The Bad Quarterback League has twisted the lens through which we watch the NFL. Never before has anyone been so excited for Tarvaris Jackson to take the field, or so shocked when Alex Smith repeatedly completed passes to members of his own team. And certainly, never before has anyone ever said: “Can you please put the Titans and Jaguars on the big screen? I need to see this.”
Here's your Friday whip-around on the stories dominating the headlines and lingering in the margins of the NFL. No pads needed.
By day, Baltimore Ravens rookie receiver Tandon Doss catches passes from Joe Flacco and tries to control the primordial urges triggered by Ray Lewis' motivational talks.

Someone please get this dude a reality show.

Signing a guy whose best moment came in an NFC title game 10 years ago?
