    Quarterback Injuries Catalyze Player Signings

    AP - During week 9 of the 1992 NFL season two key quarterbacks around the league suffered minor injuries that have caused their respective teams to sign free agents. The Buffalo Bills lost Jim Kelly to a pinched nerve, and the Buccaneers had Vinny Testaverde fall to a strained achilles.

    To cope with their loss the Buffalo Bills decided to sign 27 year old Erik Wilhelm (69 Ovr) to a contract. Wilhelm has spent 3 years in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals after originally being drafted by them in the 3rd round of the 1989 NFL draft. However Wilhelm became a cap-casualty player this off-season and left prematurely many thought, from the Bengals franchise. Wilhelm signed a 1 year $550,000 contract with a $70,000 signing bonus to play behind Frank Reich (77 Ovr) on the Bills squad. In all likelihood Jim Kelly will be back within 3 weeks but the Buffalo Bills aren't taking any chances with only one healthy quarterback on the roster.

    Meanwhile the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also had their own insurance policy plan laid out with the signing of 5 year pro, John Fourcade (72 Ovr). Fourcade originally joined the New Orleans Saints in 1987 and had a couple respectable years as a backup. As a rookie he went 2-1 on his 3 game start stretch with 597 yards 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Then in 1989 he started 3 games and had 930 yards 7 touchdowns and 4 interceptions and won all 3 games for the Saints, showing promise. Fourcade is still relatively young at 28 years old so his future in the NFL isn't doomed as a backup, however he'll battle it out with rookie Dave Brown (75 Ovr) for the #2 spot in Tampa. Brown will most likely start but Fourcade will add an established youngster to Tampa's depth chart and at only $750,000, $150,000 of which was a signing bonus, Fourcade's 1 year deal is perfect.

    Injuries have plagued numerous teams around the league, but luckily there have always been a few solid answers in the free agent pools. However the quarterback position is starting to thin out with the signing of Erik Wilhelm and it will be interesting to see how teams cope with any losses at that position in the next few weeks, as well as see how the Bills and Buccaneers deal with the loss of their star quarterbacks.

        Just a suggestion, this is still fantastic. You do not have to post all the injuries every week if you don't want to. Many of them are repeats from the previous week. Unless you want to, i don't mind. Just thought it would be less work for you..

          Thx yankees!

          Yeah Mets (baseball conspiracy? 2x baseball team names ahhhhh) I was thinking that too but decided to just keep it. Since I just keep a continuous excel file it's pretty easy as I just subtract 1 from all the "weeks" for the next week of the injury for the exsisting players before inserting the new injuries. I figured i'd keep it because it helps explain a lot of things sometimes. Like if some people don't go back and read the older weeks they might glance at the most recent week and be like "WTF why did the Cowboys only score 10 points" and then realize that Emmitt Smith has been hurt for some time now, and will continue to be, which shows the team isn't playing at 100%, etc.

              This is actually running on Madden 2004 on the PC heh.

              The latest version I have is 09 on the 360 but it took so long to create the initial rosters that I stuck with it. Plus it's much easier for things like pictures/stats and stuff on the PC than the consoles.

              I'll try to put something up today.

                    Cleveland Signs Kicker Matt Bahr

                    AP The Cleveland Browns felt they nabbed a key component to their team that was missing when they signed veteran kicker and ex-Lion, Eddie Murray to a contract. Murray has been one of the better kickers in the NFL over the past decade and felt the change of scenery might give him new life. However a torn shoulder thought differently.

                    Murray suffered a torn shoulder injury during an attempted tackle on special teams against the Buccaneers. On a Buccaneer kickoff return Murray tore his shoulder and was carted off the field. Doctors report that the injury could take around ten weeks to heal and because of that punter Rick Tuten had to kick 3 field goals that day. With Murray out for an extended period of time the Browns were left without a kicker and had to scramble, but didn’t need to for too long as Matt Bahr had been waiting for this opportunity for awhile.

