What’s the most any of the other quarterbacks can do during training camp? Preseason? Teams like to win, and not gamble by testing the other quarterbacks. ArizonaSimilar to the 49ers, only we’re not talking about a first overall pick but a 10th overall pick. All quarterbacks who have started at least one game, and all played not excellently, but well enough to to be able to compete for the job.But who will probably start? Yes, the guy that has the most experience and has won the most games, and (sort of) took Tampa Bay to the playoffs, Jeff Garcia So no, there is nocontroversy here. Hard to do that when you don’t have T.O anymore.And who else is there? Luke McCown, Brad Gradkowski, and Chris Simms. Though Jeff Gracia seems pretty consistent, meaning he’s not losing games with bad quarterbacking, but neither is he throwing three-TD, 250+ yards per game. So let’s look at some possible QB controversies around the league. Tampa BayThey’ve got more quarterbacks than most high-school quarterback camps. We usually see this when the starter is injured and hasn’t been playing that well, and the second-string QB finally gets his chance to shine. When I received an email from Zander asking me to do an article about the quarterback controversy going on with the 49ers, I thought, “what quarterbackcontroversy?”I’m serious, whatcontroversy?There’s only acontroversy when a former starter is threatened by a backup who has proven himself to play just as well or even better.

They have experience on the court, to get them through games without the pressure getting to them.
The also have valuable experience off the court, they were in this situation last year and know how to manage their bodies, and know how to prepare for a long playoff series.That’s one excuse people have been using, when giving reasons why the Lakers will win the series.But at the end of the day their is only one reason.The Lakers are a better team, it’s as simple as that.If they play how they have been, and don’t crumble under the pressure of finals basketball, they will come out on top of this series and be playing either Boston or Detroit in the NBA finals.. All these things have got them to the Western Conference Finals, and should get them to the NBA Finals.When looking at the stats the Lakers look much better than the the Spurs, but that is obviously not the case.The Spurs are the defending champs, they have the best power forward to ever play the game, a great young point guard in Tony Parker and that ball of energy Manu Ginobili. They are going to take some beating.But, its not something I would put past the Lakers at all. The Lakers have the the MVP of the league, one of the best coaches of all time, and perhaps the best bench in the league despite not showing it in the playoffs. 170 SystemsPam Kukla, Copyright Business Wire 2009.
