NFC East QB questions
This overview of the many question marks various NFL teams have points out that in the NFC East, only the Eagles are set at QB. The Giants still need a veteran for Eli Manning. The Cowboys have Quincy Carter and Drew Henson. Henson may be the QB of the future, but it's hard to believe he'll be ready to start this season. The Redskins have Mark Brunell and Patrick Ramsey. Brunell seemed to be losing his stuff when he lost his starting job and we'll have to see if he can buy it back with the 43 million dollars the redskins are giving him.
The most annoying (and dumbest) article I've read today is very misleadingly titled "Coughlin's Playbook" but has nothing to do with football plays. Instead, it's all about the spat between Coughlin, a few Giants, and the players association. The bit about Strahan and Barber being in danger of getting cut for salary cap reasons was interesting (but wrong for Barber if he stops fumbling and wrong for Strahan is he plays at the same level he always has). The line about not watching games because the off-field politics was more interesting earned this article my "most annoying" label. Subscription required to read this drudgery.
