Chris Weinke, Carolina Panthers: Yes, the quality is about what you’d expect from a photo of Bigfoot. To be fair, though, remaining Weinke fans are much tougher to find than Sasquatch. (Found by Bugs in Charlotte.)

by Jim Henry Filed under: Florida State TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Chris Weinke is fearful. Weinke, who finished his Florida State career with a 32-3 record as a starter, leading the Seminoles to a national championship in 1999 and, at age 28, becoming the oldest player in history to win the Heisman Trophy, has heard the latest -- and most powerful -- criticism directed at FSU head coach Bobby Bowden. "My...

(Guest post by Jordi Scrubbings of The Serious Tip.) For those of us who remember those long ago days when the Seminoles ruled the gridiron, we remember the connection between Florida State and Cretin-Derham Hall, a private high school in St. Paul, Minnesota. Cretin-Derham was the high school of Chris Weinke, field general of the 1999 [...]

TALLAHASSEE — For perhaps the first time since the Chris Weinke days, Florida State is entering the season without a quarterback controversy. Christian Ponder, the redshirt junior who started all 13 of the Seminoles' games a season ago, is the definitive starter.

Although he hasn't even played a down, there has been a lot written about David Shinskie. This Fanhouse post deals with his transition to the structure of college football. What I found interesting in the piece though was Chris Weinke talking about the mechanics of throwing and adjusting back to the game. The first real test will be how the QBs react in the scrimmages. Most recall that the scrimmages...

My earlier comment about Shinskie raised more questions than it answered. When I said "less enthused" about Shinskie it wasn't so much about him. It was more about him being our last-minute savior. Now take this all with a grain of salt given that it is secondhand, and Shinskie has still only been involved with unofficial team workouts. Early word is that he's a good athlete, but certainly...

Fun first Sunday, right? New England 17, Kansas City 10: The replacement options: Jake Plummer, Daunte Culpepper, Chris Simms, or that fossil Vinny T. How about putting out an APB for three former Heisman Trophy winners: Eric Crouch, Chris Weinke, and Jason White. Yes, all three of those guys actually won Heismans. New York Jets 20, Miami [...]
