Jersey Tourney - Opening Matches - QB's.

Boomer vs. Kenny: I was in Junior High in 1988, I had a Welcome to the Jungle Sweatshirt with the Jim Borgman cartoon on it. Boomer must advance.

Carson vs. 2008 1st Pick: Lately we haven'd had the best luck with 1st picks...hmmm Dave Pollack and Chris Perry, and Leon was solid at the close but shaky in the start last year. Its the unshaven one by a mile.

Akili Smith vc David Klingler: ( There was a last minute substitution as KiJana tripped down his stairs on the way to the match and couldn't compete) I had to do some reseach on this one. I remember Klingler being dismally bad, and while Akili had a reputation for being stupid, he did have some good games. It turns out they both tried to back up Brett Favre post Bengals and both washed out. Klingler was out of football by 1998. Get this -Akili hung around in various organization, finally getting released by the Calgary CFL team in 2007! Maybe he was too stupid to know when to hang it up. But for sheer longevity, and those few brilliant flashes, one against the Browns ( and their dud QB Tim Couch) I gotta give it to Akili.
