What about Bob?

Whoever thought we'd be sitting here after Week 6 of the 2007 season sitting in awe of what Vinny Testaverde has just done and realizing once and for all that Chad Pennington's days as the Jets starter are effectively over.

It was five years ago at this time that the Joe Montana comparisons were starting when Pennington had replaced Testaverde in the Jets' lineup and embarked on what would turn out to be his career year in leading the Jets back from a 1-4 start.

But now, with Testaverde at age 43 and winning a game just five days after donning a Panthers' uniform, it's Vinny who's the toast of the town and Pennington waiting for the inevitable call that Kellen Clemens will soon be taking over.

Jet of the week: Sorry, there is none. Not for a 1-5 team that hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in six quarters and still has no pass rush.

Giant of the week: We’ll find out tonight. Early prediction: Plaxico Burress.

Player of the week: Tom Brady, QB, Patriots. This is getting scary. Five TDs, zero INTs and the Patriots roll over Dallas to move to 6-0. How good are the Patriots right now? Better than any of their three Super Bowl teams of the decade.

Ageless wonder award: Vinny Testaverde, QB, Panthers. He got a call on Tuesday while playing with his kids. He signed on Wednesday and then suited up on Sunday, throwing for 206 yards and a touchdown in Carolina’s 25-10 win over Arizona. Incredible.

Team in trouble. Jets. At 1-5, this has suddenly become all about a high draft pick in 2008. That and the Kellen Clemens watch.

Dominating performance award: Jaguars 37, Texans 17. Think Jack Del Rio didn’t make the right call anointing David Garrard over Byron Leftwich just days before the regular season opener? Garrard has four straight games with at least a 100.0 rating.

Comeback player of the week: Kyle Boller, QB, Ravens. Good thing the Ravens locked him up for another year, because he might have to be the guy. Filling in for the injured Steve McNair, Boller led the Ravens to a 22-3 win over the hapless Rams.

Emerging player of the week: Derek Anderson, QB, Browns. Haven’t heard much talk about Brady Quinn, have we? Credit Anderson, who threw three more TD passes against the Dolphins yesterday and helped the Browns improve to 3-3.

Stat of the week: Eagles coach Andy Reid is 9-0 in games immediately following the bye week. His latest victim: the Jets.

Explanatory stat of the week: Ok, so Brett Favre set the NFL record for most career interceptions, breaking George Blanda’s mark of 277. But Favre, who now has 279 picks, has attempted more than double the passes Blanda threw. Favre now has 8,470 attempts, to Blanda’s 4,007. (We have a Packers’ homer in our office named Dave, and he’ll be happy we included this stat.)

Coach on the hot seat: Scott Linehan, Rams. Is it possible he gets the boot after just two seasons? If he doesn’t win soon, it might happen.

Rookie of the week: No, make that rookie of the decade. Adrian Peterson not only rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns against the Bears’ vaunted defense, but he ran a kickoff back 53 yards to set up the game-winning field goal in a 34-31 thriller.

Best play: Packers cornerback Charles Woodson’s 57-yard fumble return for touchdown with 2:05 to play in the third quarter. It proved to be the winning score to move Green Bay to 5-1.

Worst play: On fourth-and-1 from the Eagles’ 4 in the final minutes, and with Thomas Jones enjoying his best game of the season, the Jets have Chad Pennington attempt a pass to Laveranues Coles in the endzone. It falls incomplete. Game over.

Fantasy football dream award: LaDainian Tomlinson, RB, Chargers. He’s doing what we’ve expected all along, running for 198 yards and four touchdowns in San Diego’s 28-14 win over the Raid-uhs.

Surprising performance: The Saints’ backs-to-the-wall 28-17 win over the Seahawks on the road. What the hell is wrong with the Seahawks?

They’re almost done award: The Bengals are 1-4 and going nowhere. Marvin Lewis had the captain of a Navy ship come in to address his troops, but even that didn’t work. The Bengals were thrown overboard by the Chiefs. The worst might be yet to come. If they lose next week at home to the Jets, it’s officially over.