                    Matt Bahr (81 Ovr) is a 13 year veteran and was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 6th round of the 1979 NFL Draft. He spent a couple years with the Steelers, part of a season with the 49ers, and then the other half of 1981 with the Cleveland Browns. He played for the Browns from 1981 to 1989 before he left and joined the Giants where he kicked the past couple of seasons. Bahr spent the past off-season trying to find a new team but never settled on one and decided to wait it out to get the contract that he felt he deserved. The Packers and Giants both low-balled him with offers but Bahr didn’t want to play second fiddle and wanted the opportunity to start on a team. Like every year a surprise injury occurs to a top kicker and the team needed a replacement, this year it was the Cleveland Browns, his old team where he made his name for himself. The Browns signed 36 year old Matt Bahr to 1 year $870,000 contract with a $110,000 signing bonus. Bahr will play during the 10 week period that Eddie Murray will be out before he will be replaced by a healthy Murray.

                    This 10 week audition time will be what Matt Bahr will need to show other teams he’s still capable of playing in this league at his old age. However if he goes unsigned once again this off-season then Bahr might have to take serious consideration to retirement.

                        Alonzo's Put a Spell On You

                        AP - Alonzo Spellman, a name that is slowly making a name for himself in the NFL despite not being wanted by the team that drafted him this season. Spellman was merely at the right place at the right time in what is turning out to be one of the biggest feel good stories of the year.

                        Alonzo Spellman was originally projected to be a 2nd round selection as the 4th best defensive end on the boards behind Robert Porcher, Marco Coleman, and Keith Hamilton. However off the field issues had plagued Spellman this year as he dealt with his diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

                        Spellman stopped taking his medication and ran into problems with the law. Most notably, he had a manic episode on July 23, 1991 in which he disrupted a flight from Cincinnati to Philadelphia. Spellman initially suggested that the flight was going to crash, then became verbally abusive to other passengers and threatened members of the flight crew. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing. Spellman was released, but then destroyed some property at his brother's home and was taken to a psychiatric hospital. He was later arrested on charges of interference with a flight crew. Although doctors confirmed that he had bipolar disorder, Spellman was determined to be legally sane and spent 18 months in federal prison, before he was released and declared just in time for the NFL draft, missing out on his senior year. (fictional liberty with the date of this incident).

                        As a result his stock dropped, and teams overlooked him because of his character issues including the Seahawks and Cowboys who drafted Chuck Smith and Roy Barker respectively ahead of Spellman despite being lesser prospects out of college. However one team felt they could not ignore his talent when he was still available with the 27th selection of the 4th round in the 1992 NFL Draft, the Houston Oilers. The Oilers took a gamble after selecting Shane Dronett, another person ranked lower than Spellman the round right before as insurance in case Spellman didn't work out. After arriving at camp Spellman worked hard for Houston but the Oilers soon began to realize that they needed to make some cuts to keep their team together. As a result Spellman became a cap casualty before he even had the chance to play his first NFL start. Spellman was cut by the Oilers who felt their defensive ends Sean Jones, William Fuller, Robert Young, and Shane Dronett were solid enough.

                        Spellman waded around in the free agent pool before he settled on signing with the Los Angeles Raiders. The Raiders needed a young upstart defensive end to help solidify their aging line with Howie Long (32), and Greg Townsend (31). With only Anthony Smith a 25 year old backup (65 overall) also on the squad the Raiders were in desperate need of some line help, and Spellman was the man that would heal them. Spellman signed a 6 year $10.14 million dollar contract with the Raiders and was slated to play the backup role to Raiders star lineman Greg Townsend (97 Ovr) for the season. Yet once again another opportunity came knocking for Spellman.

                        During the regular season Greg Townsend suffered an injury that would end up being more severe than originally predicted. According to team doctors Townsend would end up missing the majority of the regular season. Although it was bittersweet Alonzo Spellman felt he could get the job done.

