Injuries often give rise to new stars. It's appropriate that "fans" now dig a little deeper to figure out who the next all-star QB will be--instead of following the crowd like sheep

As for the fans' perspective on the non-fantasy game, this hurts. I'm not a Pats fan, but Tom Brady has done a hell of a lot for the game of football since replacing Drew Bledsoe. I feel bad for New England fans, but this is exactly why they have Matt Cassell. I say give him a chance. Forget about Tim Rattay or Chris Simms. Use the talent you've been forming for years.

Agreed, Red. This type of situation is what gives fantasy football its allure. Without injuries to established fantasy juggernauts, there would be no Tom Brady in the first place. The smart owners will look either further down the Pats' depth chart and rumor wires or into the free agent pool. It's only week one...
