The Moose from Scappoose is Pro Bowl bound.
Tom Brady had a rough weekend. His high ankle sprain, combined with a perfection-plundering upset by the Giants, is forcing him to skip the Pro Bowl. So instead of smearing sunscreen on Giselle’s shoulders on the beaches of Honolulu, he’ll be holed up somewhere in New York City, of all the places, listening to chants of “18-1.”
But there’s more to Brady’s Pro Bowl pull-out than just wishing New York-style torture on a Michigan grad.

Hey, get a clue how about?
Maybe Cleveland fans don’t want to settle for a QB who just ‘doesn’t completely suck’. He completely sucked at times. Maybe we want a guy leading us that can possibly sustain enough consistency over a 3 or 4 game stretch to win us a Super Bowl? That’s the goal isn’t it? 10-win seasons mean hardly more than 6 win seasons when you don’t even get a crack at the playoffs. Do we know Quinn is that QB I’m talking about? No. But we know Anderson is not. Look at the stats if your eyes deceived you when you watched him the last half of the season, he was less than average, numbers wise in the last 8 games. Nice game against Cincinnati and nice flippant, aloof attitude to follow up that performance that gave away our playoff spot.
When Quinn proves to be the better QB in 10 years, make sure you reference this post.
