Top Quarterbacks
Peyton Manning (IND) - Game on. After a lengthy divorce with the Colts, Manning will become the biggest name to hit the free agent market in some time. If Manning can pass a physical and show no signs of ill-health, a new Super Bowl contender will emerge in the coming weeks.
Matt Flynn (GB) - It is Matt Flynn-not Bart Starr, Brett Favre, or Aaron Rodgers-that holds the Packers franchise record for passing yards and touchdowns in a single game. As far one-week auditions go, Matt Flynn couldn't have fared any better. Flynn has the leadership, smarts, and presence on and off the field that teams covet in a starting quarterback. Having learned from McCarthy and Rodgers, Flynn is well aware of the preparations needed throughout the week to be successful in this league.
Alex Smith (SF) - The Niners slowly opened up the offense as the season progressed and Alex Smith handled the duties of a starting quarterback well. With a defense that led the league in turnovers, he minimized the offense's mistakes and the 49ers also tied an NFL record for fewest turnovers in a 16-game season. Though he still struggles to make all of the difficult NFL throws on a consistent basis-as shown in the NFC Championship game-Smith plays an efficient game that will interest in the Niners in returning him yet again.
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 decisionsÑand 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. He certainly won't be back in Denver and will probably have the opportunity to compete for a starting position for a team not resting their faith squarely on his shoulders.
Jason Campbell (OAK) - Prior to his injury that landed him on the IR and Carson Palmer on the next flight out to Oakland, Campbell was becoming a fairly efficient quarterback for the Raiders. Campbell is another quarterback like Orton that has some talent and will compete for a starting position somewhere, but unlike Orton, his greatest hindrance is 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. The Vikings quickly soured on him and reports out of Minnesota have suggested that he became complacent and never gave his best effort. He'll garner minimal interest in free agency.
Rex Grossman (WAS) - Not much has changed since his Chicago days. There's still good Rex and bad Rex. Without an elite defense, a team will struggle to field a .500 team under his command.
