Rookie QB's

Three first round rookie quarterbacks all great in their own ways. I'll start with my favorite and who I think will be best their first year. Josh Freeman, although the last taken of the three he goes to a good situation in Tampa Bay with Kellen Winslow, Antonio Bryant and Derrik Ward. Josh Freeman seems to be a mix of Tavaris Jackson and Big Ben. By that I mean he has a large frame and can pull it down and run ,but still has a big arm. Mark Sanchez is another good QB that goes to an interesting team. The Jets have a good offensive line, running back and defense ,but no receivers to throw to. So this may present problems for him. I think he will be best in a west coast style offense with short and intermediate routes. Last ,but not least is Matthew Stafford which has the franchise big arm and made a lot of starts in college in the SEC one of the best conferences in the NCAA. There is a couple problems he was in a simple offense in college, he has a horrible supporting cast other than Calvin Johnson, and he has a lot of pressure on him to resurrect the franchise. I think all three of these guys will create interesting stories their first year.

Brett Favre

Now here we go again with Brett Favre and you know that I gotta get my two cents in. All this comeback nonsense started when Favre said "As of now I'm retired," then the sparks flew. Then Favre made matters worse by asking the Jets to release him (after he retired presumably so he could retire as a packer). Well next thing you know people are saying that he asked to be released so that he could be the Vikings quarterback. Now most of the time I rely on The NFL Network for all my football needs, but on this Brett Favre story I think that it is being blown way out of proportion to fill in during a slow part of the off season. In my personal opinion he should retire and should be a first ballot hall of famer. Now if he does go to the Vikings and they do not do well or he gets injured I think he will severely tarnish his career because some people will remember as a frail old man than the legendary quarterback he is. I think when this is all said and done Tavaris Jackson will start for the Vikings, Brett Favre will retire and we'll forget this ugly mess.
