Comments |
|
1 |
Donovan McNabb, PHI |
Prior to getting hurt, he tossed
17 TD's, ran for 6 more, averaging 229 yards/gm |
|
2 |
Daunte Culpepper, MIN |
With Moss and Rushing TD's,
Culpepper could make a case for being #1 |
|
3 |
Peyton Manning, IND |
The safest pick of the QB's,
Manning ranks third due to fewer rushing TD's |
|
4 |
Kurt Warner, STL |
Questions surround Warner's health
but his potential and Faulk make him a top 5 QB |
|
5 |
Aaron Brooks, NO |
Another good year with 27 TD's
that only an injury stopped from being even higher |
|
6 |
Rich Gannon, OAK |
Gannon has averaged 30 TD's a season and hasn't missed a
game in 9 years |
|
7 |
Jeff Garcia, SF |
Garcia's production fell from 32
TD's to 21, reason to take him out of the top 5 |
|
8 |
Brett Favre, GB |
Favre threw for 27 TD's and will
likely throw for at least 25 more again this year |
|
9 |
Drew Bledsoe, BUF |
Loss of Peerless Price will hurt
Bledsoe's chances of throwing another 24 TD's |
|
10 |
Trent Green, KC |
Green could be a real sleeper in
2003 especially if Priest Holmes isn't healthy |
|
11 |
Tom Brady, NE |
If they only had a running game,
Brady's numbers would surpass 30 plus |
|
12 |
Steve McNair, TEN |
McNair keep churning out 20+ TD
seasons and 2003 should be no different |
|
13 |
Matt Hasselbeck, SEA |
A good young group of receivers
could propel Hasselbeck into the top 10 QB's |
|
14 |
Drew Brees, SD |
Brees could be a sleeper with
Tomlinson and David Boston, look for 25 TD's |
|
15 |
Kelly Holcomb, CLE |
Holcomb has been named the
starter and moves into the top 15 quarterbacks |
|
16 |
Tommy Maddox, PIT |
A great receiving
corp should give Maddox every opportunity to increase his stats |
|
17 |
Kerry Collins, NYG |
Another great receiving corp,
including Shockey should boost Collins to 20+ TD's |
|
18 |
Jake Plummer, DEN |
Denver is still a running team
and Smith, Sharpe, McCaffrey are only getting older |
|
19 |
Brad Johnson, TB |
Johnson threw 22 TD's and we
expect similar results from him this year |
|
20 |
Patrick Ramsey, WAS |
With R. Johnson in
town, the verdict is out on Ramsey and the Washington offense |
|
21 |
Jay Fiedler, MIA |
A broken thumb limited Fiedler to
14 TD's, otherwise, 20+ would have been in range |
|
22 |
Chad Pennington, NYJ |
Pennington drops due
to his injury. Pick up Testeverde as a backup for Chad |
|
23 |
Tim Couch, CLE |
See above, Couch may have his
hands full after the playoff performance of Holcomb |
|
24 |
Joey Harrington, DET |
This rookie should improve on his
12 TD passes, but who will he throw them to? |
|
25 |
Kordell Stewert, CHI |
Kordell has good receivers in
Booker and Terrell, but only time will tell for Stewart |
|
26 |
David Carr, HOU |
Still a young team with young
receivers and a team that gave up a record 76 sacks |
|
27 |
John Kitna, CIN |
Simply an average quarterback on
a bad team with a bad group of receivers |
|
28 |
Marc Bulger, STL |
Bulger is just one injury away
from being a top 10 quarterback, take him as insurance |
|
29 |
Michael Vick, ATL |
Vick's injury could include
ligament damage which would end his regular season |
|
30 |
Jake Delhomme, CAR |
A good receiving corp could put
Delhomme on the map as the next Kurt Warner |
|
