Name	Pos	Team	Age	Yrs Exp.	Pos. Rank
Derek Anderson	QB	---	26	4	QB - #37
It was only in 2007 when Derek Anderson threw for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns. Last year Anderson, like the rest of the Browns offense, was disappointing. And now Anderson finds himself in a battle with Brady Quinn for the starting job. If the Browns first preseason game was any indication, Anderson's downward spiral from his 2007 high is going to continue. While... Read More
Kellen Clemens	QB	NYJ	26	3	Unranked
I don't think anyone can say for sure who will be the starting quarterback for the Jets this season. New York didn't move up to the fifth position in the draft and select Sanchez if they felt Clemens could get the job done. More likely than not we'll see Clemens starting the season and Sanchez pick up a few starts late in the season once ... Read More
Byron Leftwich	QB	TB	30	6	Unranked
Byron Leftwich is the favorite to win the stating job, but in the pre-season he will have to compete with 1st round pick Josh Freeman and veteran Luke McCown. Leftwich struggled as a starter in Jacksonville, but its no wonder when you take a look at the talent surrounding him there at the wide receiver position. Leftwich served as a backup quarterback for the Super... Read More
Brady Quinn	QB	CLE	25	2	QB - #31
Brady Quinn almost got the opportunity to show his stuff during his second year with the Browns. He completed 45 of his 89 passes for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Since fellow quarterback Derek Anderson did not have a good season, this could (and probably should) be Quinn's opportunity. If he does indeed win the starting job, the Browns have tried to build...

Pat White	QB	MIA		R	Unranked
White was the Dolphins second round pick in last Aprils draft. So far this pre-season White has been used in Miami's wildcat offense as a quarterback and a receiver. Initially it appeared White would be used sparingly but with Davone Bess dropping more passes than the coaching staff would like the door has been left open for one of the rookies. If White is going to be... Read More
Vince Young	QB	TEN	26	3	QB - #18
When this guy isn't partaking in all male shirtless tequila parties or having a nervous breakdown, he seems to be whining. The Titans would be happy if their former #1 draft pick never sees the field this year and as long as Collins can manage the game, he won't. What a disappointment. Having said that, if he were to get on the field it's likely that he would out p... Read More
