Team Changes QB

So, rosters and depth charts change frequently. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league. Starting with QB and working through (RB WR TE... etc) the rest of the positions we can get an idea of how the talent is shifting. Sometimes it helps a team. Sometimes a guy just wasn't producing. A younger guy comes in and the difference is hardly noted.

QB is the brain of your team.

Cardinals get rid of Kolb who goes to the Bills (Bills also drafted EJ Manuel and have Tavaris Jackson) and then the Cards grab Carson Palmer from the Raiders (Raiders also have Terrelle Pryor and drafted Tyler Wilson). Raiders get Matt Flynn from the Seahawks. Chiefs get Alex Smith from the 49ers. Jets get Geno Smith in the draft to compete with Mark Sanchez. Browns have Weeden and then gain Jason Campbell from the Bears and also pick up Hoyer from the Cardinals. Vikings gain Matt Cassel from the Chiefs to compete with Christian Ponder.

Surprisingly, this isn't too much movement at QB. There could be up to 28 teams that keep their starting QB from last year. Due to poor record and bad play on the field there might be some changed mid-season. I am just really surprised that only 12 teams make the playoffs and 2 teams make the Super Bowl and only 1 of those guys can win it all. And then 28 teams might decide to run with the same signal caller.

1. Raiders will run with a new QB. No matter what. They lost Carson Palmer. I think Matt Flynn takes the starting job he should of gotten in Seattle, but Russell Wilson won it fair and square.

2. Bills will run with either Kevin Kolb or EJ Manuel. A rookie or a guy who can't stay healthy and hack it in another QB starved city. I would be surprised if Tavaris Jackson won the starting job. He couldn't make it in Seattle or Minnesota.

3. Chiefs get rid of Cassel, who goes to Vikings as insurance, and get Alex Smith from the 49er's. I think he will do fine here and has inherited the starting role automatically.

4. Cardinals now have Carson Palmer. I don't think it helps and I don't think Drew Stanton, his backup, will be able to win the job.  

After these 4 teams you have the Jets, Jaguars, and Browns. I just think that their incumbent starters are returning. Sanchez, Gabbert, and Weeden.

You will also note that these teams all suck. I guess the only team on here I would take exception to that is the Chiefs. They were the worst team in the NFL last year but I expect a huge rebound with them. They have a ton of potential. Just if I could make a bold prediction: none of these teams will be making the playoffs. None.
