Not so fast on McCown
Josh McCown has surprisingly been a trendy pick in the $100,000 challenge this week, with a matchup against the struggling Browns. The only problem: He may not finish the game.
"You could see them both in a game," coach Lane Kiffin said, referring to Daunte Culpepper and Josh McCown.
It certainly would be nice time to introduce Culpepper. Considering Cleveland's play on defense this season, McCown has a good chance for a fast start Sunday. If he doesn't score a touchdown in the first couple series, though, Culpepper could see his first regular season action of the year.

You've gotta use 34 qbs in the challenge, so at some point you're going to have to start multiple players from the same team. Unless you're really excited about the prospects of Brady Quinn or Jamarcus or Kelly Holcomb later this season, you've gotta start McCown. As you've said, he's about to lose his job. This may be the last chance that people have to start him, and he's playing the Browns. It's a no brainer.

Well the regular season is only 12 weeks. Then you start over if you are lucky enough to make the playoffs. So really it's 24 qbs, which changes the strategy quite a bit.

I'm dying here. If it were you, who would you start between Fred Taylor, Derrick Ward and Lendale White?

KevinJones,
D. Ward. No-brainer. All others are splitting time.
