Not a bad list, but you got to give Kitna his love! He is going to have a huge year.

Not a bad list at all...at least you thought for yourself at once. One of the better ones, but I think Kitna needs a boost because if you make the argument that Leinart deserves to be that high (which I think he should) that would also mean Kitna would be high too.

[blubombers]

I agree with your responses. Numbers 9-12 I had a pretty tough time ranking. I think Kitna could be easily placed inside the top ten at number nine and very well could out play a couple of the QBs ranked higher than him. Thanks, I will make that change with Kitna.

I don't get the Kitna love. He had a huge year last year, but the guy turned it over so much, he wasn't that much ahead of mcnabb after the deductions. (Not looking to debate mcnabb, just making a point of reference that if you don't outpace a guy who played in 10 games, and accumulate that yardage, you have a problem.) Its tough to see how he is going to improve on the yardage so he needs to decrease the turnovers and increase the td's. Unfortunately, he always seems to be around the 16-20 mark for turnovers. And he is gonna get killed with Martz calling the O and their offensive line. I actually think he is an underrated injury risk.

In the leagues I play in there are no deductions for interceptions or fumbles. So that minimizes the mistakes Kitna may make. As you can see I am not as high on Kitna as others and have him ranked in the 9-12 tier of QBs. I must say that I am quite intriqued with the Detroit offense under Martz especially with Calvin and Hobbs (Roy).
