At this point in the season, there remains four teams at the 4-0 mark. While the 1972 Dolphins aren't shaking in their boots quite yet, I bet they watch highlights of the Patriots, Colts and Cowboys games (probably not Green Bay games, although they are currently undefeated as well) each week wondering "Could this be the year?" At this point, if only because the AFC is deemed a tougher conference currently, the Patriots seem to be the front runners in the "Who will go 16-0 Sweepstakes?" this season. Tom Brady and Randy Moss form the best quarterback-receiver duo in the NFL, but not too far behind is the Tony Romo to Terrell Owens connection...and then maybe right behind that is Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne (I think Marvin Harrison is getting old). The great part for the 72 'Fins is that the following games will take place this season:

Let me warn you that when you read the names on the Quarterback section of this column, you're going to start laughing. I make no promises on the success of these players, but they have a chance to help your team in some way or another.

• I declared that Lee Evans is to be considered nothing more than a spot start from this point on, but that one of those spots was in week 4 against the Jets. I've got 72 yards here who say I was right.
• Brandon said that Andre Davis "should be a satisfactory 3rd receiver for your team if you’re looking for a spot-start." 117 yards and a TD is more than satisfactory, if you ask me.
• Brandon said that Roddy White "should fill in nicely as a third WR for the remainder of the season." 64 yards is just OK for a #3 WR, but he looked like the #1 target again and should continue to put up decent numbers.
• Of Daunte Culpepper, Brandon said: "Although at first I’d eye him as a spot-start quarterback, keep him in your sights in case he starts playing well." If you viewed last week as a spot to start him in, you're a lucky son of a bitch and I hate your dog.
