updated keeper rankings -- QB

QB
1. Peyton Manning -- 30 -- he's still the best, even with a shaky RB situation
2. Tom Brady -- 29 -- I'm worried about his WR situation, but he'll find a way
3. Eli Manning -- 25 -- if he gets his completion percentage up to 60%, he could be a superstar
4. Carson Palmer -- 26 -- he's moving well after a horrible knee injury
5. Matt Hasselback -- 31 -- he could be the #2 QB in 2006
6. Michael Vick -- 26 -- he's still 26, and he still runs
7. Donovan McNabb -- 29 -- needs a #1 WR to emerge from the pack
8. Ben Roethlisberger -- 24 -- stay off those bikes, kid
9. Daunte Culpepper -- 29 -- he has a great supporting cast, but he needs good health
10. Marc Bulger -- 29 -- risk or reward... can he stay on the field?
11. Jake Delhomme -- 31 -- watch the camp injury to Steve Smith carefully
12. Kurt Warner -- 35 -- if he can stay behind the wheel, he'll succeed
13. Byron Leftwich -- 26 -- Matt Jones is emerging as a star, and that can't hurt
14. Drew Brees -- 27 -- numbers slipped in 2005, and he doesn't have a stud WR
15. Aaron Brooks -- 30 -- he's worth a chance this year
16. Jake Plummer -- 31 -- Cutler won't push him until 2007
17. Drew Bledsoe -- 34 -- not a great keeper pick, but you'll love him this year
18. David Carr -- 27 -- I can't see him improving until the line does
19. Matt Leinart -- 23 -- he's in a great situation... now needs the keys to the Vette
20. Trent Green -- 36 -- 4000+ yards in the last three years... it won't be four
21. Alex Smith -- 22 -- if the 49ers retool, he'll be a stud in three years
22. Brett Favre -- 37 -- only playing to catch Marino now

23. Jay Cutler -- 23 -- he has a chance to be a superstar soon

24. Vince Young -- 23 -- 2007 starter for sure, maybe more

25. J.P. Losman -- 25 -- I still like his long term potential, but he might not have a job soon
26. Chad Pennington -- 30 -- If he's your starter, you are in trouble
27. Jon Kitna -- 34 -- Mike Martz might turn Kitna into a magician
28. Philip Rivers -- 24 -- has the tools and the toys
29. Rex Grossman -- 26 -- he could be a good QB2 in 2006
30. Charlie Frye -- 25 -- just lost Bentley and won't get Edwards back until week 7
31. Chris Simms -- 26 -- Gruden likes to run, and Simms is a QB
32. Mark Brunell -- 36 -- horrible keeper pick who might do well in 2006
33. Steve McNair -- 33 -- has been questionable or worse in 28 of his last 48 games
34. Brad Johnson -- 38 -- too old for keeper and not good enough for this year
35. Billy Volek -- 30 -- he could be a stud before Young takes over
36. Josh McCown -- 27 -- he puts up numbers when called upon
37. David Garrard -- 28 -- his running numbers pad his stats

38. Matt Schaub -- 25 -- will the Falcons give up on Vick?

39. Kyle Boller -- 25 -- will get a chance when McNair goes down
40. Brodie Croyle -- 23 -- might push Trent Green in 2007
41. Brian Griese -- 31 -- could be productive in an anemic Bears offense
42. Patrick Ramsey -- 27 -- backup to Pennington, which means he'll find the field
43. Kelly Holcomb -- 33 -- could be starting, but the Bills are awful
44. Joey Harrington -- 28 -- change of scenery good for him?
45. Jeff Garcia -- 36 -- he can still produce in spurts
46. Gus Frerotte -- 35 -- pass
47. Aaron Rodgers -- 22 -- has to wait another year
48. Tony Romo -- 26 -- Romo has a good arm and is waiting for a Bledsoe injury

50. Jim Sorgi -- 25 -- best week 17 quarterback every year
