NFC QB Report

Marc Bulger - St. Louis Rams The good news is Bulger is starting again, the bad news is he is still playing for the Rams. He and the Ram offense have been a major disappointment and Bulger is not a worthy starter nor a worthy back up unless you are in a large league or a 2 QB league. Charlie Frye - Seahawks Remember Frye? He was the Browns opening day starter before being replaced by Derek Anderson. He looked good in the preseason and should make a solid start this week against the Packers with Hasselback out, but his long term value isn't much considering he is the third-string QB (Backup Seneca Wallace is out too). Matt Leinart - Cardinals Just a reminder that he is a quality backup QB and besides, isn't it about time for a Kurt Warner injury? If you have a roster spot he may be worth a look. Matt Ryan - Falcons A big surprise as a rookie QB. He has passed for a solid 863 yards, 4 TD's and 3 Int's in 5 games, but has improved and last week he went 16 of 26 for 194 yards with 2 TD's and 1 Int. He is worth picking up in Keeper Leagues, otherwise just one to keep an eye on. Jeff Garcia - Tampa Bay He has got the starting job back after Greise went down with an injury and Garcia played well scoring a meaningless TD at the end of the game. Neither QB is worth more than a 3rd-string slot or a backup in 2 QB leagues. The only question is, when will Gruden give Luke McCown the shot to start. That could be interesting. Kyle Orton - Bears He had what is probably the best game of his career against the Lions going 24 of 34 for 334 yards and 2 TD's. He has now tossed for 1,100 yards and 7 TD's with 4 Int's. That projects to 3,520 yards and about 22 TD's. Surprisingly, pretty good! Sin City Scout
