Current Quarterback Controversies

what's wrong w/the 3-4

[/ QUOTE ]

If this is RE: the Jets, it's because our best defensive players are better suited to playing the 4-3, and are getting crushed right now.

is there really anyone who seriously thinks brad johnson will take a snap this season unless there's a romo injury?

[PokerFink]

nation,

No. You can leave Romo on your fantasy team. Relax.

I completely agree with this. You also have to count in how many quarterbacks have been ruined in Cleveland the fear of that also happening to Quinn. Examples, Couch and Frye. These guys have both developed what I like to call the "Sack Fear" largely in part to our lack of an O-line for the last 7 years. I was at the first game vs. Pittsburgh and it was disgusting watching Frye. Winslow and Edwards were running around with no coverage and Frye was so [censored] scared of the impending sack he couldn't even see them (which is why I completely supported the trade.)

The line isn't the same at all right now. First game was bad, but Steinbeck missed all of preseason, Tucker was out and another guy (name escapes me at this point) missed two weeks. The game against New England wasn't great, but 3 sacks isn't terrible against that Defense, and only 1 sack in the other three games this year protection has been really solid. I wouldn't let fears of the offensive line keep Brady out of the game. DA has been... acceptable, he still makes to many bad decisions and doesn't have good accuracy. Its clear that Quinn is going to get the nod at some point, personally I'd like to see him against Miami, have the bye week to digest things then St Louis and Seattle before the Pittsburgh and Baltimore games.

Harrington vs. Leftwich: Gotta be Leftwich. The Falcons are going nowhere this year, and we already know that Joey Harrington will never be more than pretty good backup (if that). Leftwich still has a chance to be a good NFL starter, so you may as well give him some reps in your offense and see what you've got.

Who cares about senior-league football? Let's talk SRS BSNS:

Chad Pennington is terrible. His throws look like dead ducks.

And I can't believe they pulled Harrington last week for Leftwich. Harrington was playing fine. What amkes it funnier is that they would never pull Vick all those years.

vix,

Bledsoe could come in and be a better qb than either of them, but that doesn't mean he should start next week.

Holy [censored], I just watched the Falcons-Titans game on replay and Joey Harrington literally threw like ten live balls in a row in the third quarter, any one of which could have been picked off. He made Tony Romo's game look good.
