    No way is Brees leaving New Orleans but what about the rest? Sanchez won't lose his job because Rex is loyal but what about a viable backup for a change?


    top Quarterbacks

    Drew Brees (NO) - You must be playing Madden if you think you can lure him to help revive your struggling Redskins or Dolphins franchise-this Saint is off limits and fully locked into Who Dat nation for the rest of his career.

    Matt Flynn (GB) - As far as realistic, long-term options go, Matt Flynn may be the most pursued man. In his lone regular season appearance, he moved the Packers offense up and down the field in a national game, and almost knocked off a Patriots team in their house. He lacks the ideal tools, but plenty of quarterbacks have done more with less. Flynn has been taught by and learned from the best in Green Bay and will be ready to see if his career holds more than a clipboard.

    Alex Smith (SF) - Through the early portion of the season, the Niners have slowly opened up more of their offense for Alex Smith who has done nothing but make smart decisions. He's more efficient than productive, but another season or two under Harbaugh could really help him turn his career around completely. His return to San Francisco will rely upon his sustained success, improvement, and their confidence in second-rounder Colin Kaepernick.

    Kyle Orton (DEN) - Orton is inconsistent and about as middle-of-the-road as they come at quarterback. He can spin the ball well, but doesn't make the quickest decisions-and sometimes not the best. He's not a quarterback that will truly impress anyone as a starter, but is comfortably one of the 32 best this league has to offer. The Broncos probably won't want him back for another round of mediocrity, but he's the type of player that will play himself into the starting lineup with a younger prospect consistently vying for his position.

    Jason Campbell (OAK) - Campbell has been fairly efficient as the quarterback for the Raiders. With the Raiders finally appearing to turn the corner, they may look to retain Campbell's services on a short term deal as they continue to improve the rest of the roster and build a hard-nosed, winning environment. Unlike some of the other quarterbacks in this class, Campbell's greatest hindrance is not his skillset, but rather his confidence and vision in determining when to push the ball down the field.

    Donovan McNabb (MIN) - McNabb's best years are behind him; and he's probably destined to play out the rest of his career as a back-up or a starter amongst the league's bottomfeeders. One will prolong his stay in the NFL, while the other will cut it short. One thing appears clear though. The Vikings have not had the success they anticipated coming into the year and are likely to turn to Ponder by the start of next year at the very latest. More realistically, McNabb will be riding the bench after the team's bye week.

    The Rest:

    Chris Redman (ATL)
    Derek Anderson (CAR)
    Shaun Hill (DET)
    Drew Stanton (DET)
    Brady Quinn (DEN)
    David Garrard (FA)
    Luke McCown (JAC)
    Chad Henne (MIA)
    Sage Rosenfels (MIA)
    David Carr (NYG)
    Mark Brunell (NYJ)
    Kevin O'Connell (NYJ)
    Kyle Boller (OAK)
    Vince Young (PHI)
    Charlie Batch (PIT)
    Dennis Dixon (PIT)
    Byron Leftwich (PIT)
    Charlie Whitehurst (SEA)
    A.J. Feeley (STL)
    Josh Johnson (TB)
    Rex Grossman (WAS)
    Richard Bartel (ARZ) - Restricted
    Max Hall (ARZ) - Exclusive Rights
    Tyler Palko (KC) - Restricted
    Brian Hoyer (NE) - Restricted
    Chase Daniel (NO) - Restricted

    I thought McElroy looked good also I would like to see a fight for the starting job in the offseason if anything but he does have a serious lack of arm strength though.

    Also we might be able to steal Kellen Moore in the late 4th/5th rounds and he looks like a serious QB prospect hes a little short but deadly accurate.

    I would be very happy with Orton as he would be a huge upgrade over Sanchez. I would be happy to give Sanchez a lift to the train station. Campbell would be a large upgrade as well but then so would playing with 10 men. Although if Manning gets cut and is healthy he would upgrade every position on our team the second he joined.

    Nobody you wrote a sentence about is coming here. Pick a random name off the list you posted, doesn't really matter much.

    Why does Schotty get a "Stop with the brainless bashing" thread but Sanchez doesn't?

    Cause Sanchez is a "elite" qb and its obviously Shotty's, Holmes, Keller's, Eric Smith's, Plaxico's, Cromartie's, Ferguson's, Hunter's, Pooles, faults for him sucking.

    Didn't say Sanchez was anything but shit. Still, a "2012 Free Agent QB" thread when the Jets have glaring needs at other positions is by definition brainless.

    A little advice...if you want folks to take your QB evaluations seriously, it would help if you actually knew what teams certain guys are playing for. ;)

    So your ok with letting Sanchez play next year even if hes awful? What if he has a season ending injury your ok with Brunell taking his place?

    Logical fallacy -- I didn't necessarily advocate anything. Disagreeing with your proposal doesn't mean I'm necessarily against drafting a QB in the first round or trading for one (for example).

    Also, step your Jets game up. Don't forget Greg McElroy (Jr.)
