Did not know that TC's QB rating was higher in the preseason matty, nice stat

They also said "The No. 3 spot appears to be a camp battle between two rookies coming off stud college careers."

Really? I wasn't aware Colt was rookie a for the second straight year.

And even if this poll is about just as much about depth as it is starters, I'm still scratching my head.

How do they have the Colts and Pats lower than the Panthers? Or the Falcons at 11 with a 2nd year QB and nothing else? Or the Bills at 12 with Trent Edwards and no one else? And how is Trent Edwards "the perfect QB to build around?"

Outside of the top 5, these rankings are kind of all over the place IMO.

Apparently Todd Collins knows the offense inside and out which is surprising considering how hard he sucked in last years training camp and preseason.

Read their commentary, and to be honest, what they are saying is what practically every preseason rag has been saying for the past few seasons about our QB situation. JC is a stand up individual everyone says, and it is true for the most part, but he has no choice but to be standup. He hasn't proven himself for the most part and he obviously isn't all that marketable. THe big question I have about JC is that has he already shown us his "stuff" or has he yet to come into his own. 2009 is going to answer that for us. HIs stats are average to above average. Case in point, compared to Frerotte, JC has a much better INT ratio, but Gus still has more TD passes.

Can someone explain to me why the panthers are ranked that high, with jake delhomme who throws 6 Ints in one playoff game, matt Moore who hasn't won one NFL game (or maybe he won one) and mccown who is an average backup at best ...and same with Houston, when was the last time matt schaub played a full season, and Rex grossman and dan orlovsky(let's run out the back of the endzone) I feel like our QBs are better than that or at least most of the teams ranked behind them are colts pats etc.

I don't think folks put much stock in JC or Brennan. JC has yet to turn the corner and Brennan couldn't play with the big boys while at the helm in Hawaii. Real easy to pad your stats with such lame ass competition. Hell the MAC conference is a lot tougher than Hawaii's conference.

I agree - our QB corps is a big question mark. In fact, I know I'll bring on the wrath here, but I really wished we got Cutler. Or any *franchise* QB. Hey -- if JC is our franchise QB, then I'd be the happiest guy in the world. This is the year for him to prove it.

BUT, drafting these QB's waste a half-decade. Because:
1) Draft QB -- waste a high draft pick (TWO for JC)
2) Wait TWO YEARS as QB holds the clipboard and flirts with the cheerleaders.
3) Wait another 2-3 years to see if he pans out.
4) 50% bust rate for QB's => we may have wasted 4-5yrs
5) Waste another high draft pick and start franchise over

Having a young franchise QB that sticks around for 15-20yrs saves your team decades of progress & numerous high draft picks. In fact, this may be one of the other reasons the teams with great QB's are so good. Those teams don't have to waste high draft picks on QB's again and again.

So I'm just hoping Campbell finally breaks out this year. Then we can use that draft pick next year on a stud O-line guy, a LB or even a RB. Otherwise we'll draft a new QB & have to wait another 4-5 years to "develop" him. (unless we get Matt Ryan)
