It wasn’t until the third round that a truly mobile quarterback was picked, when the New England Patriots selected Kevin O’Connell of San Diego State; considering the durability of Tom Brady, the man he will be groomed to replace, O’Connell’s running is likely to be in place and on the sideline for the next few years....The latter one, at least, merited an online excision and correction: "An earlier version of this article gave outdated information on Vince Young. After the article was published, Young injured his knee and will be out two to four weeks." Why not do something about the first one as well?
Even if Troy Aikman — a virtual statue behind his line — suffered a similar number of concussions as Steve Young, and even if the Cincinnati Bengals' quarterback Carson Palmer blew out a knee in the pocket while Vince Young's only professional injury so far, a strained quadriceps muscle, was a non-contact injury, the league-wide consensus is that giving free rein to a quarterback is too risky.
[Side warning for all FFL owners: BAL-HOU postponed until November. Realistically, and given recent news, was anyone starting anyone in that game other than Andre Johnson and the Ravens defense?]
[Speaking of injuries: the fever went from 103 to 99 in less than 24 hours, and I'm more-or-less fine now. God bless the three-day azithromycin prescription.]
