To help the Bruno Boys Nation win FREE PRIZES, we bring to you the Super Bowl XLIII Round Quarterback Rankings.

--------------------

1. Kurt Warner (Arizona Cardinals) vs. Pittsburgh

What a test it should be for Kurt Warner this week. Not only does Warner have to take on the top rated Pittsburgh Steelers defense, he will be playing on the national stage with all the marbles on the line in Super Bowl XLIII.

Warner is 1-1 in Super Bowls, winning Super Bowl XXXIV and losing Super Bowl XXXVI, and the veteran has played extremely well, throwing for 779 yards and three touchdowns (four total).

We don't expect him to reach those yardage totals against a Steelers secondary that surrendered just 156.9 passing yards per game during the season, but look for Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin to expose the Steelers weakness, which is defending the outside of the field against the pass.

Warner will be solid, but we project somewhere around 250 passing yards and two touchdowns to go along with an interception.
Point Projection: 17 points

--------------------

2. Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers) vs. Arizona

Believe it or not, Big Ben has alot to prove in this game. Despite winning a Super Bowl XL in just his second NFL season, Roethlisberger had arguably his worst game on the national stage, completing just 9-of-21 passes for 123 passing yards and zero touchdowns. In fact, he was so bad that he finished the game with two fantasy points, two turnovers, and a 22.6 QB rating. 

This time around, things should be easier, as Big Ben faces a Cardinals defense that has been solid of late, but still has allowed six passing TD's in three playoff games. We expect the Steelers to feature running back Willie Parker, but there should be enough scoring for Roethlisberger to hover around 200 passing yards and a TD pass or two.

Kurt Warner is our first choice in the Super Bowl round, but if your lineup is locked and Big Ben is your guy, he won't disappoint.

Point Projection: 15 points

--------------------

3. Byron Leftwich (Pittsburgh Steelers) vs. Arizona

Leftwich is a seasoned veteran with playoff experience that brings comfort to the Pittsburgh coaching staff. When forced into action because of Ben Roethlisberger injuries, Leftwich was a solid 21 of 36 for 303 passing yards and two touchdowns over the course of five games.

We know Roethlisberger is playing hurt and will get hit hard throughout the game, so if you are in some crazy league in which you need to start a backup QB, Leftwich is the guy.

Point Projection: 0 points

--------------------

4. Matt Leinart (Arizona Cardinals) vs. Pittsburgh

Leinart had only 29 passing attempts throughout the season, but 27 of them came over the final three games which should help if called into emergency duty. If he does play, expect the Steelers to blitz often and for Leinart to be forced to make quick decisions. However, we don't see Warner getting knocked out of this game.

Point Projection: 0 points
