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

Brett Favre out, Donovan McNabb in?

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.

The BCS Championship Game will be played in about a month and the NCAA sportsbook experts, or odds makers, are taking that into account when they set the lines for the game. As good as the Tide looked against the Gators last week, if the title game was being played this week, we would anticipate at least a 7 point favor towards Alabama. But with a few extra weeks to prepare, the game is not as easy to predict as the teams normally look much more prepared. At this time, BetUs.com, one of the top USA online sportsbooks has Alabama as 5 point favorites over the Longhorns.

#7 BYU at FSU today

When the BYU Cougars upset the Oklahoma Sooners in Week 1, many thought that the matchup against Florida State was a pretty big deal and one that has a lot at stake. But with the Seminoles loss to Miami on Labor Day, BYU faces an unranked FSU team.
Florida State followed up their loss to the Hurricanes with a dismal performance against Jacksonville State where the Noles did not get the job done until the final minute of the game – that was almost a 0-2 start. We watch Miami destroy Georgia Tech this Thursday and it looks like the Canes are for real. Thier QB is lighting up the scoreboard and their defense is incredibly fast. This will be an interesting year for the Canes, although they have some very tough games coming up – with Virginia Tech next week.
We think the Noles have something to prove this week and anticipate the defense finally stepping up their performance and actually covering some receivers this week. FSU needs to get the ball in the air, and not throw behind the line of scrimmage 50% of the time – use the famous slant of 10-12 yards that we use to use to tear up the competition.
