Monday Morning G.M.

How the mighty have fallen....just two years ago Shaun Alexander was ripping up the NFL as the best running back in the league....today, he looks like an old worn out workhorse who does not have the drive or desire to once again become an elite back.....

New England showed why they are the best team in the NFL....after trailing 24-21 early in the third quarter, Tom Brady and company kicked it up another level in order to put away Dallas....this was done without the service of their number 1 running back Laurence Maroney and limited playing time from his back-up Sammy Morris....Tom Brady is the league MVP.....

While he was the starting quarterback, Rex Grossman was taking the heat in Chicago....but since he has been benched, the Bears are 1-2....the blame cannot be put on his replacement Brian Griese who has played well....the blame should be laid on the most over-rated defense in the last 10 years.....the same media wonks who were hellbent on crucifying Grossman should now go after the Bears defense with the same vengeance....

Is Marvin Lewis’ job in jeopardy in Cincinnati?....he has lifted the franchise out of the doldrums of 4-12 seasons, but since their supposed breakthrough season, 2 years ago, the Bengals have regressed....a team of their talent should not be 1-4.....the Bengals need to be more business-like in their approach.....

The Cleveland Browns are on a bye this coming week and it was supposed to be the time that the team would transition Brady Quinn into the starting quarterback position.....but with Derek Anderson’s recent play, it looks like that timetable has been pushed back - possibly to very late this season or even next year....

Indianapolis will be going into a hornet’s nest when they travel to Jacksonville next Monday night.....

It’s unbelievable to think that Vinny Testaverde is still a starting quarterback at his age....this is not a knock on Vinny, but do you mean there are no other serviceable quarterbacks in the entire country who are still in their 30s?....

What ever happened to former Cincinnati quarterback "The Throwin Samoan" Jack Thompson?

It's absolutely blew my mind to think that Vinny would be starting, less than a week after he was picked up. And the considering that he actually performed well... the NFL is mind boggling sometimes.
