Notes:
- I suspect people will take exception to my low ranking of Jason Campbell. I think he's a decent player who has some value in start 2 QB leagues, but there is nothing in his statistics that suggests a bright FF future. I think the guys I have ranked above him all have more upside based on what we've seen so far.
- I am tempted to put Rodgers, Quinn, and Edwards ahead of Leinart. Leinart is a huge boom or bust pick. He has the supporting cast to be great, but he was horrible in 2007. If he doesn't show huge improvement next year then it's time to move on.
- I get bad vibes on Russell. I've always thought he was overrated and he's on a terrible team in a terrible organization. Given the huge failure rate on first round QBs, his status as the former first overall pick doesn't do much to temper my skepticism.
- You can justify ranking Favre, Kitna, Delhomme, and maybe Warner higher if you're thinking short term. But they're not good options beyond 2008.
- You can make a case for Drew Stanton a bit higher. But the injury was a big setback and with Martz out of town, does the new OC give Stanton a chance or try to find his own guy? That uncertainty keeps his value down a bit, though he's a good sleeper.
