Got something to say?The San Diego Chargers traveled to Glendale, AZ to take on the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday evening in one of their final pre-season contests. The Chargers, who have been on the road and last week Hakeem Nicks Jersey Blue defeated the Dallas Cowboys, are getting more comfortable on the field and the team should be a strong contender in the AFC West.The Chargers started off Saturday on the wrong foot as the Cardinals were able to get on the board first when they kicked a 36 yard field goal. The Chargers struggled early but were able to moved down the field. When Quarterback Phillip Rivers was pressured by the Arizona defense, he threw a beautiful pass to Tight End Antonio Gates. He wasn't able to make the reception so the Chargers had to punt.On the second Arizona possession, a Bryan Matthews fumble (which was recovered by Center Nick Hardwick) led to a long 52 yard field goal by Nate Kaeding to tie the game up. The Chargers wouldn't see the end zone until several minutes into the second quarter when Phillip Rivers hits Wide Receiver Vincent Jackson with Hakeem Nicks Jersey Womens a 31 yard reception to set up a short pass from Rivers to Antonio Gates for the touchdown.The Cardinals continued their steady attack in the Hakeem Nicks Jersey Red air and on the ground giving the Cardinals a big lead but with the leadership of Phillip Rivers, (18-28 for 198 yards two touchdowns and one interception) he made sure his team wasn't going to let this game get away from them! Wide Receiver Malcolm Floyd caught a pinpoint pass, Nate Kaeding kicked another field goal, and we had a football game!Linebacker Darryl Gamble's fumble recovering for a touchdown set up backup Quarterback Billy Volek's two minute drive Permier Hakeem Nicks Jersey down the field. With every Chargers fan standing, holding their breath, the Chargers, down 31-27 with 8 seconds remaining, and Volek, who had only 9 completions on 17 attempts, was able to find Wide Receiver Bryan Walters with a 14 yard touchdown pass! The Bolts were able to pull through and defeat the Arizona Cardinals by the final score of 34-31.The Chargers now have a 2-1 record in the 2011 preseason.The San Diego Chargers will return home to San Diego to take on the visiting San Francisco 49ers on September 1st in the final preseason game of 2011.Jeremy Meyer joined 24X7 Network in 2011. He is entering his second Authentic Hakeem Nicks Jersey Blue season covering the San Diego Chargers and currently is on the beat for Chargers247. Got something to say?After looking at the Bills first two games it looks as Chan and his two-headed D-Coordinator (let's hope it's not a push-me-pull-you) have created a very solid run defense, and are coaching a good scheme to control opposing runners.It looks like the whole defense becomes this huge funnel, with everyone pushing the running back into the center were their giant space eaters Williams, Dareus, and some solid LB's preside. And so far for the most part it seems to be working. Not 100% of the time though, and I think it may show a flaw in the Bill's coaching-management relationship.I bet of they had their druthers, Chan and his double headed DC would love to have kept Donte Whitner. He Official Hakeem Nicks Jersey is built perfect for this defense, a fast hard hitter who knows where to be. If he didn't have to cover three people's jobs, and could just focus on being the run thumper, my guess is Donte would have had a Authentic Ben Roethlisberger Jersey much different rep here.The question that will be answered now is if George Wilson is the right man for the job? I was discussing with friends the other day that Wilson was the key to the Raiders game. If the Bills were to win, it had to be Wilson thumping on run DMC, because he was going to be breaking first contain. He just does. So would Wilson be up to it? In the early going he clearly wasn't, and in the second half he got spared the test by his friend Fred Jackson.Don't get me wrong I like George Wilson a lot, he has done good work. You could see him trying Hakeem Nicks Jersey White to lower the boom on McFadden in the early going. But is George really a thumper? An every down, put your nose in it hitter, who likes to talk about it (you know the crazy I'm talking about. Destined for a drool cup at some point if they get past 50)? Because it appears that is what the position requires.A large amount of the Bills run defense rest with the Strong Safety, I hope the penny pinchers at OBD didn't let logistics kill the strategy.

