Peyton Manning |

Indy added yet another weapon in rookie WR Anthony Gonzalez to play between Pro Bowl WRs Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. With talent like that, Manning should hold on to the top spot in 2007.

Carson Palmer |

Coming off a major knee injury, Palmer didn't re-gain his old form until the second half of 2006. He threw for 2,157 yards and 16 TDs in the final eight games. |

Tom Brady |

As if Brady wasn't good enough already... Now he has three great receivers to throw to in Randy Moss, Donte' Stallworth, and Wes Welker. Most importantly, Moss' red zone ability should lead to more Brady TD passes.
|

Drew Brees |
4,418 |

Brees led the NFL in passing yards a year ago. With great young targets like WR Marques Colston and RB Reggie Bush, don't expect Brees to slow down this year.

Marc Bulger |
4,301 |

|
One of the NFL's most underrated passers, Bulger is set up for another big season. Along with Torry Holt and Steven Jackson, St. Louis added WR Drew Bennett and TE Randy McMichael to an already powerful offense. |
| 6 |
 |
Donovan McNabb |
2,647 |
18 |
212 |

6 |
|
McNabb was on his way to an MVP-type season before a knee injury cut it short. He's a superstar when healthy, but after suffering a major injury for the second straight season, there's no telling if D-Nabb can stay healthy.
|
| 7 |
 |
Tony Romo |
2,903 | 19 | 102 | 0 | 13 |
|
When he's on Romo is great. And with a great supporting cast in Big D, he has a chance to be the Cowboys' next star. But Romo has to make better decisions. He threw 8 INTs in the last five games of 2006.
|
| 8 |
 |
Jon Kitna |
4,208 |
21 |
156 |
2 |
22 |
|
So maybe Kitna isn't the most talented QB in the league. And he throws too many INTs. But Detroit has the best young receiving corps in the NFL, and an offensive coordinator who loves to pass it. Kitna should also be more comfortable in his second season in coordinator Mike Martz's complicated passing scheme. |
| 9 |
 |
Matt Hasselbeck |
2,442 |
18 |
110 |
0 |
15 |
|
After an injury-riddled 2006, Hasselbeck should be healthy and return to Pro Bowl form. A full off-season to work with star WR Deion Branch should have Seattle's passing game clicking again.
|
| 10 |
 |
Jay Cutler |
1,001 |
9 |
18 |
0 |

|
Cutler will enter his second season as the Broncos starter. He has a ton of talent and the smarts to succeed in head coach Mike Shanahan's West Coast offense. Cutler started five games as a rookie and threw multiple TD passes in four of them.
