Not sure if you planned it that way, but outside of Bortles took all your first names.

Smith = The guy had zero offense to work with and was taken to be a QB for their future. If you sit him in exchange for QB Dog Killer it's going to mess up his confidence. Vick would get injured at some point anyway.

Manziel = He sold 2,000 tickets just by being drafted. I'm a big Hoyer fan but if you want to fill the seats and not annoy the fanbase further, start Manziel. Hoyer had one good game against the Bengals... he wasn't exactly impressive in the Vikings win and the guy is 28-29.

Fitzpatrick = Has proven he can have a good season and lead a decent team.

Bortles = Might as well start your #3 overall pick. Henne is okay but he didn't play that well last year. I would normally go with the vet because I think Jax has improved their D and you don't want a young guy turning it over, but get Bortles the experience now.

Locker = Guy can ball when he's healthy. They need to determine this year whether Locker is worth keeping. If he can't stay healthy you move on, but I doubt the Titans give up on him yet.

Schaub = Let him go out there and get killed this year against the NFC West before starting Carr later. Starting Carr against the worst schedule in the NFL is not exactly the best welcoming and it could cause him to end up like his brother.

Bridgewater = Cassel and Ponder are a joke. Move on from them.

Glennon = He actually played solid last year. Had a mid 80s QB rating and it's only going to get better with Sefarian-Jenkins, Evans, and the return of Doug Martin. Bucs are a solid sleeper team imo.

Are we talking about the same Ryan Fitzpatrick? :L Fitzy is one of the worst QBs in the league and constantly chokes in crunch time.
