20. Lions (2006 Rank: 24)
Jon Kitna put up good numbers on a bad team. (Nick Laham / Getty Images)
Jon Kitna finished 11th in the NFL in DPAR, but even Football Outsiders stats can be snookered once in a while. DVOA ranked him as a league-average quarterback, but an average quarterback who throws 596 passes is a pretty valuable commodity. Kitna was exceptional in the final two weeks of last season — 589 yards, seven touchdowns, one interception against the playoff-bound Bears and Cowboys — but he surrendered too many sacks and turnovers before the yuletide surge. He's a serviceable custodian who reads defenses well and can pick apart zones.
Dan Orlavsky and Drew Stanton are vying for the heir apparent role. Orlavsky, a third-year player from Connecticut, has NFL size and athleticism, but he hasn't distinguished himself. Stanton survived the John L. Smith era at Michigan State, so he's ready for the worst the Lions can throw at him. He's a scrambler who throws a nice short ball but needs to work on his mechanics and recognition.
Can you believe the Lions QB's are ranked this high ???
Kitna is servicable, can be good in the right situation...
It says he was exceptional in the last two weeks of the year !!!!
He should have been that way after game 10 when they were mathmatically eliminated, seeing there was no longer any pressure on him to make good on the year.
Orlovsky has not played enough to tell if he's any good.
Stanton being a rookie cannot be lumped in the good/bad catagory yet.
Do you consider Stanton to be a scrambler ? I don't, yet he can move around enogh to do good things, but would not consider him a scrambler, lets let him develop before we classify him as a scramlber.

JUST barely above you are my Oakland Faiders....I expect this seeing that we have 2 new QBs and one out indefinately....BUT with that said, I expect AT LEAST 6 wins...anything below that that will be VERY disappointing.
With a last-place schedule, the Raiders will get some patsys. But even with that, six wins will be hard to come by for them.
Playing every team in the WEST, AND the two Super Bowl contestants, Jacksonville, and the NFC Central is NO WAY a "patsy" schedule. Plus you add an up and coming team like Tennessee and always good team in the Dolphins...and that is in NO WAY a "last place team" schedule.
Sorry, you don't get to pick what division you play in. Gonna have to play all those AFC West guys twice.
THAT is very true....but you cannot automatically assume that just because you had the worst record in the league, you will get a patsy schedule. The Raiders schedule is a perfect example of that. And I have not seen the Browns schedule, but they too, play in a very tough, if not THE toughest division in the league.
Of course he is to you, but how many Superbowl wins does Ben have and how many does Palmer have?
While Palmer was getting the Heisman Trophy.
Ben was getting drunk and the girl.
truthfully, if palmer didn't get hurt in that first playoff game, i don't think the steelers win!! the bengals were the only team that had a substantial lead during any of those playoff games, including the super bowl.
my 2 cents.
my 2 cents.
At least Ben is in the top ten at number 8.
I expect much better things for the Steelers this year, seeing Big Ben is now over his head injuries and apendectonmy ...

The schedule USE to work that way,if you were the lowest rated team you played the weakest schedule the next year, it's not that way entirely anymore.
Jimbo
Ever look at what type of offense you run with a young QB ???
The Steelers had a perfect offense for the situation.
You could have put Palmer in Pittsburgh and He probably would have won as well.
The team Ben went to did not need a star QB at the time, they were a solid team and Ben had a solid year that year, not too bad for a rookie, or second year, I don't remember which. I know he played a few games the year before, so I guess that makes it NOT a rookie year, but for all intensive purposes, it was.
What did Palmer do in his rookie year ?
He sucked in the Super Bowl,
Ya he sucked, he made the plays needed to win the game, thats all that was needed.
