QB Surprises!!

There was a lot of quarterback surprises this week, both good and bad. Below I break down the the good, the bad, and the ugly.


Let's first chat about the bad...
Donovan McNabb fractured his ribs Sunday in the 3rd quarter during the Carolina game. It is unknown at this time how long he will be out. The estimate currently is 2 weeks. That spells trouble for Ox4 who's #1 QB was Donovan.
Kurt Warner had a dismile performance during Sunday's game against the 49ers. It looks as though that hip surgery he had during offseason is affecting his performance, even though Arizona argues that he is alright. With only 288 yards and 1 TD with 2 INT's I would sit him this coming week considering he is going from West to East. I think his performance is only the beginning of bad performances.

2nd the ugly...
Matt Schaub had a terrible performance. One of the fantasy quarterbacks who is considered to be a top 5 pick if he would not get hurt did not perform like one. He only had 166 yards with 1 INT. It could possibly be his ankle injury that he suffered during the 2nd preseason game that his holding him back. He is looking like a terrible draft pick and needs to be replaced. As a fantasy owner, you will not win many games with him as your starting QB.

Jay Cutler looked embarrassing. He was touted as the Savior of the Bears. The franchise QB they have been looking for all these years. What does he return? A terrible performance of 277 yards, 1TD, and 4 INTs. That's right folks...4 INTs. I do not see him doing anything miraculous in Chicago, their best wide receiver is Hester, who is a kicker returner. And with the Steeler's coming up this week, it may get worse. I would be sitting him this week.

And because I like to end on a good note here is the good...
Joe Flacco had an amazing game. He put up a surprising 29 points in his 1st game of the season. He was not even drafted by the league. CapsLockItUp signed him on the waiver wire late last week. He seems like a good pickup if he can keep this up. I think he has more good games to come.

Mark Sanchez had a good game. His 1st Pro football game looked good. He did not show any signs of being a rookie. His numbers were good but I was impressed with how well he handled an INT for a touchdown (came back and drove them down the field for a touchdown) and the 2minute warning. I think he has a lot of upside.

**NOTE: I left the worst QB play out b/c I think it has already been talked about way more than any of us here in Carolina want to hear anymore.***
