. With the additions of Alan Faneca and Damien Woody, that should not be a [...]
After 17 good years of playing on the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, quarterback Brett Favre finally decided to retire from the game. The Packers retired quarterback told ESPN today in quote, “I know I can still play, but it's like I told my wife, I'm just tired mentally. I'm just tired.” The legendary three-time MVP has achieved many goals in his career, including over several league records and, this year, setting the most career touchdown passes in the NFL. Just last season, Favre broke Dan Marino‘s career record or most yards in passing and John Elway’s record for most career victories. He also led the Packers to the championship game in January, unfortunately throwing an interception in overtime to give the New York Giants the winning field goal.After giving the news to the world,
Everyone defines greatness a different way. Some define greatness through records. Some define it through championships. When you think of great quarterbacks some that come right to mind are Unitas, Montana, Marino, Bradshaw, Starr, Staubach, Elway, Farve, Manning, and, whether you love him or you hate him, Brady. On Sunday, Tom Brady has a chance to do what none of the quarterbacks on that list have done, and that is go undefeated. Some already say Brady is the greatest postseason quaterback of all-time and his resume defends that argument very well. Three Super Bowl rings, an undefeated record at home in the playoffs, and two Super Bowl MVPs. Not to mention he is the leader of what might go down as the best football team to ever step on a football field. Not bad for a sixth round draft p
Jets head coach Eric Mangini was asked in yesterday’s press conference who his starting quarterback will be against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Mangini on quarterback situation…
“We’ve got to see where Kellen is in terms of the injury. Kellen has done a lot of good things and there are a lot of things that he’s still growing into and learning about with experience. That’s common with any young player.”
…It makes entirely no sense to play Chad if Clemens is healthy anyway. Of course you’re going to play for the win every week, but letting your quarterback of the future develop is the main goal right now it seems, though he won’t say that. I can’t see Mangini turning back to Pennington with a healthy enough Clemens on the bench…
Rosenfels made three amazing touchdowns in the fight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which ended up with the Texans' victory 28-14 even despite Rosenfels's loss in two fumbles. In fact, Rosenfels has won both games he’s started in place of the injured Matt Schaub. Rosenfels had two touchdown passes of 4 yards and one for 8, and Andre Davis added a score on a 97-yard kickoff return. The quarterback finished 27-of-36 for 209 yards.
Jets head coach Eric Mangini named Chad Pennington the starting quarterback for this week’s game against the Buffalo Bills in his press conference today.
…And the madness continues…
The first bye week brings about perfect timing for a list of backup QB’s to start Sunday’s games. In a fantasy league with quarterback depth it kinda sucks to see that one of your starters isn’t playing Sunday because his (or her… Drew Brees) team has the week off. Luckily a bunch of starters have had their guts pounded by opposing defenses, or suck ass (Sexy Rexy) and they are riding the pine. It has been a nutty year for starting QB’s, time to take advantage.
Best Possible Pickups:
Daunte Culpepper- Likely already owned in your league, he will be replacing Josh McCown who has an injured toe (translation: Josh McCown is a pussy). McCown left Sunday’s game to cheers as Daunte, the crowd’s preferred starter, walked onto the field. This is an opportunity for Culpepper to take and mount the starting role and burn Miami’s secondary.
Brian Griese- The Rex Factor has FINALLY been benched. Chicago’s defense can’t carry his fat-ass w
Former Morgan Park star Demetrius Jones, who started at quarterback in the Notre Dame season-opener but subsequently lost the job to Jimmy Clausen, was granted his release Sept. 21 to play for any team that will not be an opponent of Notre Dame during the course of his eligibility, which runs through 2010.
He's expected to enroll at Northern Illinois University, where he allegedly has attended class (the NCAA requires that transfer students attend school by the 12th day of classes in order to be eligible to play the following season).

By Mike Lopresti, Gannett News Service Mama, don’t let your babies grow up to be Rex Grossman … OK, quarterbacks get the money. The fame. The commercials. Peyton Manning has endorsed everything but Viagra (check back on that one in a few years). If the government wanted to really raise money, it shouldn’t sell lottery tickets but auction off the chance to be Tom Brady for one day. Or maybe one night. But there are two occasions when it can’t feel good to be a quarterback. One is when the more…
Here is my list of the top 5 ff quarterback starters for week 1. These guys should score well this week.Peyton Manning vs. New Orleans Saints - Last time Peyton played NO he put up 6 TDs.Drew Brees @ Indianapolis Colts - This one has the makings of a shootout.Donovan McNabb @ GB Packers - 2 passing TDs and 2 rush TDs against Pack last year.Tony Romo vs. New York Giants - Post-Parcels Cowboys could score more this year.Jon Kitna @ Oakland - Martz will unleash the passing game in week 1 with Kevin Jones out.
By Don Alexander Just WIN baby! Will the Lions ever win? Will they ever win? YES! The Detroit Lions will WIN a Super Bowl again and they will always be my favorite team. Why? I just love them. I love the fans, the atmosphere, and of course Thanksgiving Day turkey and my Detroit Lions. I have been a Lion fan now 31 years so I have a few insights into this up and coming team.In this article I will be sharing how the Detroit Lions can turn their franchise around, and my hope and prayer is that someday it will make it's way up to the Ford Family's home and that they will read it and act on it to make the Detroit Lions a championship team.First of all, we need a good quarterback. In the 30 years I've watched the lion, we've NEVER had a great quarterback. I'll say it again, we've NEVER had a great quarterback. Sure we've had good quarterbacks like Rodney Peete, to name one, but to be honest with you I've blotted out most quarterbacks' names from my memory because they all made so ma
Is there a quarterback controversy on the Jets? It depends on who you ask.
Eric Mangini: NY Daily News
“No, not at all,” Mangini said. “I’m very comfortable with that decision. I think Chad’s had an outstanding camp. There were a couple of throws that he would like to have back, that I’d like him to have back, but he’s a good decision-maker. No, I’m really comfortable with that decision.”
Chad Pennington: The Star Ledger
“That’s out of my control,” Pennington said yesterday after a 2 1/2-hour practice at Hofstra University. “I feel good with how I’ve been able to progress in the offense. If I start worrying about stuff like that, I’m not going to be able to perform out here and compete every day. … Everything isn’t going to be perfect in the preseason. … You chalk it up as a learning experience and you move on. That’s kind of how I look at it, really.”

