Vick, Culpepper, Quinn, Favre, Marbury – Part II – which one does not fit?

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.

If you missed part 1, you can catch it at Vick, Culpepper, Quinn, Favre, Marbury – Part I – which one does not fit?

Stephon Marbury has backed off

Let’s move to that 3 ring circus called Oakland, where we find the search for the Quarterback feverishly going on.

We all know that JaMarcus Russell is going to start at quarterback, right?

Oops, Oakland forgot to get his signature on a contract.

Lane Kiffen from USC is the new coach and his old boss, Pete Carroll, is not too happy.

“This is not helping the kid’s career,” Carroll said of the holdout. “It’s unfortunate for the kid, and the Raiders have come up with a tremendous quarterback situation by getting Daunte. source

But, who cares, this is about Daunte Culpepper. He might have marched right in and stole the QB job.

Lane Kiffin didn’t name Culpepper the starter, but he was happy to see Culpepper working to master the Raiders’ new system. “I know this about Daunte – he’s buying into what we need, and I don’t think that’s what he’s used to,” Kiffin said on Saturday. The Raiders don’t need a scramble-happy freewheeler. They need a strong-armed veteran who can keep the offense competitive while Kiffin assembles more pieces. Culpepper looks like the man.

So, we have Michael Vick in deep doo doo, Favre with maybe a lighter load to carry, Quinn just aching to make an appearance that counts, Culpepper gaining a bonanza, and now quarterback number 5, Stephon Marbury.

Stephon Who berry? Oh, you mean the point guard for the Knicks? He isn’t a quarterback.

Well, some would say that, even though Stephon plays point guard, which makes him the quarterback for the hoop team. (Squibster note: Stephon is one of my favorite players, even though he is selfish and admits to playing only for the money and would never be allow on any of my teams, not even my rec league team. One night he buried 11 shots in the fourth quarter from all over the court against my Pistons. It was awesome.)

It appears that now that Michael Vick has admitted guilt that Stephon is no longer defending him.

New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury backed off his defense of Michael Vick, according to newspaper reports Friday.

“What Michael Vick did was wrong, and he has admitted his guilt,” Marbury said in a statement released by the Knicks to New York newspapers. “He should be punished. However, he should be given a second chance, as others have received for more serious crimes.” source

So we say goodbye to Vick, wish a fond farewell to the soon to retire Favre, say Hello to Culpepper, don’t see Quinn to be able to say anything, and hope Stephon will shake his own hand.

NFL Football Fan Question The team leaders are lining up. Will JaMarcus sign in time to play? Will the Vick backers disappear?
