Training camp is finally here, that means the baseball season is over the July hump of unimportant games and the standings actually mean something. This means we can talk about actual football and not Favre or T.O. or Vick. THANK GOD. Today the Colts, Seahawks, Giants and Panthers all checked into to their respective camps and are getting things rolling. Lets see what going on around camps that are of interest:
- To start let's check the status of the first-rounders and their contracts. Looks like Matthew Stafford getting paid his money, but is it worth starting him over Dante Culpepper? Honestly, I think the Lions shoudl get at least one win under their belt before they go about putting all the pressure on the young QB out of Georgia. Matt Ryan, handled the pressure extremely well and pulled the Falcons into the playoffs. But the pressure of an unheard of 0-16 season may be a little bit too much. So I say bench him until at least one W.
-In more Quarterback news, looks like new head coach Eric Mangini intends on picking one starting QB and sticking with him. Noooo way, so it won't switch week-to-week! Well whether it's going to be Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn, they'll still look like shit with their new uniforms.
- Beanie Wells is injured. This seems to be a common trait with the rookie out of Ohio State. Thats not all of the news out of Cardinals training camp because, oh wait, he just agreed to a 5 year deal. Why does Ohio State produce players that are expected to be so great and just ride the pine due to injury? Greg Oden anybody? I watched this kid play a lot last year, as much as I could handle watching Ohio State struggle with their QB issues. And he is something special, but 30 TDs, over 3,000 yards in three years....oh yeah and no fumbles. Wow, that is pretty impressive. The Cards are going to need him, with the release of Edgerrin James and Tim Hightower as their number one.
