1. Carson Palmer-if he stays healthy, he has LaVeranues Coles
2. Matt Hasselbeck-was hurt last year, but has T J Houshmandzadeh for a target this year. And the Seahawks want control of the NFC West
3. Matt Ryan-61.1 % completetion, 3440 passing yards, 16 TDs, and 11 interceptions last season. His rookie year.
4. Matt Cassel-he has weapons and plays in a division where except for Chargers, doesnt have good defenses
5. Kyle Orton-move to Denver might be a very good thing for him. He has weapons and Denver uses the spread New England offense

I would agree with all of those expect for Hasselback he was never a good fantasy QB even when he was healthy. I don't see that one and I worry about Carson Palmers lack of help on offense, it''s really just him out there. Where is Aaron Rodgers, as much as I dislike the Packers I think he is in for a big year

I would pick Matt Hasselbeck over Palmer just because of Palmer's lack of help.
I think they picked Matt largely based on the fact that the team has a chip on its shoulder. They want to take back the NFC West.
But even so, Hasselbeck is a 3X Pro Bowl selection and a 1X All Pro selection.
His QB rating is 84.5 and he has set a number of franchise records.
He threw for almost 4000 (3996) in 2008.

You are right about Rodgers. More comfortable in the offense, and no more Favre looming over his head. I think he is ready for a huge year.
