Quarterback Rankings

By now, most of you should have your team drafted and ready to hit the field. Chemistry built up. Love handles burned off. Pep talks delivered. However, most fantasy rankings are out of date. And plus, compared to mine, they probably suck. Today we begin with quarterbacks, and in the near future move on to running backs.

Without further ado...

1. Tom Brady (offensive line questions tamper predictions, but anything short of 35 TD's would be disappointing for the Golden Boy)
2. Tony Romo (How quickly we forget about the 19 interceptions last year. I'm unfazed.)
3. Drew Brees (I resisted the creepy voices telling me to put him as #2. Remember what hurricanes do to the Saints?)
4. Peyton Manning (Marvin is starvin'... for a revival. This year Manning pulls it all back together)
5. Ben Rothlisberger (Que the QB drop-off riiiiight... now. Will we get the Big Ben of '07 or Diminutive Ben of '06? I'd rather not find out.)
6. Carson Palmer (He's coming off a tough year, but should bounce back. He can't do any worse.)
7. Matt Hasselbeck (You always know what you're gonna get.)
8. Donovan McNabb (Weak WR core bumps him down.)
9. David Garrad (Don't call him a sleeper.)
10. Derek Anderson (Brady Quinn looms. So does that concussion.)
11. Marc Bulger (O-line is marginally better with Pace, and Jackson is finally happy.)
12. Kurt Warner (Age doesn't matter when you're throwing to these WR's.)
13. Matt Schuab (Can't stump the Schuab... when he's healthy.)
14. Jay Cutler (Now this is a sleeper. Watch him connect with Marshall all year.)
15. Brett Favre (As a Jets fan, I'm keeping my expectations modest: 28TD, 20INT.)
16. Jake Delhomme (Let the smelly guy hogging the patato chips draft him. Boring.)
17. Philip Rivers (Just get the ball to LT. Needs to continue his strong finish last year.)
18. Aaron Rodgers (Sleeper numero dos. Inherits high-powered offense.)
19. Jason Campbell (You can't just jump into a Jim Zorn offense. Wait another year, 'Skins fans.)
20. Vince Young (9TD's last year? Seriously? He'll double that playing under Heimerdinger).
21. Jon Kitna (No Martz? No problem. Not with Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams.)
22. Eli Manning (Not a fan. You'll eventually see why.)
23. Tavaris Jackson (Send those sweet lil' screen passes Adrian's way...)
24. Chad Pennington (Oh Chad, buddy 'ol pal. I don't miss you, but Laveranues does.)
25. JaMarcus Russell (He can throw through a brick wall, but talent around him lacking.)
