Sage Rosenfels will destroy your secondary

Yeah, your eyes aren't deceiving you. That's Sage Rosenfels, lighting up the sky with his 4 TD, 290 yard passing performance against Tennessee last Sunday. This season has had some crazy moments so far, but I don't think that I ever expected to see Sage Rosenfels in Yahoo's "Hot Fantasty Quarterback" list. Sage and hot fantasy quarterback have never been linked before now.
You know, when Sage is throwing touchdowns as frequently as Byron Leftwich injures himself, you know that something is up. See, the fact that he had the third best fantasy day of any qb last week just goes to show how pathetic the quarterback position has been for most of the teams in the league.
My Epic Carnival co-writer JD pointed this out yesterday. If you tuned in to a game on this weekend, you would have seen the likes of Trent Dilfer, Tim Rattay, Byron Leftwich/Joey Harrington, Cleo Lemon, Trent Edwards, Brian Griese, Damon Huard, Tarvaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels and Kerry Collins lining up under center.
Let's also not forget about the hurt Kurt Warner, Marc Bulger and his ribs, noodle armed Pennington, whatever is left of Matt Hasselbeck, Daunte Culpepper who is only playing because Josh McCown is hurt, the David Carr/Vinny Testaverde combo down in Carolina and probably the worst of all, Quinn Gray in relief duties on Monday Night for Jacksonville.
Wow, that is downright horrible. Right now, the only teams that can feel genuinely good about their qb position in regard to the future are New England, Indy, Dallas, Pittsburgh, the New York Giants, Cincinnati and I'll also add New Orleans and San Diego to that list for now.
I'm not adding Green bay because Favre can't go on forever (even though he might) and should he hang it up after this season, you still really don't know what Aaron Rodgers can bring to the table. But hey, I'm not even ruling out the possibility that Rodgers retires before Favre does though..

Oh damnit I wish I had thought of that "Rodgers retires before Favre does" line before you. Thanks for the shout and nice work. Sage Rosenfels is a beast.
Heck, I'd argue that if Leftwich could stay healthy the Falcons would be in the top half of the league in QB play, and he doesn't know the playbook yet.
I guess I should enjoy it until Petrino wastes the fourth pick in the draft on Brian Fracking Brohm.
I get to see one more beating for Cleo Lemon (in London this time!) and then I get to see what John Beck can bring to the table.
It does make Leftwich sound like a decent option.
Cleo Lemon is my stage name!
