Week 1 Recap and my Impetuous Thoughts

Mark Sanchez is the greatest NFL quarterback of all-time
Well, not yet. But as a rookie, in his first start, on the road, against a decent team, he more than held his own. It must feel great for him to get his first win out of the way. However, he has now set the expectations for him to unrealistic heights. Today, Jets fans are already booking hotels in Miami for the Super Bowl. This is just like last year. Last year was FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE FAVRE up until 8-3. Then it all went to hell. 2009 is shaping up to be a similar situation. Sanchez will go through growing pains. He will struggle. As will the defense. The Jets will be exploited for their lack of wide receiver depth. It will be a struggle for me as a Jet fan. I'm keeping my expectations low. I've been heartbroken before. This year will be different.

Drew Brees and Adrian Peterson are Fantasy Gods
Okay, I am hardly being impetuous here. Because they are. They just...are. I was mocked in one of my drafts for taking Drew Brees fifth overall. Well who's laughing now? 6 TD's?!!! 37 fantasy points?!!! You got that right. I made sure I had him in at least 2 leagues this season. He's money. As far as Adrian Peterson is concerned, I'm just happy I didn't have to face him this week. I was not lucky enough to be blessed with a #1 pick this season, hence no Peterson. But will he be penciled in for 120 yards and 2 TD's every game? Looks like it.

You know how when you play Madden, you make a player who is flawless. 99 Speed. 99 Strength. 99 Vision. 6 foot 7, 260 pounds.  You give him the ball 50 times a game and he scores 9 touchdowns. That's kind of like Peterson, except he's a human. It's really like he's playing a video game out there.

Jake Delhomme is the worst quarterback in the NFL
4 interceptions. 9 interceptions in his last two games.
Not to mention, 2 lost fumbles. Both game at home no less. That is not good. Has he officially lost it? Panthers fans better hope not. Their backup quarterback: Josh McCown.

Jay Cutler is also the worst quarterback in the NFL
Boy was last night's game fun to watch. After the Denver Bronco's shock the Cincinnati Bengals on a last minute touchdown, Jay Cutler breaks in his new wide receivers by refusing to throw to them. 4 picks. Poetic justice? Maybe. Schadenfreude? You better believe it. There's nothing like watching someone get exactly what's coming to them. In case you're keeping score at home, Kyle Orton is 1-0 and Jay Cutler is 0-1.

Ugh, it's Monday after the games. This is the longest possible time until more football. An awful feeling.