The first two weeks of the NFL season have been a real eye opener for Indianapolis Colts fans. Playing without Peyton Manning(notes) for the first time since he came into the league in 1998, the Colts and quarterback Kerry Collins have played bad and lost their Hakeem Nicks Authentic Jersey first two games to the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns. The Colts sit at 0-2 and have very little hope for immediate improvement this Authentic Eli Manning Jersey Blue season.Peyton Manning's importance to the team is being seen in more ways than many fans realized when he was playing quarterback for the Colts. Many fans identify how great Manning is at running the Colts offense but don't see the deficiencies he makes up for at several other positions on the team. Manning takes very few sacks and rarely turns the ball over. &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; As a Colts fan, I felt that Kerry Collins(notes) would be able to step in and learn enough of the offense to fill in adequately and help the team still compete and win games. Eli Manning Jersey Blue Through the first two games, the Colts do not look like a winning football team with Kerry Collins. It's been discouraging to watch for fans of the Colts but means that fans must alter their expectations in 2011.In just two games, Collins has completed just 50% of his passes thrown. Collins has also thrown one interception and been sacked five times. Of those five sacks, Collins has fumbled three times. Even with how bad he's played, I'm still supporting Collins as the quarterback of the team.For fans of the Colts this season has been an unpleasant change compared to the success they are used Eli Manning Jersey Womens to with Peyton Manning leading the team. At this point, Manning should take his time in his rehab and join the team only when Eli Manning Jersey Red he is 100% healthy. In the meantime, fans should have realistic expectations and hope that Kerry Collins shows improvement throughout the season. I think the answer in 2011 is not Authentic Hakeem Nicks Jersey for the Colts to look at Brett Favre(notes) or other desperate options at quarterback.Fans will have to endure a long and painful season with more losses than they have become accustomed to. If anything Eli Manning Jersey White good comes from it, the team should continue to get a long look and develop experience with several younger players. They also appear to be in position for a high draft pick and the potential of bringing in impact players for next season when Manning can hopefully return to the team.Kyle Rapoza has been a lifelong fan Authentic Ben Roethlisberger Jersey of the Indianapolis Colts. He attended Super Bowl XLIV in Miami and follows the team closely.Note: This article was written by a Yahoo! contributor. Sign up here to start publishing your own sports content.

Everyone loves to compare today's sports stars with the greatest athletes to play before them. Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Current Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning(notes) came into the league in 1998 and has been re-writing the record books ever since.On the NFL Network's top 100 greatest players of Permier Eli Manning Jersey all-time list, Joe Montana ranked number four Authentic Ben Roethlisberger Jersey while Peyton Manning ranked number eight. Manning was in the middle of the 2010 season at the time and still is active Eli Manning Authentic Jersey in the NFL. The only other quarterback to rank in the top Giants Eli Manning Jersey 10 with them is Johnny Unitas at number six. Manning's importance is being further identified in 2011 when he has been sidelined from the Colts with an injury for the first time in his career. &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; Montana's career spanned 16 seasons where he played in 192 total games. He made 8 Pro Bowl Official Eli Manning Jersey appearances, and was named first team All-Pro three times . Montana also led the 49ers to four Super Bowl titles in the 80's. Joe Montana was named Super Bowl MVP in three of the four wins. Montana won two NFL MVP awards in his career. Joe Montana was inducted into the pro football hall of fame Authentic Brandon Jacobs Jersey Blue in the year 2000.Peyton Manning is an 11-time Pro Bowler and 5-time first team All-Pro . Statistically, Manning's numbers are mind boggling. He has thrown for Authentic Eli Manning Jersey over 4,000 yards in 11 of his 13 seasons and thrown over 30 touchdown passes in a season six times. Manning has won an NFL record four MVP awards throughout his career. Peyton has also led his team to one Super Bowl win in two appearances.Statistically Montana struggles to match Manning Brandon Jacobs Jersey White even though he played with Jerry Rice and John Taylor and in one of the most innovative offensive systems in the history of the NFL. Montana never had over 4,000 yards passing in his career and had a career best of 31 touchdown passes in a season in 1987. In fewer seasons, Manning has a higher career completion percentage, over 14,000 more passing yards, and 125 more touchdown passes. The two also have nearly identical interception percentages in their careers.While the argument typically leans towards Montana because of the Super Bowl titles, Manning has put up a strong enough body of work to be considered in the same sentence as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. Montana played for a legendary coach in Bill Walsh and one of the most innovative systems in football in the west coast offense. Manning has developed his own version of a no huddle offense during his time with the Colts. I think that the combination of both inferior coaching and defensive team around him, Peyton Manning's accomplishments throughout his career allow him to be placed along with Montana as one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game of football.Note: This article was written by a Yahoo! contributor.

