NFL Picks Week 4: Curtis Painter and 3 Quarterbacks Who Will Implode in Losses

"It's a quarterback-driven league."

We hear that phrase time and time again and while it's been beaten to death, it still holds true. This week, there are a few teams with a liability at quarterback who will be fed a loss because their signal caller will throw the game away.

Here are three quarterbacks who will implode in a losing effort this week.

Curtis Painter

A Monday Night Football game on the road isn't exactly the sort of game the Colts would have like to entrust Curtis Painter with. It would be a tough enough task for Peyton Manning, but Painter stands no chance.

He's erratic at best and grossly inexperienced. The offense is out of sync and though the Colts pushed the Steelers last week, Painter's inevitable meltdown will force them to look like the bottom feeders that they are without Manning under center.

Matt Cassel

When the run game is elite, Matt Cassel doesn't look bad. He's never going to be a top-notch quarterback, but let's not forget that he took the Chiefs to the playoffs and an AFC West title just a season ago.

The fact of the matter is, the Kansas City run game is no longer feared. Cassel and the Chiefs are going up against a winless Vikings team with quarterback issues of their own, but even the fans at Arrowhead won't be enough to bail out Cassel and the Chiefs this week.

Chad Henne

Don't be fooled, Chad Henne is nothing short of terrible. Brandon Marshall is starting to get irked and Henne has failed to throw more touchdowns than picks in both games since the opener against New England.

The Chargers will expose Henne for the lackluster and inaccurate quarterback he is. Henne isn't the answer and the winless Dolphins will tack on another loss with him at the helm. The good news is that they are another loss closer to nabbing Andrew Luck.
