S-PIN’s Bill Simmons uses war movies to rank the raft of NFL quarterbacks. Pretty funny stuff:
CASUALTIES OF WAR
29. Jake Delhomme, Browns
The case for rooting for Jake in Cleveland: It’s like watching someone trying to put his life back together after committing an accidental homicide and serving the mandatory prison sentence. Except in this case the accidental homicide was of the entire Panthers fan base. …HAMBURGER HILL
27. Alex Smith, 49ers
26. Matt Moore, Panthers
25. Matt Cassel, Chiefs
Basically the same guy — right down to their ages (28, 28 and 26), their short names and the fact that something will have gone horribly wrong with your fantasy season if you start any of them. You can go 10-6 with them as long as everything else is going right.
You know what — I’d take 10-6 and run screaming into the night with it. But I continue to worry that the OL is too nicked up to provide that churning ground game Moore will need to be effective. We shall soon find out.
