Drew Magary’s Thursday Afternoon NFL Dick Joke Jamboroo runs every Thursday during the NFL season. Email Drewhere.Earlier this year the Wall Street Journal’sKevin Clarkwrote a piece detailing the quarterback crisis in the NFL andI rebutted that article, basically saying that most NFL quarterbacks have always been terrible, and that the position has always been in crisis, and that the crisis is what makes you appreciate passers who HAVE mastered the hardest position in sports.I was wrong. This season has been a fucking disaster for quarterbacks, and it shows no signs of getting any better. Every young passer is getting crushed. Every traded quarterback (like Nick Foles) has been a bust. Andre..>> view originalThis grilled cheese restaurant founded by Five Guys franchisees is...

By Sam McPhersonIs it time to start writing the requiem for the 2015 San Francisco 49ers. Apparently, yes, as the team raised two white flags this week in surrender to its traumatic 2-6 season. With the Atlanta Falcons coming to town for the last game before the much-needed bye week, the 49ers benched starting quarterback and one-time hero Colin Kaepernick; and they traded former Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis to the Denver Broncos. The offense, already the worst one in the NFL in terms of points and yards, is going to be even uglier now.New starting QB Blaine Gabbert isn’t so much a solution to the offense’s problems as he is a mere change of pace, and we shouldn’t expect much from him.