Tom Brady(notes) and Peyton Manning(notes) came from completely different places, but both have found their way to MVP and Super Bowl trophies along with the respect of legions of fans, analysts and their peers.Brady was a sixth round pick out of Michigan who had a good but not great college career while Manning, a former number-one overall pick from Tennessee, has been a superstar from high school through the NFL, although his rookie year was challenging. &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; But which has had the better career to this point? Now that Manning is battling injuries and his status is up in the air for the future, it seems like a good time to compare his career with Brady.Let's go down the Brandon Jacobs Jersey Red line and compare the two living legends, using stats from NFL.com for Brady and stats for Manning as well:Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning (Stats)-Super Bowl Titles: Brady has three, Manning one.NFL MVPs: Four for Manning, two for Authentic Darren McFadden Jersey Brady.Pro Bowls: Eleven for Manning compared with six for Brady.Career QB Rating: 95.8 for Brady, 94.9 for Manning.Completion Percentage: 64.9 for Manning to 63.8 for Brady.TD/INT Ratio: 268 to 104 for Brady, giving him the edge compared with 399 to 198 for Manning.The stats overall are fairly close, but the one that sticks out for many is the stat pertaining to Brady's Super Bowl rings. Whether fair or not, big-time QB's are ultimately judged cheap nfl jerseys china by how many they win and Brady got a head start when he filled in for Drew Bledsoe in his second season in 2001. But he has continued his success from that point on.Brady has had some bad playoff moments as well including a Super Bowl loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII but Manning probably has more high-profile stumbles in the playoffs. Raiders Rolando McClain Jersey Brady seems less likely to make the big mistake as evidence by his superior TD-INT ratio.In terms of supporting casst, Manning probably has had more high-profile weapons like Marvin Harrison(notes) and Reggie Wayne(notes) while Brady has Authentic Darren McFadden Jersey mostly accomplished his feats with a rotating cast of receiving targets, although he has found favorites in guys like Deion Branch(notes) and Wes Welker(notes).While Manning has more control of his team's offense overall, Brady is also one of the most detailed game managers in the league.From a coaching standpoint, Bill Belichick has probably helped Brady along more than Manning's coaches, and the AFC East and AFC wholesale jerseys china South have been similar in terms of the quality of teams.All things considered, this is one of the tougher sports fans debates out there, but the edge has to go to Brady because of his rings, his undefeated season in 2007-2008 despite the loss to the Giants, and because of his lesser supporting casts on offense.Manning is a bit more explosive from a stats standpoint but Brady is more consistent and clutch, which makes the difference in this debate and makes him the Rolando McClain Jersey Womens best QB in recent memory if not the best of all-time.Note: This article was written by a Yahoo! contributor.

