The New York Jets New QB should be Mark Brunell

There is a lot of chirping in New York right now about Mark Sanchez not being the future QB of the Jets. Everyone is very quick to forget that he has gone to the AFC Championship game in two of his first three seasons and even though the Jets didn’t make the playoffs this year Sanchez threw for a career high 26 TD’s. I’m not going to argue the merits of if Sanchez is a good...

Schefter: Redskins could try to trade for top pick in draft

Here was the start of Tom Boswell’s column last week on Washington’s new appreciation for the NFL draft: For 40 years, the Redskins have thrown away high draft picks like they were cheap lottery tickets. In half those seasons, Washington didn’t even have a first-round pick. For decades, whenever the Redskins wanted Donovan McNabb, Mark Brunell, Brad Johnson, Clinton Portis...
