What starting QB will lose his job first this year? (1 Viewer)

I got Garrard as my 3rd QB in a auction draft that allows a QB to play the only flex spot. I need to replace Garrard with a QB before he becomes the flavor of the week since I will be low on the waiver list. My other 2 QB's are Rodgers and Stafford so one that will start and be effective mid-season is what I am looking for.

 
This looks like a good option for a poll. Here are my candidates off the top of my head, in order.

1) Tarvaris Jackson. He's really the only guy I see getting pulled soon. He's easily the worst starting QB in the NFL right now.

2) McCown. I don't know enough about him to say if he's any good, but he looks like a place holder for Gabbert at this point. Iffy team means quick hook to the kid.

3) Grossman. One good week isn't enough to erase all the doubts and I think WAS has a legit shot (albeit outside) at the playoffs. If Shanny feels QB play is holding them back, I have no doubt that he'll roll with Beck.

4) McNabb/Hasselbeck. I wouldn't be surprised if neither gets pulled all season as I think both were brought in to start the entire year, but I also wouldn't be surprised to see the rooks get a chance once their teams fall out of the playoffs.

5) Campbell. OAK has enough weapons on offense and Campbell just isn't good enough. Not that the bench with Boeller and Pryor is much better at this point, but with OAK, anything is possible, even a Garrard signing.

6) Alex Smtih. I actually strongly doubt that he will get replaced and if he does, it won't Kaepernick, who is a long way from being ready. It will be Garrard.

 
Keep an eye on the Denver situation. Orton is already feeling the heat. Not sure if it would be Quinn or Tebow at this point, though.

 
McCown will be the starter for most of the year. As will McNabb. As will Alex Smith. As will Jason Campbell.

Trararavaris Jackson has to be the clear cut choice with regard to the OP's question.

 
Already have charlie Whitehurst on the bench in anticipation (2QB league). I need a QB for the bye weeks and Alex smith is my other backup for Brees and Romo. In the off chance that Smith is out by those weeks, I think Whitehurst will be starting pretty soon. TJax was atrocious in week 1. Two more weeks of that and Caroll will be forced to go to the next in line. Whitehurst supposedly looked good in preseason not that that means anything.
