<pubDate><![CDATA[Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 EDT]]></pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Nowadays teams draft rookie quarterback and just plug them in and expect results. But until Roethlisberger in 2004 teams didn't do it at all. But throwing for 17 touchdowns and getting his team to the AFC title game by completing over 66 percent of his passes was pretty special. Before you ask how ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I remember Fran Tarkenton telling a story once about a game he used to play with his football cards and Van Buren was his biggest star player. After hearing that story, the seven-year-old in me wanted more. I wound up learning a lot about him, and I think I even wrote a book report on him in ...]]></description>

<pubDate><![CDATA[Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 EDT]]></pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[The year was 1989 and I was in college, so my recollection of it is fuzzy at best, but Sanders couldn't be stopped. No one was ready for his combination of speed and stop-on-a-dime moves. More than 1,400 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns later, it was safe to say we were witnessing the beginning of ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact he started just 12 games, Taylor ran for 1,223 yards and 14 touchdowns in 1998, then proceeded to get hurt and not return to action until 2004. OK, it just seemed like that. He first got the job on a rainy Sunday that included a 50-yard touchdown run after James Stewart got hurt ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I know Edgerrin James had a huge rookie campaign, but Manning's 3,739 yards and 26 touchdowns was the gold standard for rookie QBs until Cam Newton came along. I know, those pesky28 picks have you being a wet blanket on Peyton, but back then, when the exchange rate was better, those 28 INTs were ...]]></description>

<pubDate><![CDATA[Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 EDT]]></pubDate>
<description><![CDATA[Maybe this says something about the state of the Bengals since, well, their inception, but it's so rare for a receiver to come in and have a 1,000-yard season like Green did anywhere, much less Cincinnati -- who was breaking in a rookie QB, too. Throw in the fact that Cris Collinsworth started 10 ...]]></description>