The news is coming in that Mike Vick will plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, meaning that he's definitely looking at jail time right now. "After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him," lead defense attorney Billy Martin said in a statement."Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter."So yes, Vick is literally and figuratively screwed now as he'll learn a different meaning for the term "quarterback scramble". But this has made me think what a rough couple of months it has been for Falcons quarterbacks.Matt SchaubSchaub had been rotting away on Atlanta's bench, hearing from everyone around him that he should be a starter somewhere in the NFL a
By Rick Bedard The Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League are a fan favorite franchise. They have been a success on the field, playing at a consistently high level, since joining the league as an expansion team in 1960. In addition to their great success on the field, “America’s Team” has been just as successful off the field and is considered to be one of the most valuable sports teams in North America. At the heart of the Cowboys great success on the field are the individuals who have contributed to the play. Endless players have donned the single star and blue and white jerseys of the Dallas Cowboys and taken to the field at Texas Stadium. Through its franchise history, the Dallas Cowboys have had a number of all-stars whose skills and achievements have contributed to Dallas Cowboys history. In the process some of them, such as Bob Lilly, Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, and Emmitt Smith have become legends of the game. One of the most successful teams in the history of th
For those who know me, it’s no secret. Simply put, I like built guys. At 6′4 and 235 pounds of muscle, 22-year-old jock Brady Quinn (WATCH THE VIDEO!) fits the bill. Deep, brown eyes, muscular arms, a rippling torso AND a brain. What else could you ask for?

One of the most debated topics in fantasy football circles involves the drafting of quarterbacks. Everyone seems to have a differing opinion on this matter. Most hold fast to their philosophy, standing firm year after year. Others, although a group fewer in number, are more flexible, basing their opinion on that particular season's crop of quarterbacks. They, too, will have a game plan going into the draft and in nearly all cases will see it through to the end.What exactly are the schools of thought that these owners adhere to? Well, there are basically three:Grab a stud QB early, perhaps in rounds 1 or 2, but definitely by round 3. These owners will end up with players like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Carson Palmer, and Marc Bulger. Get some stud RBs and WRs first and then draft a QB in rounds 4, 5 or 6. Donovan McNabb, Matt Hassleback, Vince Young, and Jon Kitna will start for owners that choose this approach.Never draft a QB before round 7. These owners are content to st
If the Atlanta Falcons think that they can plug Joey Harrington into the role of starting quarterback and challenge for the NFC South title, they had better get back out of fantasy land. Harrington is a journeyman quarterback that has never really found much success in the National Football League, which is why he finds himself on his third team in as many years. He was the number 3 pick in the 2002 draft, and by all indications five years later he has never come close to reaching that potential. As a starter, Harrington has a 23-43 record in 66 starts and career quarterback rating of 68.1.
The Falcons are in a word “scrambling” to get their options at the quarterback position lined up as they get set to start training camp on Thursday. No more can they count on steady Matt Schaub, as he was shipped to the Texans in the offseason. When all the Michael Vick news broke, there was a rumor that Atlanta wanted Schaub back so bad they were offering Houston two number o

When something like this happens, it's probably time to disband the event:From Ultimate Jaguars:Quarterback Byron Leftwich returned to practice after missing last Thursday's session for the NFL Quarterback Challenge in the Cayman Islands. Leftwich said he wasn't sure where he finished and that Oakland's Josh McCown, who won, and San Francisco's Alex Smith were the only two quarterbacks with a chance to win entering the last event. Uh ... Josh McCown? Won? A quarterback skills event? Look out JaMarcus Russell?The competition will have its first airing on ESPN on Aug. 3.I'll put that on my calendar. Right after I decide to stop staring at sexy girls ... and breathing.
Quarterback Mitch Mustain, the 2005 Parade magazine prep player of the year, will sit on the sidelines and learn the USC offense this season (2007). The bad news is, in accordance with NCAA rules, after transferring to USC from Arkansas, he is required to sit out a year. The good news is he will still have three years of NCAA College Football eligibility left. If he would have transferred to a non-division I school he could have played immediately.Mustain has been through a lot in his short college football career. He started for Arkansas as a freshman and went undefeated, winning his first 8 games, but was then benched in favor of Casey Dick, even after a November win against South Carolina. Mustain completed 69 of his 132 passes for 894 yards. He also had 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions during his short tenure at Arkansas.The benching probably didn’t sit well with Mitch, and then, on top of that, his former high school coach at Springdale, Arkansas, Gus Malzahn, who was hired
I hope the Falcons are planning on giving Joey Harrington plenty of reps this fall in training camp. If Mike can't stay out of the news better than he has this off-season, Joey might be needed a bit more than they had hoped.From the AJC:A Web site associated with a Michael Vick company, MV7, LLC, professes to be in the business of breeding pit bulls and other dogs as pets not for fighting.I hope that THIS isn't where they are breeding them.
