As other teams have found out over the years, Matt Leinart isn’t the answer. That’s the lesson the Buffalo Bills learned after giving him a shot last night against the Detroit Lions. To be fair to Leinart, he was completely underprepared to be thrown into the Bills’ lineup, and he wasn’t necessarily working with the […]

It's not just about the New England Patriots being the New England Patriots. Yes, I know you should never bet against that legendary Tom Brady-Bill Belichick duo, no matter how bleak things look. But I also believe the Patriots are destined to win the AFC East for the 10th time in 11 seasons merely because […]

Today, it was announced that the NFL and the former players suing the league for compensation and treatment of possible concussion related disorders. The league has agreed to spend $765 million, and the settlement would cover all former players, about 18,000 total, but the settlement is still subject to approval by a federal judge. The […]

The Dallas Cowboys are the new San Diego Chargers. By that, I mean, the Cowboys are a chronically underachieving team, but they’ve bought into the rebirth mantra that owner Jerry Jones has been preaching, and frankly, they should. The Cowboys play in a very competitive division, but it’s not necessarily the best in football. Every […]

I have a funny feeling about the Cincinnati Bengals this season, so much so that I'm thinking the long-time basement-dwellers could be on the verge of a Super Bowl run. I was recently asked to make an outside-the-box Super Bowl XLVIII prediction for another football publication, and I couldn't get the Bengals out of my […]

Sometimes in the NFL, you have to be at the right place at the right time. It seems Jets quarterback Matt Simms has positioned himself at just that perfect place at the perfect moment, and in doing so, he’ll have a game to show the New York Jets he can help the team. Simms, who […]

Aside from their overt dysfunction, the New York Jets are hardly a noteworthy team. They have a solid defense, but their offense lacks a triggerman that can make sound decisions and put the ball where it needs to go. Still, dysfunction is a good story line, and as it turns out, the Jets still haven’t […]

Comparisons between Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson should end after we mention that both are young, athletic quarterbacks capable of extending plays and buying themselves time. Boom. Done. Finished. That’s where comparisons should end, but naturally, the two quarterbacks are being compared more than ever following Terrelle Pryor’s most recent outing. […]

Braylon Edwards is now on the market after being cut by the New York Jets, but he’s likely going to garner significant interest from a number of teams around the league. Although he’s a chronic under-achiever in the NFL, he’s still good enough to improve many rosters around the league, and frankly, his services probably […]

When the Green Bay Packers brought in quarterback Vince Young, there were absolutely no expectations. Young was once a somewhat successful starting quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, but in recent memory, he had only made headlines by calling the Eagles a dream team at a time when he backed up Michael Vick. This is also […]

If you don’t have a quarterback in the NFL, you’re doomed. Period. If that statement remains true, there are already a number of teams doomed before the season even starts. Even though there are quarterbacks out there that could be brought in, teams need to do so now before it’s too late. Here’s a few […]

Just when it looked like Mark Sanchez had the Jets’ quarterback competition wrapped up, he may have been dealt a bad break, handing the job back to Geno Smith. Mark Sanchez exited the Jets’ game against the New York Giants after being hit by defensive tackle Marvin Austin with an apparent throwing-shoulder injury. Sanchez played […]
