Look what happened to the Broncos last year with all the preseason talk of Griese losing his starting job... the season was over before it began.[smiley=shootmyself.gif]

A QB controversy is a terrible way to start the season and I think Martz made the right move by putting it to rest early.

Ok, I'm biased because I have Bulger but Warner has looked absolutely horrible since SB XXXVI. I have a dish so I get to see many Rams games... with all Martz' rhetoric about Warner "deceiving" the staff, I am surprised bu time will tell..

I'd love to see how this situation plays out, as I have both Warner and Bulger in my keeper league. Pulling for Warner to return to top form...

Well, here is Fanball.com's take... a little fact, a little trash-talkin', a little conspiracy theory:

The piece also contains material on other various timely topics.

This is NOT making my keeper decision easier for next year...

Now I have to choose between Warner, Dillon, Bennett, and Taylor in a keeper league turned auction league. Warner will come REALLY cheap, but with all of the quality QB's out there, I don't know. The other RB's are pretty good quality for their cheap price as well...

I get to match a magazine's salary for two of those guys, the rest are up to the public.

Grrr...
