QB Rankings

Name Notes
Aaron Rodgers Excellent passer but also adds 50 fpts a year with his rushing; improved o-line; consistent in his first 2 years as starter; GB schedule is 5.9% harder than last year for a QB.
Drew Brees Excellent in last 4 yrs; won't attempt 600+ passes anymore since Saints now have a running game; o-line has lots of depth.
Tom Brady Has been consistant since 2005 if we forget injury year - safe pick; was dominant in 2007 and has very good WRs - high upside; NE schedule is 7.7% easier than last year for a QB.
Peyton Manning Top 6 QB every year since 1999 - very safe pick; hasn't had any great years other than 2004 - less upside than other top QBs.
Matt Schaub Great stats in past 3 yrs; o-line is young and deep; don't forget he missed 5 games in both 2007 and 2008 - risky pick.
Tony Romo Not as consistant as other top QBs; age of o-line is a concern; Cowboys are not as good an offense as they were a few years ago.
Jay Cutler Martz offenses avg 590 pass att. and 7.8 Y/A in last 7 yrs (min. of 550 and 7.1); Kitna was top 12 in '06 and '07 - Cutler has huge upside; CHI schedule is 5.8% harder than last year for a QB.
Kevin Kolb He played very well in his 2 starts last year; o-line could struggle early in the year; high potential but unproven so be careful.
Philip Rivers TD/Att and Yds/Att were out of the ordinary in last 2 yrs, both numbers will drop; no Jackson and no McNeill for now - VERY risky.
Joe Flacco Good improvement in 2nd year; good offense but few pass TDs in 2009 - should change; added Boldin; o-line is good and deep.
Eli Manning TD/Att and Yds/Att increased out of nowhere after 4 consistent seasons - both should decrease; o-line is same as always; NYG schedule is 3.4% easier than last year for a QB.
Brett Favre Avg of 6.7 Y/A in last 4 seasons after having over 7.5 Y/A; hasn't missed a game in 17 yrs; MIN schedule is 5.4% harder than last year for a QB.
David Garrard TD/Att and Yds/Att were low in past 2 years - both should go up; improved pass protection; gets 45 fpts a year from his rushing.
Matt Ryan O-Line is much improved over last year; has the team to be as good as 2008 but with 100 more pass attempts; ATL schedule is 6.3% easier than last year for a QB.
Carson Palmer Addition of Owens and Bryant could turn them into a passing team; good and improved o-line; good upide and safe bet to improve over last year.
Donovan McNabb Moves to Washington after 11 yrs in Philly; played 16 games twice in last 8 yrs; doesn't have a great surrounding cast.
Ben Roethlisberger Top 20 QB in each of his first 6 games; will miss first 4-6 games of the season; could be worth the upside with another top 16 QB; PIT schedule is 4.0% harder than last year for a QB.
Vince Young Lost his starting job in 2008 and could still be suspended - risky pick; his rushing gives him a 50 pts edge over most other QBs.
Alex Smith Impressive in 2nd half of last year; improved o-line with good depth; hadn't done anything in first 3 yrs; WRs are same as last year
Matt Cassel Bottom 5 in sacks and passes dropped in 2009; o-line is improved; played better with addition of Chambers in 2nd half; job is very safe; KC schedule is 4.0% easier than last year for a QB.
Derek Anderson Offense will be more run-oriented this year; great offense but Anderson hasn't done much in his career; not convinced he'll be the starter for the whole year.
Chad Henne 2nd year as starter - should improve; addition of Marshall will help; 3 QBs on roster: Thigpen, Pennington and White - risky pick.
Jason Campbell Not a very good surrounding cast in Oakland; their o-line is a little better than last year; job is safe; big upgrade for Oakland at QB.
Josh Freeman O-line is still pretty bad;  added a 2nd and 4th round pick at WR to replace Bryant; will get fpts from running; job is safe but little upside; TB schedule is 5.0% easier than last year for a QB.
Kyle Orton He played surprisingly well in 2009 and his job is pretty safe but has lost his best WR in Marshall and his LT Clady is a question mark.
Mark Sanchez Jets won't run over 600 times again; will improve like most 2nd year QBs; great upside with Cotchery, Edwards and Holmes at WR.
Matthew Stafford He won't throw 38 times a game this year - will improve but will throw fewer passes; still doesn't have much talent to help him; job is safe.
Matt Moore Was great in final 5 games last year; limited upside on a run-first team; job isn't particularly safe with Clausen behind him.
Matt Hasselbeck He has struggled in his past two seasons; has played 16 games only once in last 4 years; better o-line; Whitehurst could steal his job.
Trent Edwards Hasn't been as bad as you might think; run first team; injuries have slowed him down in his first 3 yrs; still competing for the job.
Jake Delhomme Missed 21 games in the last 4 yrs, poor surrounding cast, Seneca Wallace and Colt McCoy are right behind him, pretty good o-line.
Sam Bradford Rookie QBs have very little fantasy success; o-line is pretty good; job is pretty safe; Rams will be a running team this year.
