Wow, what huge news. I, for one, am truly amazed that they walked away unscathed. I mean, I know they are professional football players, and couldn't possibly be in better shape.....but when a CAR comes away with "minor damage", I mean, just think what would have happened to the players if they hadn't been in that giant piece of protective metal when they got hit.....it really makes you think.

Wait until he gets hit by Derrick Brooks, then we'll see if he's left uninjured

The article failed to mention the driver of the other car : Joey Harrington.

Wow! Now that is a story, because there was some question about their QBs being OK before the crash. LOL>
No, I think Ryan will be a very good QB and definitely the right choice.

OK, what kind of coach lets all three of his QBs ride in the same car? You don't see the president, vice president and speaker of the house in the same vehicles do you?

The Joey Comment was funny. But true to his on the field performance he only made a minor impact! Ryan will get hit constantly this season. I just hope he does not turn into Joey or David Carr!

Hooah05, Finneran is a WR.

That will be a cakewalk compared to the damage Ryan's gonna recieve this season behind that suspect offensive line.
