Fantasy Football Player Rankings: Quarterbacks

Prior to the weekly rankings, here is the first in a series of pre-season rankings for the 2006 season. The...

Once again, the guy with the perfect football rankings. I might change around a guy or two up or down a position or so, but that is nit picking. Nice rankings again.

For those of you that are newer here, Jeff also does a weekly ranking on individual players that is 90% accurate, with the other 10% being completely unpredcitable. If you ever have an issue trying to decide whom to start, refer to Jeff's weekly list.

Ugh...I wont complain over Brunell's ranking, but putting Rivers and Carr ahead is pretty funny to me.

I'll always debate Carson's pessimistic rankings. Levi Jones and Willie Anderson were both rested tonight so they will be 100% for when Carson debutes next week vs. GB. He was medically cleared to play a week ago, his mobility is as good as last year already. In our offense he just needs to drop back a couple steps and launch, worked out pretty good last year...

With all that said, I love your rankings... Seriously the best on the net, other ones seem generic.

Will Kitna be that much better than Brunell? I have Brunell as my back up. Would I be better off dropping him and adding Kitna??

If my starting QB is very good I want Brunell as my backup. He's more dependable and should have consistently ok games.
If my starting QB is not very good I want Kitna because there is so much talent around him that if things 'click' he'll put up some monstrous numbers.

No offense here, but I wouldnt call the guys around Kitna very talented.

Really? What about Kevin Jones, Mike Williams, Roy Williams, Charles Rogers and Marcus Pollard? They have plenty of talent, it has just they have never been able to translate that talent into production in my opinion.

Rogers and Williams are looking like they will both be cut and when's the last time Mike Martz has used a TE in his offense to a great extent?

Sure Kevin Jones and Roy Williams have big potential, but they wont be enough to give Kitna "monsterous" numbers this year.

When I said "some monstrous numbers" I meant individual games may be very very good and I'll stand by that with his team. I have not heard anything about Rogers or Williams being cut (though I don't pay much attention now) And Martz has never really had a good TE to work with.

This is a little note that Yahoo had listed for Pollard...

Quote:

Aug 14 Nicholas J. Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions TE Marcus Pollard has been turned into an H-back by offensive coordinator Mike Martz. Pollard does not think Martz is down on him and said, "I just think the way his system is set, I fit the mold of a move guy."

That might get him the ball a little more than a true TE in Martz's offense, but I still dont believe he'll really be much of a difference. If they dont have someone who can catch the ball opposite of Williams, then it wont matter anyways.
