The quarterback who got away is finally coming to Miami to play Sunday. Drew Brees will play the Dolphins for the first time since they courted him as a free agent in 2006. He has since thrown for 15,310 yards and 101 scores for the New Orleans Saints, while the Dolphins are on their seventh starting quarterback and third coach in the past four seasons. The Saints outbid the Dolphins, then coached by Nick Saban. New Orleans offered Brees $10 million guaranteed even though he was recovering... Read Full Story
Matthew Stafford won the Lions' quarterback derby. Daunte Culpepper didn't lose the job. That's what Detroit's new coach, Jim Schwartz, emphasized Monday when he made the No. 1 overall draft pick the starter for Sunday in New Orleans, when the Lions try to win for the first time in 21 months. "I've had a lot of very tough decisions in the last few days — guys making the 53-man roster or not making it — but none more difficult than at quarterback," he said. "We announced to our team this... Read Full Story
The Detroit Lions will start number one draft pick Matthew Stafford at quarterback in their National Football League season opener on Sunday, coach Jim Schwartz said Monday. Schwartz said it was a tough decision to go with rookie Stafford over veteran Daunte Culpepper and third option Drew Stanton for a game in which the Lions will be trying not only to open the season on a positive note but also to capture their first victory in 21 months. "I've had a lot of very tough decisions in the last... Read Full Story

From the FanPosts, bumped up to be the morning post. -Chris
After the 34-10 debacle the Chiefs suffered at the hands of the Tennessee Titans, it appears that the Chiefs have decided to start reorganizing the roster ...the most important news of which appears to be that the Kansas City Chiefs have contacted retired quarterback Daunte Culpepper (although a signing does not appear imminent) and will be bringing former Tampa QB Bruce Gradkowski in today for a workout.

Matt Stafford has gotten the hazing this week that any No. 1 pick would expect from his veteran teammates. The Detroit Lions quarterback also has gotten something more important: their respect. "I've never been on a team where we drafted a quarterback in the first round, much less with the first pick," defensive end Eric Hicks said. "So far, he's more than lived up to the hype — he's been very impressive." That didn't stop Hicks from getting in one verbal shot on his newly wealthy... Read Full Story
By MJD Danks mentioned on the podcast this morning that the best quarterback who currently calls Detroit home could well be Allen Iverson. At first, I chuckled. Then I thought about it and the chuckling stopped. This could actually be true. Now, maybe I'm wrong. It could be an absolutely absurd notion. But we're not talking about just any guy off the street here, we're talking about one of the world's finest athletes. And we're not talking about just any team with bad quarterbacks, we're...
