There's been a lot of talk this offseason about the rookie quarterbacks of this Draft.Andrew Luck looks like Peyton Manning already, and RGIII is bringing excitement back to the nation's capitol.We've even heard buzz around Brandon Weeden in Cleveland, mainly because he is older than Aaron Rodgers and hasn't played a meaningful down in the NFL yet. But on the West Coast there is an undersized Big 10 quarterback that Pete Carroll was criticized for by taking him so high in the Draft after signing Matt Flynn to a contract. That man's name is Russell Wilson.After completing 13 of 19 passes for 185 yards and two scores, plus an added 58 yards rushing on only two carries, he's well on his way to earning the starting job in Seattle. So far he's 35 of 52 for 364 yards, with five TDs and just one pick. He also has 140 yards rushing and a TD on the ground this preseason. Let's compare these numbers to RGIII, since they have similar playing styles. Griffin III ...

Peyton Manning threw for 122 yards and 2 touchdowns today as his Broncos took on the San Francisco 49ers. The big news is Manning completed 10 out of the 12 passes he threw. Manning who has been battling arm problems for the last 18 months or so looked like the Manning of old today. The Broncos just may have the quarterback thy need to take them where John Elway wants them to go...

So I figured rather than hinting that I had updated my Overall Rankings for 2012 Fantasy Football, I’d give you a brief synopsis of what has transpired. I also figured I would compete for the Guiness World Record for longest post title about an updated ranking while I was at it. Yeah, it’s not a real category but when it is I’m a freaking shoo-in to win. Basically, Doug...

Peyton Manning vs. Eli Manning. The elite vs. the pro bowler. The one time champion vs. the two-time champion. Who fears who more? This has become our modern-day era, which came first the chicken or the egg?, age-long question. Just like everyone assumes it was the egg, everyone assumed it was Eli that feared big brother Peyton.
What if it was the chicken that cames first...

Aaron Rodgers certainly wasn't doing a celebration after this interview. While taking questions from the media, there wasn't just microphones in his face. Packers' Fullback John Kuhn weaved through the reporters like they were the defensive line and managed to give Rodgers a face full of shaving cream (he was probably due for a shave anyways).I wonder if Rodgers will...

It’s been an argument ever sinePeyton Manning was moved to Denver: which receiver will become his favorite?
During the all important 3rd preseason game, it was clearly Eric Decker, as he hauled in two early scores against the elite San Francisco defense. The preseason statistics are nice, but they are only reinforcing what we thought when Manning signed in Denver. Demaryius Thomas...

John Kuhn decided to prank his MVP QB with a shaving cream pie to the face while he was holding court with the media. Unfortunately Aaron Rodgers looked none too pleased with the joke. Get a sense of humor buddy!
Just guessing the Packers FB didn’t know any better. He should probably just stick to blocking and working hard during the exercise programs.
Best of luck to John on getting...

The Denver Broncos were a mediocre team in 2011 but were thrust into the spotlight because of their former quarterback and spiritual leader, Tim Tebow.His Football-ness was jettisoned in the offseason in favor of perhaps the greatest to ever play the position, Peyton Manning, who is also a pretty good guy.With a crop of promising young stars that are rich on talent and character...
