Stockpiling quarterbacks: Green Bay figured that out a long time ago

Ty Detmer, Doug Pederson, Matt Hasselbeck, Aaron Rodgers. What do these four guys have in common besides being quarterbacks? All four of these guys backed up former Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre at some point in their career.

Not that Farve needed it. Favre owns the ironman streak for consecutive games played and did not miss a start for 17 years straight.

Patriots, Packers have easiest paths to Super Bowl XLVII

The NFL released team schedules on Tuesday and according to the strength of schedule for all 32 teams, the New England Patriots and the Green Bay Packers will have the two easiest schedules for the 2012 season.

Strength of schedule really doesn’t mean so much in terms of a team’s chances of making it to the Super Bowl since it is only an indicator of how many wins a team’s combined opponents had during the regular season of the previous year. The 2009 season was proof of that.

Alex Smith Lays Down the Law

The New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees is an attacker, a game-changer. In today’s NFL he represents the modern-day outlaw. A gunslinger who comes into your house guns blazing and steals a win.

Tim Tebow Will Never Measure Up

Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos has never had the measurables you expect from a quarterback drafted in the first round. He’s not very accurate, he has a slow delivery and his pocket presence leaves something to be desired.

Could Breaking the Passing Record Equal MVP for Drew Brees?

The last guy who broke the NFL’s single-season record for passing yards was also voted the leagues’ MVP. You know….some guy by the name of Dan Marino. Sadly New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees won’t be following in Marino’s footsteps in that regard.

A Quarterback's Body Language Speaks Louder Than Words

Actions speak louder than words and in Cam Newton’s case his body language during the fourth quarter of games speaks volumes. So much so that two of his teammates felt the need to talk to him about it. Newton speaking to the media a few days after their win against the Houston Texans had this to say:

Romeo Crennel Makes His Case For Chiefs’ Head Coaching Position

Did interim head coach Romeo Crennel outcoach Mike McCarthy or was the Kansas City Chiefs’ win over the Green Bay Packers the culmination of a perfect storm? That’s really hard to answer even after watching the game.

Quarterback Controversy in Indianapolis?

We so-called “media sharks” (I got called that in a response to one of my previous stories) will more than likely take a major hit on this one but this debate is too tantalizing not to dip my toe in the water. Archie Manning has stated that his son Peyton Manning and future number-one-overall draft pick, Andrew Luck, do not want to be teammates.