                        Opposite left end Howie Long, Alonzo Spellman soon became a force to be reckoned with. Despite only playing a short amount of time so far Alonzo Spellman has already had an amazing 8 sack season for the Raiders, including a huge 2 tackle, 2 sack, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, 1 deflection, and 1 safety game in the Raiders 15-13 victory over the Cleveland Browns in week 7. In the last 4 weeks Spellman has had just as many sacks and has 8 so far this year. However there's still another problem Spellman must face in the near future to continue his success.

                        In the next couple of weeks it appears that Greg Townsend will be healthy enough to return to the Raiders starting lineup. However the question is, do the Raiders want him too? Spellman has the hot hand right now and is doing an amazing job of grabbing the opponents quarterbacks alongside Howie Long, and can the team afford to loose this advantage by having a 1-tackle-so-far-this-season Townsend return. Only time will tell how the Raiders will resolve this issue, but for the meantime you can be sure that Spellman is making the most of the opportunities he's being given.

                            49er Duo Both Set to Move Up All-Time Boards Next Week?

                            AP - Next week's game against divison rival Phoenix Cardinals, may turn out to be a very personal game for both 49ers quarterback Joe Montana, and wide receiver Jerry Rice. Luckily for them this historic moment will occur at home in candle-stick park and not on the road as Rice attempts to become the all-time leading touchdown receiver, and Montana the 2nd all time touchdown passer.

                            Montana and Rice have had an outstanding season after the 49ers tumultuous 0-4 start to the year. Since then the 49ers have rallied and gone 7 and 1 to give them a 7-5 record, just 1 game behind the Cardinals. So not only does this game have records on the line, it also will swing the division lead in favor of the 49ers with a victory over the current leading Cardinals. The 49ers will need production from their two offensive stars if they hope to overtake Phoenix.

                            Jerry Rice only needs 1 touchdown to surpass Don Hutson for 2nd all-time with 99 touchdown on their careers. However the bigger number he's looking at is ex-Seahawk Steve Largent's 100 touchdown receptions. If Rice catches two touchdowns this week against the Cardinals secondary he will be the all-time leading touchdown receiver, no easy feat. So far this season Jerry Rice has had 67 catches for exactly 1,000 yards and 7 receiving touchdowns. Barring any injury there's no doubt he will continue his streak of pro bowls with his great performance so far. However Rice's game will depend on whether or not Montana can get the protection he needs to continue making the throws that he's made look so easy all season long.

                            Joe Montana also has his own personal goals for next week against the Cardinals, and thats to throw two touchdowns during regulation to put him as the 2nd best all-time passing touchdown leader in NFL history. Montana will be going up against history next week as he attempts to take down one of the biggest names the NFL has ever seen in Johnny Unitas. Unitas' 290 touchdowns was only surpassed by Fran Tarkenton (and decimated with 342) in the passing era, and now Montana is setting his sights for it as well. Against a rough Cardinals passing defense Montana will have to evade defenders and get his way to paydirt to move up the all-time rankings. Last time the 49ers played the Cardinals a mere two weeks ago the 49ers ended up demolishing the Cardinals 32 to 20, and Montana threw 3 touchdowns in that came, so it's easily conceivable that he will get two next week.

                            49er fans and football fans in general have a lot to look forward to in next weeks niners, cardinals, game. Whether you like San Francisco or not you have to at leats acknowledge that you are watching greatness take place. There's no doubt that a tandem like this will not exist for many years to come. Montana to Rice, in infamy.

                              Yeah last year at 15-1 with Bo Jackson they were amazing, super surprised the Raiders robbed them in the AFC Champ game to get to the big one.

                              This year however Jackson's slowed down a little, but the team is still dangerous. This weeks 34-9 victory over those same Raiders is just the proof needed. I was actually about to type up an article about the Oilers and Lions both being the hot teams right now with 6-game win streaks.
