More QB Woes...

This year is a tough year for NFL quarterbacks. First the Colts, Peyton Manning, had two surgical procedures on his knee to remove an infected bursa sac from his knee. He was cleared to return to the field in late August.







On the west coast the 49ers are feeling the QB blues because Alex Smith's season is over. He suffered another shoulder injury. The high-priced quarterback's short career with the San Francisco 49ers is probably finished as well. Smith was paid more than $31 million during his four years with the 49ers. Unfortunately because of the NFL salary cap, he will likely be released before next season.



During the Patriots' 2008 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, Brady's left knee was seriously injured midway through the first quarter. The hit came courtesy of Chiefs safety Bernard Pollard, Brady left the game and did not return. Brady tore both the ACL and MCL in his left knee and discovered he needed season ending surgery.




BREAKING NEWS (Literally):

The Cardinals did more than just win against the Cowboys. Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo has a broken finger on his throwing hand. This news comes as a shock because he will be out for up to four weeks. The Cowboy's medical staff commented that the injury won't require surgery. On the first play of overtime when Romo was sacked by Chike Okeafor is when the injury occurred.

Romo, who had started 30 straight regular-season games since replacing Drew Bledsoe in 2006. He passed Troy Aikman with 14 game throwing 300+ passing yards. This gives the starting nod to 40 year-old Brad Johnson, who won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay but hasn't started a game since 2006 with the Vikings.

It's a wonderful year to be a QB in the NFL!!!!
