Which rookie QB starts the most games? Has the best year?
Lets look at our candidates in the order they were drafted:
Cam Newton CAR Starts day 1 plays 14 of 16 games (2 injured)
Jake Locker TEN Plays half the season 8 of 16
Blaine Gabbert JAX Holds the clip board all season behind Garrard
Christian Ponder MIN Starts day 1 plays 13 of 16 games (injury concerns)
Andy Dalton CIN Gut feeling is Palmer comes back for 1 more year
Colin Kaepernick SF -Alex Smith returns
Ryan Mallett NE-Yeah right
So of the two starters for the year Newton and Ponder who scored the most FF points?
Newton has more rushing yards, TD potential...ya think! But Ponder has better weapons in Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin and Visanthe Shiancoe.
Call them both a push in this evaluation. But I think Newton has the best chance of playing more games due to Ponders injury concerns and the Panthers wanting to annoint Cam QB #1 ASAP.

Vikings looking to trade for QB Sage Rosenfels from Texans
Again the Vikings appear to be trading for Sage Rosenfels from Hou Texans,
the Vikes tried to get him last year too.
If they can trade for him that will free them up to look for a stud WR in the 2009 NFL draft and 5 of them should go in the first round.
Rumors say it will be a fourth round pick although the Vikes may be desperate enough to offer a 3rd rounder.

2009 QB Rankings and Explanations
2009 QB Rankings
These Rankings are based on 4 points per passing TD, 6 points per rushing TD (# not shown here), 1 point per 25 yards passing. One point is subtracted for every interception thrown. Be sure to visit http://www.ffguidebook.com/ for more updates all offseason or to look at the QBs 2009 projections.
1 D Brees NO - Duh! 5000 yards passing in 08'
2 P. Manning IND -Always a Top 3 QB
3 T Romo DAL - Recovers from 08' injuries
4 A Rodgers GB - Have you seen his 08' stats? 4000 yds and 28 TDs
5 J Cutler DEN - New coach, tons of weaposn
6 M Cassel/ Brady NE - Hedging my bets with who will start
7 P Rivers SD -More LT = Less Passing TDs
8 K Warner/Leinart AZ - 3 x 1000 yd WRs...need I say more
9 S Hill SF -Sleeper-if he starts, great finish in 08'
10 D McNabb PHI -Slowly regressing but still good
11 T Thigpen KC -08’ darling gets better, question is does Tony Gonzlaez stay at TE
12 C Palmer CIN -Check health status in offseason, huge risk/reward here
13 C Pennington MIA -Steady wins the race.
14 M Schaub* HOU -Injury concerns make me rank him lower based on just a 14 game season, if he starts all 16-IF IF IF....move him up to Top 10.
15 D Garrard JAX -Steady but needs the Jags running game to gel, or better yet the OL
16 B Roethlisberger PIT -Healthy RBs mean less passes and Ward is a year older.
17 T Jackson MIN -If he starts and stays he could be a big sleeper, but I have been burnt on the M Vicks and V Youngs too much in the past, so not so quick this time to declare him King.
18 M Hasslebach SEA -New coach Mora wants to run more, if healthy could be worth the chance
19 Eli Manning NYG -200 yards per game average is nothing to brag about FF wise
20 Matt Ryan ATL- Everything flows through Michael "burner" Turner
21 J Delhomme CAR -Too many health concerns and a playoff collapse in 08'
22 Favre/Clemmons NYJ -whoever starts expect lots of INTs
23 K Orton CHI - CHI Offense is an oxymoron; Matt Forte is the star
24 J Campbell WAS -Which new Off scheme will he have to learn this year?
25 Joe Flacco BAL - Steady improvement but nothing to get excited about
26 Ja Russell OAK -Oakland, need I say more
27 M Bulger STL -Health concerns and a new coach, Holt lost a step too
28 Brady Quinn CLE -Deep sleeper
29 T Edwards BUF -Not consistent
30 J Kitna/Orlosky DET -QB controversy, 0-16 in 08'
31 J Garcia TB -New coach, time is running out
32 K Collins TEN -Running backs TEN has, WRs no
33 S Rosenfels HOU -Great insurance for Schaub
34 V Young TEN -Check mental state, but potential is there, see T Jax above.
