Top Quarterbacks

Derek Anderson, RFA, Cleveland Browns

Anderson was one of the biggest surprises in all of the NFL. He passed for 3,787 yards and threw 29 touchdowns to 19 interceptions, while helping to put Cleveland into the playoff race late in the season. He also added three rushing touchdowns to his totals. While he had the benefit of strong receiving options, he also did his job well above average. There were even rumors that the Browns may look to trade 2007 first round quarterback selection Brady Quinn. Cleveland can’t afford to let Anderson leave town after the way his play has helped the franchise turnaround. The Browns are likely to sign him to an extension.

Predicted 2008 Team: Browns - Will once again start in Cleveland.

Josh McCown, UFA, Oakland Raiders

McCown hit the map with a decent 2004 season while starting 13 games for the Arizona Cardinals in place of the injured Kurt Warner. McCown had the benefit of throwing to some excellent receivers that season, but in ’05 Warner came back to play in a majority of the team’s games. McCown didn’t have the opportunity to build upon his past success. With Oakland in 2007, he played in parts of nine games and other than a solid week thirteen outing against Denver, did very little. McCown will likely be nothing more than a backup in the NFL, but he could stay on in Oakland behind Russell.

Predicted 2008 Team: Oakland – Lane Kiffin seems to like McCown, and he could push JaMarcus Russell to be better.

Daunte Culpepper, UFA, Oakland Raiders

Culpepper is light-years away from the Pro-Bowl quarterback that he once was. He had had four or five decent (at best) outings for Oakland this year, while doing an adequate job of managing games, but he was never able to make the offense dynamic. He totaled 344 passing yards against Minnesota in week eleven, but reached 200 yards passing on just two other occasions. With JaMarcus Russell and Josh McCown taking over late in the season, Culpepper was nothing more than a veteran backup sitting on the bench. Odds are that Culpepper looks for a backup role in a new town.

Predicted 2008 Team: Unsigned – If he returns, he may have to wait until the dust settles and the season gets underway.
