Happy Independence Day! Let's talk rankings!!
I think the second batch of QBs are always the hardest -- you have some guys that will surprise and end up in the Top 10 and some guys that will be huge busts.

Roethlisberger, Ben |
PIT |
Great NFL quarterback, overrated fantasy quarterback. I would hate to have to count on him week in and week out. |
12 |
Romo, Tony |
DAL |
Unless Jason Witten catches 210 passes this season, I don't see how Romo matches last year's stats. |
13 |
Hasselbeck, Matt |
SEA |
Don't look now, but the Seahawks have some actual WRs and a new Head Coach. If Hasselbeck is really as healthy as he says, watch out. |
14 |
Schaub, Matt |
HOU |
OK, THIS is the year he breaks out. OK, then how about THIS year? Uh, maybe THIS year? |
15 |
Cassel, Matt |
KC |
We'll see how much of 2008 was due to the world-class Patriots offense and how much was due to Cassel. |
16 |
Palmer, Carson |
CIN |
He's no Houshmandzadeh, but Laveranues Coles will be happy to catch everything Palmer throws at him. |
17 |
Cutler, Jay |
CHI |
Cutler is a talented QB, but his top 2 WRs in Denver (Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal) were better than anybody he has in Chicago right now. |
18 |
Manning, Eli |
NYG |
42% of the team's receiving yards left in the off-season. Who is going to make up that production? |
19 |
Pennington, Chad |
MIA |
The addition of WR Patrick Turner should help. The emergence of WR Ted Ginn would do much more than help. |
20 |
Hill, Shaun |
SF |
He went 5-1 as a starter for the final six games of last season. No, really, look it up. If he gets the starting nod in training camp, he'll be a sleeper only because nobody will expect anything from him. This ranking is assuming he wins the starting job. |
