That means that people are starting to make their own personal rankings list for each position. We're going to rank every starting quarterback (or projected starting quarterback) of every NFL team to prepare you for your fantasy draft.
Here are number 32 through 22:
32. Matt Moore (Panthers)
Matt Moore is the projected starter for the Panther as of now. He had good numbers over the last five games of last season but he's still greatly inexperienced as an NFL starter. Jimmy Clausen could very well take over the starting roll if Moore struggles in preseason.
31. Josh Freeman (Buccaneers)
Josh Freeman has the athletic ability to be a great quarterback in this league, but his youth may still hamper him in 2010. Not to mention he doesn't exactly have the best group of receivers to throw to. He did look good in the preseason opener this past week. Freeman is still a couple seasons away from becoming an elite quarterback in the NFL.
30. Trent Edwards (Bills)
Most likely the more experience Trent Edwards will begin the season as the starter for the Bills over Ryan Fitzpatrick. However, that doesn't mean that Edwards is going to have a good year. He's coming off of a year that was plagued by a concussion and an ankle injury. Every now and then he'll show glimpses of being good NFL quarterback, but he's really inconsistent.
29. Vince Young (Titans)
It's so hard to put Vince Young this far back on the list, but he's done hardly anything in his NFL career to put him any higher. He threw another ill-advised interception in the preseason opener. His throwing mechanics have always been one of his greatest weaknesses and it looks like he still hasn't completely fixed that up.
28. Matt Leinart (Cardinals)
The Cardinals are looking at a huge setback from last season's division championship if Matt Leinart doesn't prove that he's finally ready for the NFL. Much like Vince Young, Leinart has never really lived up to his potential. At least he has Larry Fitzgerald to throw the ball to. That will definitely help his numbers a little this season.
27. Jason Campbell (Raiders)
The Raiders haven't had this good of a quarterback in a while, and that's not saying too much. Campbell had a rough time while he was in Washington and now he has to figure out a way to flourish in Oakland. Not an easy task. He's going to have very little to throw to in terms of receivers so expect Campbell to struggle this season on a bad team.
26. Kevin Kolb (Eagles)
Considering Kevin Kolb has only started a few games in his NFL career, it was hard to put him any higher on the list. Obviously Andy Reid sees something in Kolb that allowed him to let go of Donovan McNabb. I expect Kolb to put up average numbers and progressively get better as the season goes along. It doesn't hurt to have an explosive playmaker like Desean Jackson at your disposal.
25. Matt Hasselbeck (Seahawks)
At one time in his career Matt Hasselbeck was a top ten quarterback in the NFL. Those times have long passed. He's reached the back nine of his career and the only thing he really has to offer anymore is his veteran leadership. He'll have some solid games but he'll also have plenty of shaky performances in 2010.
24. Alex Smith (49ers)
Alex Smith showed last season what he's capable of doing when he's surrounded by a good team. It was really the first time in his career that he was on a good team and he also has a great coach in Mike Singletary. Smith has a talented group of receivers to work with and he ended last season with 18 touchdowns and just 12 interceptions. He's still very mistake prone which leaves him pretty far down this list.
23. David Garrard (Jaguars)
David Garrard is one of those quarterbacks that won't dazzle you with 300 yards game and 30 touchdown passes, but he's very effective at managing games. Whenever the Jaguars are forced to throw the football is when Garrard usually struggles. We saw that in 2009 when he threw two interceptions in a game on three different occasions.
22. Jake Delhomme (Browns)
Jake Delhomme seems really excited to be in Cleveland which leads me to believe that he's had a productive offseason. He won't put up Pro Bowl numbers but he will provide the Browns with an intelligent quarterback. His production has dropped as he's gotten older but don't count him out from having a bounce-back year since he's got some new surroundings to work with.
Numbers 21-11 will be posted next!!
