Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman winner Sam Bradford has thrown 48 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season. He's also a better NFL prospect than Colt McCoy or Tim Tebow, writes Dan Pompei.

Q: Hey Dan, is Herm Edwards going to be around for another season in K.C.?
— Chuck, Junction City, Kan.

A: You can’t ever take anything for granted with a 2-11 team, but I would think so.

It would be hypocritical of Chiefs management to blame Edwards for their record. They knew where they were headed when they decided to purge veterans and rebuild with draft choices in the offseason. The Chiefs need to give Edwards time to develop the youngsters and turn it around.

Q: Do you think the NFL will suspend Plaxico for a season like they did to Pacman, or nearly the entire Bengals team? Will there be equal treatment?
— Ray Stefl, Denton, Texas

A: Without knowing all of the facts in the file the NFL has kept on Plaxico Burress, its difficult to say just how long he may be suspended for.

But I would say there is a very good chance the NFL will deal with him sternly. Since Roger Goodell has been the commissioner, players who cross the line repeatedly simply have not gotten away with it.

Q: So when will they ultimately decide on the Williams boys from Minn. about they're suspensions?
— Bruce Walters

A: No one knows, except that it won’t come before Friday. It’s completely in the hands of U.S. District Court judge Paul Magnuson.

It is obvious Kevin and Pat Williams and their attorneys think they have a strong case, otherwise challenging the ruling might not have been worth taking the risk of being suspended at an inopportune time—like right before the playoffs.

A: Section 4, Article 1 of the NFL rule book states, “A defender must pull up when a runner begins a feet-first slide.” It also says the play is over the instant the runner’s feet hit the ground.

The rulebook does not differentiate between quarterbacks and other players.
