With No. 1 QB Michael Vick suspended for the season, Harrington steps in as the starter for Atlanta. New head coach Bobby Petrino made some good quarterbacks look great when he coached in the college ranks, but getting good play out of Harrington is a tall order. In five seasons, Harrington has never completed better than 58 percent of his passes, and he's had more TDs than INTs in a season only once.

Because Brady Quinn won't be ready to start early on, Frye be Cleveland's QB. He has some good running ability, but as a passer Frye is pretty putrid. |

Croyle is still KC's quarterback of the future, but his poor preseason cost him the starting job. Still, expect Croyle to push current starter Damon Huard onto the bench at some point this season.

Thanks to a poor decision to hold out for more money at the beginning of training camp, Quinn is unlikely to start games early on. Learning an NFL playbook is too much more rookie QBs to handle when they get to camp late. But assuming starter Charlie Frye is unlikely to impress, Quinn could take over as Cleveland's top QB around midseason.

If the Bears didn't bench starter Rex Grossman last year, they'll probably never do it. But in case Chicago grows tired of Mr. Grossman's Wild Ride, veteran passer Griese could probaly be an average starting QB. |

Carr, the top overall pick of the 2002 Draft, will get a fresh start in Carolina. But he'll have to settle for a back-up role this year. If starter Jake Delhomme struggles again, Carr could make a big impact. Especially since all he'd have to do is get the ball to superstar WR Steve Smith and watch him go.

Cleo Lemon |

Miami would like to see veteran Trent Green hold the starting spot until rookie John Beck is ready to step in. But if the aging Green struggles or gets hurt, Lemon could prove to be a solid NFL passer. The career back-up played for new Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron when Cameron was offensive coordinator in San Diego, so he already knows Miami's new system. And some tweaks to Lemon's mechanics this summer should improve his accuracy.

McCown will likely back-up Daunte Culpepper early on. And since No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell held out of the entire preseason, McCown is likely to remain Culpepper's top back-up for most, if not all, of 2007. If Culpepper struggles again, the Raiders likely wouldn't hesitate to tab McCown as their starter. His strong arm and athleticism make him an intriguing option, but poor decision making will likely keep McCown from being even an average NFL passer. |

Clemens is the Jets quarterback of the future. But if Chad Pennington is inconsistent again this season, Clemens could become the quarterback of the present. He would have some growing pains if forced into the lineup, but Clemens is a smart QB with a stronger arm than Pennington.

Feeley has always been comfortable in head coach Andy Reids system. If his injured finger proves to be 100 percent, Feeley will likely be the top back-up in Philly. If starter Donovan McNabb goes down again, Feeley could put up some solid numbers.
