It is not even the Super Bowl yet, and interesting things are happening within the league. To begin, it is expected that Kurt Warner is to announce his retirement on Friday. Warner has suffered several concussions in the past seasons and we think he has decided it is time for him to retire. He is still one of the leagues better quarterbacks, and he lead the Cardinals to the Super Bowl last year, and the playoffs again this year. But with him gone, how are the Cardinals going to replace him. Can Matt Leinart step up and do the job? Leinart lost his only two starts this year. He has an overall passer rating at 70.4 and he has 14 career touchdown passes to his 20 interception. I think the Cardinals need to look at one of the new quarterbacks heading into the draft and maybe using their second round draft pick to choose someone like Jevan Snead or Tony Pike. Also, they definitely need to stay away from Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow. Seeing how unsuccessful Leinart is in the pros, and how successful he was in college, should make them think twice at picking a quarterback who had an unbelievable team around him, making him look better than he is.
The next topic is Vick. Vick wants to be a starter, and should be. He is too valuable and good not to be. So who picks him up- teams that are hurting in attendance, and/or teams that are hurting at the QB position. So- the Bills, Jags, Raiders, Rams, or the Chiefs. Personally, I would love to see Michael Vick and Jamaal Charles in the backfield together. It would be unbelievably entertaining. The Raiders might want him because well JaMarcus Russell is awful and Bruce Gradkowski did well, but he isn't going to take a team to the Super Bowl. The Bills have Edwards and Fitzpatrick- I'd rather have Vick. The Jags could use the attendance boost- and again Vick + Maurice Jones Drew would be lethal but David Garrart does a decent job back there. The Rams definitely might want to sign Vick. 1-15 for the year, and all they have is a one man team with Stephen Jackson who I admire because he runs so hard every game, despite the fact that he has no one to help him. The point is- who will land Vick- the Eagles do not plan on keeping him because they know he wants to start.
Holmgren, the new GM at the Browns was asked who was going to be his starter for next year- Anderson or Quinn? He said "I can not say, but whoever we choose we need to start putting in our resources now. I do not like that competition thing." I think they are going to choose Brady Quinn over Derek Anderson because Brady Quinn will be a solid quarterback in the NFL. Also, he is the choice by default because Anderson went 2 for 17 in a game this year. Furthermore, how can you build your Franchise around a QB who had 3 touchdowns to 10 interceptions, and an overall passer rating of 42.1. You Can't!
