If there's one position that never goes a day without being discussed in any NFL city its the Quarterback. This week is no different with 2 veteran QBs leading their teams to victory and 2 young QBs faltering, possibly losing their starting positions.
The man of the week was Donovan McNabb, after telling HBO black QBs face more criticism then white QBs , he came out swinging on Sunday. Too bad for the Detroit Lions as McNabb played with a fire and lead his team to a blowout victory.
Up in Green Bay, the man, the myth, the legend was just that, leading his team to an upset victory over the lame San Diego Chargers. His performance has left him tied with Dan Marino for 1st all-time in TD passes and the Packers in sole possession of 1st place and has everyone in Chicago and Detroit nervous like it was 1998 all over again.
Down the highway in Chicago, Rex Grossman (or is it Wreck Grossman) might be seeing a lot more wood in the next few days. One regular Around The Horn panelist wants not only to see him get benched, but also the starting running back. I'm just glad I'm not a Bears fan right now.

Finally, this is great news for us in the Pacific Northwest. Golden Boy Matt Leinhart got benched yesterday for the former grocery boy Kurt Warner. Now there's a little controversy stirring up in the desert. Granted, Warner had a good game yesterday but it was only a half. Do you really think he can lead the Cardinals to a division crown? I know everyone in Seattle is hoping they let him try.
