I can't figure out why anyone would want Kordell, as a reciever maybe. Johnson, I like. He's not spectacular but he doesn't make many mistakes.

Kordell was awesome as slash, defenses never knew what to expect. But when he tried to be a pure QB, he just sucked. so to have him on the team as a 2nd QB is a good option, keep the defense on thier feet.

Or use him as an RB. He could run the option out of the backfield. Try to defend that. 2 passers, oh the possibilities.

yeah, that'd be a lot of fun to watch! And great for fantasy football...

Chiefs looking for third QB
Kansas City Star

The Star's Ivan Carter reports that the Chiefs may go shopping for a third quarterback. Coach Dick Vermeil could try to convince Kurt Warner to take the job.

TRD, I look forward to these every day. Thanks.

Now, Stubby isn't all that good. It was the rest of the DL that made him look good. Millen is living in the past. Not a good move IMO. BTW, I like Millen, not bashing him.

He no worries i have a few places i get them from so there is plenty. Fox sports and a few others do them. If i posted all of them there would be too many a day. lol!


Well i thought Stubblefield was ok, guess i must have been mistaken. What i would like to know is where Testaverde is gonna end up?

Testeverde could still start for some teams, backup for sure, so he'll find work.

Ravens could give backup job to Stewart
Baltimore Sun

Kordell Stewart could be the QB that the Ravens are looking for. The Sun's Jamison Hensley reports that "all indications are pointing toward Stewart replacing [injured backup Anthony] Wright".

Eddie George could be on the market?

Drools with anticipation.

Yea it looks like it is big news. Bud Adams has stated that he (George) will almost certainly NOT be back this season.

Don't want to see him in the NFC West, unless he's in red and gold.

George is a quality player and would fit well in any team, i would like to see him as a Giant or Jet

He's a special back. Total player. And tough as nails. I'd take him over Holmes any day.

Isn't he still recovering from an injury?

I think he was just banged up and playing hurt. Not one of those players that gets a hangnail and has to sit.
