I don't believe that follows

Snap Judgment is a new espn.com feature this year in which a panel "experts" take a look at the NFL QBs' performances from the day before. It's not bad, but being, as so many espn.com features are, founded on a premise of second-guessing, I anticipate much fodder from this column for SRAM.

A couple of idiotic comments from Patrick Hruby were the most "outstanding" features of today's Snap Judgment; his theme seemed to be complete non-sequiters. For example, when asked if Michael Vick was overrated, or if the Falcons should just move him to running back, Hruby responds:

Move Vick to running back? Great idea -- that is, so long as you're jonesing for the Matt Schaub Era to get under way. And if that's the case, well, recall that certain high-ranking government officials were slam-dunk sure that grateful Iraqis would greet American military forces with flowers and chocolates.

Huh? Where the heck did that come from? Can I grind that axe for you any more, Patrick?

The next question was, "How far is Chad Pennington behind Tom Brady?"

Hruby: Pete Sampras was once asked about the difference between him and one-time rival Pat Rafter. His reply? "About 10 Grand Slams." So there's my answer on Pennington-Brady: About two Super Bowls.

This is a non-sequiter of a different sort, and perhaps not quite as obvious as the last one, assuming there are people out there stupid enough to think that Sampras' quote actually has any bearing whatsoever on the respective merits of Pennington and Brady.

But for the sake of explicitness, I will go ahead and point out that tennis is an individual sport, whereas in football there are about 47 other guys who have some say in how far a team goes. Like I say, an obvious point, but not a day goes by without some moronic reporter forgetting this basic fact in his zeal to crown Athlete A over Athlete B in the pantheon of all-time greats.

Hruby concludes his sterling performance in today's discussion by pronouncing himself unable to name a single QB (besides the Untouchable Brady, of course) whom he would rather have in the last two minutes than Byron Leftwich. Yes, I'm serious. Look it up. Major Day-After Syndrome stuff.

(Other panel members were, however, able to dig deep and come up with such obscure candidates as McNabb, Favre, McNair, Culpepper, and, grudgingly, the un-PC Peyton Manning.)
