BQBL: Where Are They Now Special!

Here we go, yellow highlights for out of the league, green highlights for moved to another team.

Rob's Team:

  • Broncos
    • Timothy Richard Tebow was traded to the Jets as their backup, made more headlines there by jogging shirtless in the rain than the starting QB did for actually playing real games.  He was let go after the 2012 season and after a brief stint trying out for the Patriots, is no longer in the league.
    • But the Broncos got Peyton Manning so that's the most negative BQBL points ever.
  • Raiders
    • Jason Campbell was moved to Chicago, and then to the Browns, where he seems to have been beaten for the starting job by Brandon Wheeden, and then again beaten for the job when Wheeden went down by Brian Hoyer.  Yikes. 
    • The Raiders are playing Pryor, which seems promising.
    • Carson Palmer moved to Arizona, where I think he's still starting.
  • Colts
    • Curtis Painter is now backing up the other Manning in New York
    • The Colts drafted Andrew Luck, so that's also a bad BQBL bet
  • Dolphins
    • Matt Moore appears to still be on the Dolphins, but the starting job now belongs to Ryan Tannehill
Alison's Team:
  • Cowboys
    • Tony's still Tony.  Threw for 500 yards last Sunday and then lost the game with a pick within the last two minutes.  Overall, that's going to be negative BQBL points, but it continues to hurt.
  • Eagles
    • Vince Young played for her?  Oh, man.  He is so out of the league now.  I miss Vince.
    • Michael Vick is still around.  Still playing questionably and getting hurt. 
  • Browns
    • Remarkably this year, the Browns are doing okay with Wheedon and Hoyer?  Not sure how that's happening
    • Colt McCoy got picked up by San Francisco as a back up
  • Lions
    • Matt Stafford is still their QB.  Still trucking along up there.
Xian's Team:
  • Texans
    • Matt Schaub was a freaking hero for the previous season, and quickly a pariah early in this season.  
    • Matt Leinart is out of the league.
  • Steelers
    • Ben did fine last season, but is somehow stinking up the place so far this year...
  • Ravens
    • Ravens actually won the superbowl and gave Joe Flacco a huge new contract, but they haven't been doing too hot so far this year either...  BQBL needs points (like I said when we were playing) for getting a fat contract and then disappointing. 
  • Seahawks
    • Whaddya know, Tavaris Jackson is still on the Seahawks team, but he's been obscured by Russell Wilson's coolness, I guess.  His photo reflects how unhappy he is about this.
Nan's Team:
  • Panthers
    • Cam Newton is no longer the hot stuff.  Not sure how he's scoring in BQBL points, but we don't hear much out of the Panthers these days. 
  • Jaguars
    • Would you believe they are STILL fielding Blaine Gabbert?  He's still crushing the triple-digit BQBL scores, too!  I checked the website where they tally these things, and they worship him like a god.
    • Luke McCown is backing up in New Orleans
  • Chiefs
    • Tyler Palko seems to be out of the league
    • The Chiefs did a major remodel and got new QB and coach and seem to be doing alright, for once.
  • Buccaneers
    • Josh Freeman is the reason I thought to do a special on where they are now.  He's finally had it in Orlando and their differences caused the team to abruptly let him go mid-season, for which there should be huge BQBL points.  The Vikings just picked him up.
My Team:
  • Redskins
    • Surprise, surprise, Rex Grossman is still lurking as a backup in Washington D.C.! 
    • The Redskins moved up in the draft last year to take RG3, and he's been hit or miss, I feel. 
  • Bills
    • At least they cut Fitzpatrick, but he's shown back up in a backup role in Tennessee.  Still sporting that horrible caveman beard.  And terrible QB play.
    • The Bills have a new rookie QB who is already hurt, so likely they are a good team for BQBL this year.
  • 49ers
    • I picked them because I don't have confidence in Alex Smith, who was traded to St. Louis.  As it turns out, Game Manager is pretty safe stuff in BQBL, so he's not a good pick in either city.
    • Colin Kaepernick is coached by Harbaugh, BQBL numbers are still low there.
  • Bengals
    • Bengals still aren't winning, but Andy Dalton doesn't look like he's scoring high BQBL points still.
