Has anyone heard any branch of the media talk about the Chargers and Bills decisions to keep only 2 QB's on the 53 man roster? A third team, the Falcons, will only have 2 available for the next 6 weeks or however long Vick is out, as they decided against signing someone for that period of time.

Anyway, my point is that I think most of us were in shock when both Hamdan and Wuerffel were cut, not nearly as much as the release of Watson, but still shocked nonetheless. I don't think any of us envisioned only 2 QB's on opening day roster.

I think the media was primed to pounce on this until the Chargers and Bills announced there moves as well. I would view it as hypocrisy for the media to only talk about the Redskins decision to do this when 2 other teams are also doing it and I was wondering if anyone had heard or read the critics tearing us down over this?

Yeah, there was even an article in our own Washington Post that claimed the Redskins were the only team in the NFL to have two QBs on the final roster, when right below it was news from other teams that included the fact that we actually had company.

Drives me nuts.
