There are a lot of things going wrong with the New York Jets' 2007 season. Their pass defense through the first four games is on pace to be by far the worst of any team during the DVOA era. The run defense only looks good when placed in comparison to the pass defense. Thomas Jones has failed to upgrade the anemic ground game. But the most visible problem is at quarterback, where Chad Pennington's decision making in recent weeks has not been good enough to compensate for his limited arm strength. With the Jets stuck at 1-4, is it time to put in Kellen Clemens?

Michael David Smith's FOX article this week looks at five surprise teams and asks how good they can be the rest of the year. It won't surprise FO readers that he's high on the Packers, moderate on the Bucs, and pessimistic about the Lions, Raiders, and Browns.

Sunday, Brett Favre will probably pass Dan Marino for first place on the all-time touchdown list. And then, Sunday, or perhaps next week or the week after, he will pass George Blanda for first place on the all-time interception list. So how good is Favre, historically? Is he a great quarterback, or a good one who stuck around a long time?
