NFL Update: Keeping guns out of kids hands, mediocre quarterbacks of the streets..err.field

On an obviously slow news day, or perhaps just to remind us in case we drank away half our brain cells this holiday weekend; Matt Leinart ( and Alex Smith) are NOT, I repeat, NOT good NFL quarterbacks. At All, end of story. Fortunately for us ( and the teams they play for) neither of them are starting for their respective teams this season.


Matt perhaps wouldn't feel so bad if he actually sat down and watched tape of his less than mediocre playing. Poor arm strength, slow feet, and sloppy play does not a starting QB make. There's always 'Dancing with the Stars' Matt, or perhaps a slot on the 98 degrees revival tour!

The Cleveland Browns feel as though they dodged a bullet, and that speeding bullet was a premature forced start to a "Brady Quinn Era". Having QB #1 Derek on the sidelines for the past few weeks with a concussion, the Brown were beginning to fear they would actually HAVE to PLAY the quarterback they went out of their way to draft during what could have only been a blackout due to carbon monoxide poising or something. So the Browns resorted to forcing Anderson back into practice, concussion be damned. With signs pointing to Anderson's return, the Browns still have a glimmer of hope at a successful season. And Brady Quinn can go back to keeping his legs in tip top tights shape.
