In less then a Month 3 of the NFL Top 5 QB (Ben, Brees, Luck) from last season and or 4 SB Winning QB (Foles, Eli) are no longer Starting for their Teams. Its Week 3!

 

Ben, Brees, and Eli are pretty much done. Much like celebrity deaths or the Rams scoring points in Super Bowls, these things tend to happen in 3s. I think everyone else is safe.

Just thinking Eli Manning's W/L record is sitting right at 116-116, but also so is former Raiders QB Jim Plunkett at 72-72. Both have two Super Bowl rings. Obviously, Eli's career has racked up more passing statistics, but I just thought it was interesting.

Random thought:

Why are false starts a penalty if the offensive lineman immediately gets back to his set position before the ball is snapped? If the defense can move, surely the offensive lineman should at least be given the leeway of false starting and then getting back to their set position?

Because that would motivate OLs to do this constantly just to draw DL guys off for penalties.  They'd face no risk themselves, so why not do it all the time and pick up a ton of offside/neutral zone penalties?
