so who will be your backup QB?

all i was looking at last night for leftrich vs dixon, those two were playing for a spot in the roster, but caus of a LB going on IR, looks like we can have 4 QB's (if you count batch)

yeah if Moore is injured, our QB situation becomes scary. Basanez would become our #2, and we have no number 3. so...hopefully moore is good or we'll be signing someone.

Moore's x-ray was negative...so that's good news.

Matt Moore went to high school here. So did Kyle Boller.

And did you guys hear that Chad Johnson is legally changing his last name to Ocho Cinco, so he can have that written on the back of his jersey? I love this guy.

the Redskins were the last team (and only team, i think) to ever win a super bowl after going 0-4 in preseason, and that was in 1982

omg, i think this describes how the fans feel about steelers. latest vote on their website:

What is the Steelers strength heading into the 2008 season?
27% - Running Game
24% - Passing Attack
28% - Run Defense
2% - Pass Defense
1% - Special Teams
15% - Veteran Experience

17184 Total Votes

so about 200 people think our special teams is good, and 500 think we are good at defending the pass. now i duno about our pass def, but i knw how much we suck at special teams, and that vote proves the other fans feel the same as i do

Daunte Culpepper tells Adam Schefter he will retire from the NFL effective immediately

thats what you get when you cant find work

EDIT: theres more, here is his "offical" letter, sent to adam schefter

quote:
Daunte's email to Schefter:

Adam,
Since I do not have a team where I can do a press conference, I chose to write what I would have said. You are the first to get this.
– Daunte

Farewell NFL

When free agency began this year, I had a new sense of excitement about continuing to rebuild my career in the same way that I had rebuilt my knee after my catastrophic injury in 2005. Unfortunately, what I found out was that the league did not share any of the optimism about me as an Unrestricted Free Agent that I expected. In fact, there was an overwhelming sense that there was no room for me among this year’s group of quarterbacks; whether in a starting, competing or a backup role. No matter what I did or said, there seemed to be a unified message from teams that I was not welcome to compete for one of the many jobs that were available at the quarterback position. It seems that the stance I took in both Minnesota and Miami regarding my rights as a person and player has followed me into Free Agency.

After taking a long look at my career and my personal convictions, I have decided to begin early retirement from the NFL effective immediately. Since the beginning of training camp I was told that my opportunity would come when a quarterback gets hurt. I cannot remember the last time so many QB’s have been injured during the preseason. I have been strongly encouraged from family, friends and league personnel to continue to be patient and wait for an inevitable injury to one of the starting quarterbacks in the league. I would rather shut the door to such “opportunity” than continue to wait for one of my fellow quarterback’s to suffer a serious injury. Since I was not given a fair chance to come in and compete for a job, I would rather move on and win in other arenas of life.

The decision I made in 2006 to represent myself rather than hire an agent has been an invaluable experience. I now understand why so many people within the NFL community are uncomfortable with a player really learning the business. The NFL has become more about power, money and control than passion, competition and the love of the game. Regardless of this shift, player’s rights are still supposed to be a part of this league. Since I will not be given the opportunity to honor the memory of Gene Upshaw by wearing a patch on my uniform this year, I will instead spend some of my energy applying what he taught me about standing up for what is right and not sitting down for what is clearly wrong.

I want to thank my family and my fans for their unwavering belief in me as a person and a player. I embraced both the peaks and the valleys of the game and my career. I am a better person today as a direct result of the experience of playing in the NFL. I can now focus on the enjoyment of watching some of the greatest athletes in the world play the game I love without the distraction of waiting for those elusive return phone calls.

Thankfully,

Daunte Culpepper

I feel bad for Daunte. He is a good quarterback, could most likely start for a number of teams. Even if not, he's better than most of the backups. So why didn't he get a job??? its BS.

and damn this is a strong statement, and i agree with it:

In other news, George you should be worried. The skins look pretty bad man.
