Week 11 breathed life back into Brady Quinn’s career – I think. I mean, can we really take anything out of shredding the Lions? We’ll touch on that shootout as well as all the other eyebrow raisers below.

Basically, this is a list of guys that I looked at their numbers and said “Really. Why?”

THE GOOD
Tom Santi – 6 catches, 80 yards: He was only a factor because Gijon Robinson was out. This will be Santi’s best game of the season.
Terrell Owens – 9 catches, 197 yards, 1 TD: This is virtually unexplainable. Ryan Fitzpatrick’s weak arm and penchant for Lee Evans was supposed to limit Owens. Let’s see him do it again before we call him anything more than a WR3.
Mario Manningham – 6 catches, 126 yards: It’s starting to look like there’s enough room for Manningham and Hakeem Nicks in some matchups.
Kevin Boss – 5 catches, 76 yards, 2 TD: He’s probably the Giants best red zone option, but they’re just realizing it now.
Brady Quinn – 304 passing yards, 4 TD: Virtually all of the stats in this game are of the “let’s see him do it again variety.”
Rock Cartwright – 140 total yards: Meet your newest starting running back. Ladell Betts and Clinton Portis don’t seem close to returning.
Laurence Maroney – 77 rushing yards, 2 TD: He’s running over people and executing at the goal line. Hard to see him taking a backseat to Sammy Morris right out of the gate.
Mike Tolbert – 58 yards, 1 TD: Strict garbage time.

THE BAD
Lance Long – 2 catches, 37 yards: We were expecting more with Dwayne Bowe suspended, but it looks like he’s splitting time with Mark Bradley and Bobby Wade.
Dallas Clark – 1 catch, 3 yards, 1 TD: Nothing was wrong with Dallas. It was just a concerted effort by the Ravens to take him out of the game. He’s fine.
Lee Evans – 1 catch, 15 yards: He simply fell victim to the T.O. show and is still a WR3.
Roddy White – 4 catches, 45 yards: Nothing wrong with the knee, he just got blanketed by Corey Webster.
Roy E. Williams - Zero catches: The Cowboys went run heavy for much of the game, but Roy was not open. When he was, he had a drop.
Steve Breaston – Zero catches: Kurt Warner going down didn’t help, but this looks like just a plain fluke.
Braylon Edwards – 1 catch, 10 yards: Mark Sanchez can take a lot of the blame here as he made one poor decision after another.
Brandon Marshall – 3 catches, 26 yards: Chris Simms set a really bad tone and the Broncos never recovered.
