What about Julius Peppers, Roy Williams (SS), Dwight Freeney, Jeremy Shockey, Javon Walker and Ed Reed?
Oh yeah, and Portis in the 2nd round?

That's funny.

But they never played QB in college, did they?

Except when fans think that their team is winning in spite of you, rather then because of you. The Bears last year during Rex Grossmans second half collapse is an example of that.

In only applies when people feel it applies.
Vince Young sucked today, but will get props for "winning". He did his best to lose, and he will get credit for the win. Sad. Grossman led a team to the super bowl and he's considered one of the worst QB's in the league.

983 yards, 4tds, 2ints, and a 71.2% comp %. 98.2 QB rating.
He's 9th in yards, and 4th in comp%. He's 10th in 1st downs for qb's,

He's one of the hottest QB's in football. 584yards and 4 td's in last 2 games.

He got benched for Leftwich, who's not making me proud to be a DC native. I picked him up on my fantasy team but started JC. Harrington will be on waivers faster than Leftwich eats a sandwich.

Well the Harrington era appears to be coming to a close in Atlanta

ESPN - Struggling Falcons insert Leftwich as starting QB - NFL

dmek25 · 10-17-2007, 09:20 PM

yeah, i think he pretty much played his way out of this league

It would have been nice to see hiim succeed but I wasn't particularly confident he would. On the flip side, if the offensive line is taking some of the blame then why switch to Leftwich? He can't move around any more than Harrington. Atlanta is well no their way to the #1 spot which means Petrino will have be able to get his boy Brohm. Probably isn't a bad move, either. Make some "critical decisions" that appear as an attempt to jumpstart the team but in reality it really just prevents the team from winning very many games, which in turn enables them to draft the franchise QB that helped the head coach land his NFL gig in the first place.

I wonder if Brohm is going to get the Brady Quinn treatment. Ya know, the old "his defense was bad and cost him games, so he's not first pick material."

Probably not since he didn't go to Notre Dame, but you never know.

It could really shake up the draft order if say Andre Woodson goes first overall because he wins a bowl game over like USF or someone. Of course this isn't a great comparison because Woodson is way more deserving of the first selection than Russell was a year ago, but that was the first situation that came to mind.

Brohm has been money for three years now, and has earned the right to be the first QB off the board. Once the media machine gets going, I just worry that this kid is gonna get chewed up and spit out.

I have always liked Joey but i think he is only a solid QB and not a superstar QB

SouperMeister · 10-18-2007, 01:28 AM

Watching other teams play the musical quarterbacks game that we played for years makes me grateful to have Campbell. He will only get better, and the Skins are set at QB for the next decade.

Poor leftwich...he's entering a terrible situation! That O line sucks in Atlanta, he can't possibly be very productive.
