Brady Quinn next to be on the way out in Cleveland?

March 12th, 2010

Yesterday the Cleveland Browns decided to part ways with former Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Anderson after he had his worst season with the Browns. When the NFL off-season came around for the Cleveland Browns, which was at about midseason as they were one of the worst teams in the league, there were a lot of rumors flying around on what was going to happen with the quarterback situation. Back in 2007, the Cleveland Browns looked like one of the most promising young NFL teams in the league as they had Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Anderson behind center and up and coming wide receiver Braylon Edwards. As a result, the Brown won 10 games and looked like a team with a very bright future, but the success was short lived and the team slipped slowly back into mediocrity in 2008.

With Derek Anderson quickly turning into nothing more than a mediocre quarterback and no longer had the ability to get the job done for the Browns behind center after having a Pro Bowl season, Cleveland gave young quarterback Brady Quinn a shot as the starter.

Unfortunately, even though the Brady Quinn was thought to be the future face of the franchise, he just couldn’t live up to expectations and now seems to be on his way out of Cleveland.

The day before Derek Anderson was released from the Cleveland Browns, a trade was made bringing backup Seattle Seahawks quarterback Seneca Wallace to Cleveland. As a result, the Browns released Anderson to avoid paying a roster bonus and his large salary for next season.

The debate seemed to be over on which quarterback was getting the boot in Cleveland, at least until Wednesday when reports have surfaced stating that the Browns are actively shopping Brady Quinn.

Kurt Warner to possibly announce retirement on Friday

January 28th, 2010

There have been a lot of great NFL quarterbacks in the history of the league that have just stayed in the pros for far too long and as a result all their fans were able to witness their once favorite quarterback slowing, but surely become nothing more than an old man behind center. Occasionally in the NFL we have seen somewhat of fairy tale ending for great NFL quarterbacks like the Denver Broncos John Elway who ended his hall of fame NFL career with two straight Super Bowl titles. Elway couldn’t have ended his career with the Broncos any better and as a result many people believe he is up there in the “Best QB of All-Time” category. Then there other quarterbacks greats like Joe Montana, who is without a doubt one of the All-Time great QBs, but after his unbelievable career with the San Francisco 49ers, where he won four Super Bowl title and two NFL MVPs, Montana ended his hall of fame career with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Joe Montana played pretty well for the Chiefs with another aging hall of famer in running back Marcus Allen, but fell short in the AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills. The next season was somewhat of a disappointment as the Chiefs made the playoffs, but lost in the AFC Wildcard game to the Miami Dolphins.

Needless to say, Montana was unable to go out on top and retired from the game in a different uniform.

This season we have two future hall of fame quarterbacks on the verge of retirement in the Minnesota Vikings Brett Favre and the Arizona Cardinals Kurt Warner. Both of these legendary quarterbacks had exceptional seasons and were able to lead their teams into the playoffs once again, but weren’t able to reach the Super Bowl and now are contemplating retiring from the game.

There is always a lot of drama and waffling with Brett Favre which I am sure will go on all throughout the offseason, but Kurt Warner has already set a deadline for himself which is this Friday.

This Friday Kurt Warner will hold a press conference and announce his intentions for the upcoming season and whether or not he will finally call it quits.

Personally, I believe Warner can still play and if he came back for one last season the Arizona Cardinals will have good chance of a competing for a Super Bowl, but I can’t remember a time when a player called a press conference to announce he was coming back.

Brett Favre out, Donovan McNabb in?

January 27th, 2010

Sunday’s NFC Championship game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings was sloppy to say the least with fumble after fumble after fumble, but despite all the turnovers and sloppy play, these two teams battled all the way into overtime where the Saints came out on a top and will advance to the Super Bowl against the Indianapolis Colts in Miami next month. Now the Brett Favre saga will begin once again with the questions on whether he will hang them up or strap them on for one more season. Personally, I believe Favre should come back for one more season with the Minnesota Vikings because he still has it and the Vikings could get to the Super Bowl with one more go around, but reports seem to have Favre once again leaning towards retirement, especially after getting pretty roughed against the Saints where he was noticeably hurt and limped off the field at one point.

Well, as of right now we can consider Brett Favre retired. So with that being said who will come in and fill some his enormous shoes and be able to repeat his performance next season.

So far there has only been one name at come up and that is the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb.

This season was a somewhat successful one for Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia Eagles as they played very well in the regular season, but fell short in their last two games against the Dallas Cowboys. Since those losses to the Cowboys there has been a lot of speculation what will happen at the quarterback position as the Eagles have three quarterbacks that could easily be starters somewhere else in the NFL next season.

Michael Vick will pretty much control his own fate as he has the option to stay in Philly or try and become a starter like he was for the Atlanta Falcons. A few teams have already been mentioned in the hunt for Vick like the Oakland Raiders, Buffalo Bills and the Carolina Panthers. Even though Vick seems to have suitors, he did say he would love to come back to the Eagles next season even if it is as the backup once again.

Then there is youngster Kevin Kolb who played well in his limited time this season and showed he could very well be a starter in this league. With these three quarterbacks the Eagles would be wise to trade one of them and the Philly faithful seem to be leaning towards getting rid of McNabb and the Minnesota Vikings would be a good fit for the veteran quarterback.

According to the general manager, Eli Manning is really worth the contract and is a valuable player who is capable of performing consistently, even under intense media pressure. Before Eli Manning scored such a golden deal, it was the cornerback from Oakland Raiders, Nnamdi Asomugha had the highest income on an annual average. It was at $15.1 million per season. He had a three year deal which was worth $45.3 million dollars.

Reggie Wayne shows up for Colts Training Camp in Dump Truck

August 6th, 2009

Hey everyone, we just wanted to show all you NFL buffs who may not have seen this yet just how cool Reggie Wayne is. Always a top 5 receiver every year, Wayne doesn’t get the attention he sometimes deserves becuase he’s not as loud or flamboyant as OchoCinco or a few others. Anyway, it’s pretty funny.