Two SEC quarterbacks drafted No. 1 overall by two miserable NFL teams 13 years apart: Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Peyton Manning(notes) of the Indianapolis Colts. Who is wholesale jerseys going to wind up with Giants Brandon Jacobs Jersey the better rookie season?My vote: Cam Newton.The Plaintiff &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; &nb sp; Cameron Jerrell Newton was drafted No. 1 overall in 2011 by the Carolina Panthers. The former Auburn Tiger joined a team that had suffered through a 2-14 campaign in 2010 and had relieved its entire coaching staff of its duties after the season.What has he done in his first two games as an NFL quarterback? Well, he's only become the first NFL quarterback in history to throw for over 400 yards in each Official Brandon Jacobs Jersey of his first two games.No biggie.On Sept. 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, Newton threw for 422 yards and two touchdowns, setting an NFL record for the most passing yards by a rookie in his NFL debut. He also gained 18 yards on the ground and scored a rushing touchdown, too. He tossed an interception early in the third quarter and was sacked four times, but he finished with a quarterback rating of 110.4.He even had his Panthers up 21-14 after three quartersa lead that was ultimately lost when the Carolina defense allowed a 70-yard touchdown pass from Kevin Kolb(notes) to Early Doucet(notes) and then the special teams coughed up an 89-yard punt return for a touchdown by Patrick Peterson(notes). Final score: Arizona 28, Carolina 21.On Sept. 18 against the defending league champion Green Bay Packers, Newton threw for 432 yards and a touchdown, setting an NFL record for the most passing yards in a game by a rookie. He also ran for 53 yards and scored once on the ground. Granted, he threw three interceptions, was sacked another four times, and his quarterback rating was only 72.0 in this one, but come on. They were the defending league champions. Everyone in their right mindexcept for this guyexpected the Pack to trounce Newton and the Panthers.Final score: Packers 30, Panthers 23.He threw for 151 yards in the first Replica Brandon Jacobs Jersey quarter, and Doug Farrar points out that on six different occasions in 2010, Carolina quarterbacks failed to pass for at least 151 yards in the entire game.So for those of you Brandon Jacobs Jersey Blue scoring at home, his collective stats right now are 854 passing yards, three touchdowns, four interceptions, 71 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and eight sacks.Next up for Cam and the gang is a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who allowed 263 passing yards to Matt Hasselbeck(notes) in a Week 1 victory and 182 passing yards to Mark Sanchez(notes) in a Week 2 stomping. Of course, Sanchez didn't have to throw much Brandon Jacobs Authentic Jersey after the third quarter in the rout, so what can Cam do against the Jags? Maybe 500 passing yards?I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Newton gets his first NFL win on Sept. 25.The DefendantPeyton Williams Manning was drafted No. 1 overall in 1998 by the Indianapolis Colts. The former Tennessee Volunteer joined a team that had suffered through a 3-13 campaign in 1997 and had relieved its entire coaching staff of its duties after the season.Manning threw his first pass for a touchdown in the NFL during the fourth quarter of his first game. Unfortunately, the pass was an interception by Miami Dolphins defensive back Terrell Buckley that was returned for a Dolphins score. (Manning later found Marvin Harrison(notes) in the end zone for his first NFL touchdown to one of his own guys.)Final score: Miami 24, Indy 15. Peyton's stats: 304 passing yards, one touchdown, three picks, four sacks, no rushing yards.In Game No. 2 for Authentic LaDainian Tomlinson Jersey Manning, he quickly threw another pass for a touchdownthis one to New England Patriots defensive back Ty Law(notes) that was returned 59 yards for a Pats score. In garbage time in the fourth quarter, Manning found Torrance Small for a Colts touchdown.Final score: Patriots 29, Colts 6. Manning's stats: 188 passing yards, one touchdown, three picks, two sacks, no rushing yards.So in Peyton's first two games, he threw for 492 yards, two touchdowns, six interceptions, six sacks, and no rushing yards.The futility in Indy went on and on and on until finally, in Week 5, the Colts beat the Ryan Leaf-led San Diego Chargers 17-12. Manning threw for 137 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the victory.Manning finished his rookie season with 3,739 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, 28 interceptions, and 22 sacks. He also rushed for 62 yards and fumbled three times. The Colts finished 3-13.Of course, after that rookie season, Manning has done a thing or two in Indianapolis over the years, but nevertheless, Cam Newton is going to surpass Manning's rookie season passing yards, Authentic Brandon Jacobs Jersey touchdowns, and wins this year. He has already left Manning's rushing yards in the dust.Grudge JudgeSo what's your verdict? Who is going to wind up having the better rookie season: Cam Newton or Peyton Manning?
