There is no formula for when you change quarterbacks. I don't think there's a truism that relates to putting in the No. 2 quarterback. It varies from team to team. Sometimes one quarterback is in there and has been strugging, so a coach tries to do something to regenerate the production. Or maybe you see so much of one passer and say, "Allright, it's time to look at the other one." Sometimes a change is made because one QB is hurting a little bit. If a coach feels it should be made or worth the experiment to do it, it's up to him. If it works out, he's brilliant. If not, then why create a QB controversy?

The AFC East gets a little tighter
Troy Brown's touchdown in overtime put the Patriots (and everyone else) back in the AFC East race.
What a finish to the Patriots-Dolphins game down in Miami. As I have said before, missing a short-yardage field goal is inexcusable, and that's exactly what Dave Wannstedt is probably telling his special teams players after missing two of them, both of which could have won the game. I realize Olindo Mare's kick in overtime was off of the infield dirt at Pro Player Stadium, but it was still very makeable. George Allen used to tell me, "Believe me, three games are going to be decided by some vital kicking game plays." Well, this was one of them for New England and Miami.
After that terrible start, the Patriots have come back very respectably. Now this division is anybody's game -- even for the 2-4 Jets. Just like last year, we can't close the book on anybody in this division. The Jets started 0-4 a year ago and won it! With quarterback Chad Pennington coming back soon to help the Jets, it makes for an intriguing storyline for the rest of the season.
