My Thoughts,

• Bledsoe is a little over the hill and can be managed with a strong rush and decent coverage.
• McNabb is a big ??? If he is over the injury (which I think he will be) he can really beat you with his feet. His problem is that I have seen him confused by good defensive coordinaters (which we have).
• Manning certainly has the biggest upside, but isn't there yet. He is a statue with a strong arm and great genetics but still reminds me of Ramsey at times.
• Brunnel is also a little over the hill, but can still move around a little, has great chemistry with Cooley and Moss, and plays smarter than the other three guys listed above.

Futher, if you consider the backup situation, I think that we are ,hands down, in the best position of any of the other teams in our division.

I don't see QB as a weakness on our team, rather I see our team has been put together in such a way as to not require the QB to be a superstar. I think that has been and always will be the staple of a Joe Gibbs coached football team.

McNabb can frusterate D coordinators with his playmaking skills, moreso than the average QB. Luckily over the long run, he is very average, and I believe Gregg Williams will have no problem keeping him relatively in check. Manning will probably take another step foward this year, and the Giants will likely look very, very sharp in the early season. Of course they will lose a game they shouldnt sometime in November and fade on the back end like they always do. Bledsoe is the ol' reliable in this division, but that's not always a good thing. Brunell has a job in this offense, and unlike the other three, doesn't have to win games. He should get to throw on first down more this year, which should help his comp % a significant amount.

Few teams in the league are without a big question mark at this point; feel lucky that we are one of them. Also hope that in the month and a half between now and the season, a question mark doesnt develop.
