Quarterbacks. They get far too much positive attention when their teams win and far too much negative attention when their teams lose. That's why Joe Flacco is now a legend with the biggest contract in NFL history while Tony Romo and Philip Rivers toil to gain the favor of local fans despite the fact their […]

JaMarcus Russell was supposed to be wooing potential employers with a pro day this week, but those plans have been canceled according to Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Kevin Kolb was initially thought to be the successor to Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia, but that never panned out.

Starting quarterbacks aren't easy to find anywhere, let alone on the open market, which is why the Arizona Cardinals deserve some praise for at least landing a veteran with plenty of starting experience for nothing but a downgrade late in the draft. But can Carson Palmer help the talented but historically quarterback-deprived Cardinals make a […]
