Phearless Phred’s Deranged Comments - Regarding Week 6 of the NFL Season
“A QUARTERBACK, MY KINGDOM FOR A QUARTERBACK”
JASON CAMPBELL – Daniel Snyder probably trod on many people on his way to becoming a zillionaire, he didn’t just become an a..hole after he became an owner. But, to quote a line from “Diehard” – “Dan, boobie, it’s the quarterback.” Before you publically embarrass Zorn by taking away his play calling duties or before you publically engage in a search for the coach’s replacement you might consider recruiting a “real” QB.
MARK SANCHEZ – Week 6 stats for Mark read as follows: 10 of 19 for 119 yards, zero TD’s and 5 (FIVE) throws going to the enemy. The Jets coaching staff has announced that they are going simplify their offense for Sanchez. They figure if he doesn’t throw he can’t get picked. Not like USC huh?
JAKE DELHOMME – Lucky for Jake that Carolina was playing Tampa and lucky for Jake he has DeAngelo to hand the rock to, otherwise 9 of 17 for 65 big ones was not going to get it done.
KERRY COLLINS – I thought Derek Anderson’s week 5 stat line was the worse in the history of the NFL; 2 completions out of 17 attempts and 23 yards. But, Sunday Collins eclipsed that of the Browns QB. Collins was 2 of 9 for a minus 7 yards. What, was he throwing it backwards? I’ve always had a respect for Jeff Fisher, but Jeff, your season is over and at least one game overdue for Vince Young as the starter. Time to see if he really is your quarterback of the future. Collins has never been a quality NFL signal caller and just one look at him and you know there’s very little going on between the ear holes in his helmet.
DISHONORABLE MENTION
JAMARCUS RUSSELL – Perhaps the worse the league has to offer.
DAVID GARRARD – Schizophrenic.
TONY ROMO – Tune in for the latest meltdown.
DEREK ANDERSON – Maybe it’s the cast around him.
WILD KITTY CAT
I’m tired of all the hype surrounding the “wildcat” offense. You would think it’s the greatest innovation in the game since the forward pass. It seems to me to be just a variation of the single wing without the leather helmets.
GREAT LINE
The NFL has often stood for the NO FUN LEAGUE but now someone suggested perhaps NFL really stands for NOT FOR LIMBAUGH.
WHAT???
How can you go from beating up on the Jags 41/zip to losing to Arizona 27/3? Hasselbeck’s stats were 10 of 29, that’s a 37.5 completion percentage, for 112 yards. But, I suppose when your alternative is Seneca Wallace you have to go with it.
Dante Wesley’s (the Carolina safety) hit on the Tampa punt returner Clifton Smith drew an immediate ejection. The what here is that it resulted in only a one game suspension. The league makes all kinds of noise about protecting players, you can’t even sneer at Tom Brady for fear his psyche will be injured, but Wesley’s uncalled for hit on a totally vulnerable player was a clear intent to injure. The Panther safety should be sitting perhaps for the balance of the season.
Pat coach Bellyache pulled Brady and let his backup QB mop up. Leading 59 to nil over the Titans, Brian Hoyer was not just handing off he was still throwing – 9 for 11 and still trying to score. Running up the score doesn’t belong in college football and it sure doesn’t belong in the pros.
SUPER BOWL XLVIII
Commish
Roger Goodell reportedly wants to schedule multiple games in the UK. Is he also toying with the idea of having Super Bowl XLVIII at the Afghan Stadium in Islamabad? Roger, this is AMERICAN football! What do we get back, competitive crumpet eating and team suicide bombing?
Philadelphia 3 Oakland 13! How many suicide pools did that destroy?
Good watching,
