What's Really Wrong With Philip Rivers

If you have seen NFL football this season you have noticed that there are several things that are just unexplainable this season. The quarterback position has usually been dominated by the same handful of guys but for some reason, a few of the elite quarterbacks are struggling this season. However, none are struggling more than Philip

The Myth of The Franchise Quarterback

According to Wikipedia, a franchise player is an athlete who is not simply the best player on their team, but a player that the team can build their "franchise" (team) around for the foreseeable future. The misunderstanding that a franchise player is only "the best player on a team" disregards the fact that an inordinately bad team will undoubtedly still employ a player with superior skills, relative to his team. However, such a player could be so bad in comparison to players at large that labeling such a player a franchise player would be inappropriate. It is an elite status, but it is not necessarily a singular position; a large team such as an American football team might have a few franchise players at different positions. The term may be used alongside a particular position name to describe a player, such as a "franchise quarterback".

There seems to be a lot of arguing about the impact of a franchise quarterback and their importance to the team along experts and analysts. Everyone seems to think that a franchise quarterback is necessary to win championships. I agree to a certain extent, but lets not get all caught up in this quarterback mystique. Let’s look at who people argue is the best quarterback in the game. Peyton Manning has been without a doubt the most consistent dynamic quarterback of his generation. Manning however only has won one super bowl in his career.

If you look across the league, the quarterback position is important, but good teams have two things in common; they run the ball and they play good defense. No disrespect to the quarterback position, but teams that have won the Super Bowl has all had very good running attacks in the big game. Look at the one Super Bowl that Manning won. It was a game dominated by Dominic Rhodes. Even when you look at some of the elite quarterbacks that won the championship,

Why Being Cheap May Cost the Chargers a Chance

I think there is a very slim chance that the Chargers will sign unrestricted free agents Vincent Jackson and Marcus McNeill. I even doubt that they will play a down for the Chargers at all this year. As unrestricted free agents they can sit 10 games. This would open up negotiations but they would both most likely only earn about $189,000.00 by playing the last six games so I doubt they would want to do that since they would both be ticketed for free agency in 2011 and neither would want to risk injury.

The Chargers have done their share of cost cutting this off season. The let long time running back LaDainian Tomlinson, nose guard Jamal Williams and cornerback Antonio Cromartie go to save some cash. You can arguably say they let a hall of fame running back, the fifth best corner in the league, and the second best nose guard in the league go without any real compensation.

2010 BCSOM Fantasy Football Draft Guide - Quarterbacks

Fantasy football is very easy to play and the variety of systems and sites provide everything you need to get started. Fantasy football lets you try your skills as a fantasy coach. I suggest joining a random public league if this is your first time playing, rather then joining your friends in a league and being the butt of all jokes.

To join a public league all you need to do is go to one of the many fantasy football sites and sign up. Here are a few suggestions of popular fantasy football sites: FleaFlickerYahoo Fantasy FootballESPN Fantasy FootballMSN Fantasy Football

After you join a league, you scout for and draft players, compete against other fantasy coaches, and use all your skills to make it to the playoffs. This is where I come in. I am going to help you figure out who you should draft based on where you are picking. These picks are for traditional scoring leagues which do not give points for receptions. Today we will take a look at the quarterbacks.
