Quarterback Carousal

After week six there has been notable a few of notable changes at the quarterback position. Donovan McNabb was traded to the Washington Redskins after the 2009 season with the Philadelphia Eagles. After just playing 13 games Donovan McNabb was benched for Rex Grossmen. McNabb was benched after 13 games and threw for 275 completions, 3,377, 14 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. After being benched in Washington, McNabb found himself being shipped to another team when the season was over. McNabb was traded to the Minnesota Vikings and following only six weeks of the 2011 season McNabb is being benched yet again. It was announced by Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier that the rookie quarterback Christian Ponder will get the start this Sunday against the Greenbay Packers. The Vikings drafted Christian Ponder with their first pick in the 2011 NFL draft. Another surprise is Carson Palmer will be getting the start for the Raiders on Sunday against the Chiefs after they acquired him in a trade with Cincinnati. This trade took place after starting quarterback for the Raiders Jason Campbell went down in last weeks game with a broken collarbone. Also this is Jason Campbell's last year on his contract which could mean Carson is here to stay.
