Always irked me that NBC can't pick just one player of the game. Gotta have half the team up there.

Speaking of quarterbacks, i'm trying to grasp how Ryan Fitzpatrick continues to get jobs as a starting QB?

The guy has a career 30-50 record and a terrible 111-98 TD/INT ratio, yet the Texas handed him another starting gig. I get that not every team can get their hands on a top 10 quarterback, but Fitzpatrick has proven that he's not going to ever lead a team anywhere note worthy.

I try to never take for granted being so blessed to go from Favre directly to Rodgers, while a number of teams can go a decade to even decades shuffling in and out mediocre to bad QB's.

Fitzpatrick is just a placeholder for Mallet or (insert QB from 2015 draft). Considering the Texans are doing pretty well as of now with Fitz playing decent enough to win games, I don't think it was a bad move. Conversely, I think the worst thing a franchise can do is reach for a QB in the draft.

More franchises should do what they're doing and not invest in a mediocre QB simply because they believe they don't have any better options (Ponder, Dalton, Locker, etc.).

Wow. I never would've guessed.

We *really* don't know anything about these public figures.
