One of the more interesting aspects of the NFL preseason is following the quarterback competitions going on around the league. By my count there are 22 teams with set-in-stone QBs with zero chance to be unseated. Guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson simply are not going to have their jobs taken away in the preseason.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Buffalo Bills, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans and St. Louis Rams are sticking behind their guys for better or worse. Come back to us in Week 5 to see if they’ve decided that was the right decision.

That leaves us with four teams having true quarterback competitions and to get us started lets go right to the main event.
