Who Will Be The Redskins 2011 Opening Day Starting QB?

[GTripp0012]

According to my college passers spreadsheet....

For Mallett: Matt Ryan is pretty close, JaMarcus Russell is pretty close, Josh Freeman is probably the closest, Kyle Orton and Vince Young are in the neighborhood.

For Newton: Really close to Mark Sanchez, not close at all to anyone else.

For Ponder: Nearly identical to Jimmy Clausen, John Beck is close, Troy Smith is kinda close, Joe Flacco is kinda close, Brian Brohm is pretty close, Matt Leinart is close, as well as Kellen Clemens and Dan Orlovsky. Those comparable conjure up a lot of epic fails, but some successes and I'd take that over what I'm getting for Newton.

For Devlin: Not surprisingly, Joe Flacco. Dennis Dixon, Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Sean Canfield.

For Locker: Jay Cutler is closest. Also close: Tarvaris Jackson, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Stafford. Andrew Walter and Derek Anderson also really close.

For Gabbert: Matt Moore is really close, JaMarcus Russell is close, Joe Flacco is close, Josh Freeman is pretty close, Vince Young is closest, Ryan Fitzpatrick is in the neighborhood. Tony Pike and Bill Stull are the most recent ones who are similar. Gabbert looks GREAT next year at this time if he stays in school. Then he looks like Sam Bradford.

For Foles: See Devlin. Numbers, despite differences in competition, are near identical.

For Kaepernick: Kevin Kolb, Brady Quinn, Chad Henne, Jay Cutler, Kyle Orton, Charlie Whitehurst.

All of these estimations are really premature.
