Even with Brandon Marshall suspended for the first few games, Jay Cutler should start off his second full season just fine, causing Broncos fans to cringe at the mere thought that they once went into an NFL season with Jake Plummer manning the offense.
Cutler has proven, after last year's performance, that he was indeed the hidden golden ticket of the 2006 quarterback draft class. The Cardinals and Titans have been left with just Wonka bars. Delicious, no doubt, but not the grand prize that is a golden ticket!
With potential question marks at receiver, besides Brandon Marshall, Cutler will likely rely on the up-and-coming tight end Tony Scheffler (and, to a lesser extent, Brandon Stokley) until both Marshall is back and has become well-acquainted with newbie’s Keary Colbert and Darrel Jackson.
11. Derek Anderson (CLE)
Derek Anderson took everyone by surprise in 2007, and if you claim otherwise, then you, sir, are a bull-faced liar. Surrounded by one of the most potent offenses in the game, Anderson has a weapon to utilize in almost every conceivable offensive situation.

Although he tailed off at the end of the season, big-game jitters and some inconsistent play from the rest of the team contributed to his poor performances. Anderson didn’t appear too worried with Brady Quinn waiting in the wings last year, but it will remain to be seen if he’ll handle it that way after a media circus and 23-hour coverage on ESPN ensues after his first poor performance.
10. David Garrard (JAC)
Many people questioned Jack Del Rio’s decision to go with David Garrard over Byron Leftwich at the start of last year. After guaranteeing it was the wrong move, telling everyone to write it down, these people showed us all why they work behind a desk and not for an actual NFL team when Garrard excelled and Leftwich eventually imploded in Atlanta.

Although many people describe a conservative quarterback like it’s a bad thing, Garrard has both the poise to know when to go for a big play and the skill to make it happen.
9. Matt Hasselbeck (SEA)
Not only has Matt Hasselbeck proven to be one of the funniest players in the game, he has also proven to be a solid fantasy option for what seems like forever. With Deion Branch likely out for most of the season, Hasselbeck finds himself tasked with once again throwing to a questionable group of wideouts.

At least this year the Seahawks will have a running game, no matter how many backs are part of it. If he were a lesser quarterback, there would be cause for concern. However, Hasselbeck is one of the few signal-callers no one really doubts, despite not having a clear No. 1 option.
8. Brett Favre (NYJ)
