1 |
Peyton Manning |
With a questionable run game, Manning could be passing more
than ever. |
2 |
Carson Palmer |
With Palmer's talent, he'll quickly make you forget about
his injury. |
3 |
Tom Brady |
One of the most reliable QBs in the game has two rookie
weapons now. |
4 |
Daunte Culpepper |
Culpepper can redeem himself on one of the hottest teams in
the league. |
5 |
Jake Plummer |
Was last season a fluke? The addition of Walker should
provide a boost. |
6 |
Eli Manning |
How does he improve this year? Cutting down on the 4 INT
games. |
7 |
Marc Bulger |
Without injuries, the Rams are still a powerhouse offense. |
8 |
Kurt Warner |
With a proven running back, Warner has all the targets he
needs. |
9 |
Jake Delhomme |
With the addition of Keyshawn, he won't focus on Smith
too often. |
10 |
Drew Bledsoe |
Terrell Owens will definitely replace Keyshawn, and then
some. |
11 |
Matt Hasselbeck |
He lost a touchdown machine in Jurevicius last year, but
Jackson is back. |
12 |
Brett Favre |
With how often Favre still guns it, he'll put up TDs
without question. |
13 |
Trent Green |
He usually throws a lot, but this year the focus shifts to
the run even more. |
14 |
Phillip Rivers |
Gates and Tomlinson will ease the youngster along smoothly. |
15 |
Drew Brees |
He's taking on a challenge with a chance to revive yet
another team. |
16 |
Donovan McNabb |
He's the best QB ranked this low. His WRs are the ones that
need proven. |
17 |
Ben Roethlisberger |
Big Ben is meant to manage a game, not light it up left and
right. |
18 |
Steve McNair |
You can't argue with the Ravens moves, but his injuries
remain a concern. |
19 |
Mark Brunell |
To repeat last year's performance, he just needs to play it
safely again. |
20 |
Byron Leftwich |
We know he can gun it, but will Garrard be breathing down
his neck? |
21 |
Chris Simms |
The youngster continues to impress, but the Bucs are
defense-oriented. |
22 |
Brad Johnson |
He makes the necessary throws when the Vikings need him. |
23 |
Charlie Frye |
Losing Edwards hurts, but having Winslow and Jurevicius
helps. |
24 |
Jon Kitna |
He'll be better than Harrington ever was, but this offense
needs work. |
25 |
Billy Volek |
Volek can light it up, but Vince Young is bound to see some
playing time. |
26 |
Aaron Brooks |
The connection with Moss has potential, but can Brooks
really execute? |
27 |
Michael Vick |
*sigh* If only Vick could pass. |
28 |
Chad Pennington |
*sigh* If only his shoulder could stay healthy. |
29 |
David Carr |
Give the Texans credit for sticking with Carr, but he needs
a big year. |
30 |
Rex Grossman |
The Bears are all about running and defense, not passing. |
31 |
Buffalo Bills QB |
Holcomb would do the best, but the passing game is nothing
special. |
32 |
Alex Smith |
It'll still be a learning year for Smith. |
33 |
Vince Young |
He'll get a chance to play some time, and it'll be fun to
watch. |
34 |
Patrick Ramsey |
We know Pennington won't make it through all 16 games. |
35 |
Kyle Boller |
We know McNair won't make it through all 16 games. |
36 |
David Garrard |
If Leftwich begins to struggle, Garrard will pose a
challenge. |
37 |
Joey Harrington |
Culpepper's health may keep him out to start the season. |
38 |
Charlie Batch |
If Big Ben suffers a minor injury, Batch can step in and
win. |
39 |
Josh McCown |
Kitna will likely win the job, but McCown still has a
chance. |
40 |
Matt Leinart |
If Warner gets hurt, Leinart will keep the job. |
