No. 24-21

24. Mark Sanchez – Philadelphia Eagles

I really didn’t know where to put Sanchez on this list. After some thought, I decided that his previous starting experience will give him a little credibility. Sanchez will climb even higher if Chip Kelly’s offense can play to his strengths.

23. Robert Griffin III – Washington Redskins

RG3 is now back and appears healthy, but for how long? As I see it, he has two problems to over come. First is that he can’t stay healthy for an extended time and the second is that he may not be on great terms with his fellow teammates. RG3 could be a top ten QB in this league, but I think he could also get knocked out for the rest of the year due to injury or have his team quit on him too.

22. Kyle Orton – Buffalo Bills (+1)

Kyle Orton has been surprisingly good for the Bills. If Orton can survive the relentless pass rush of Justin Houston and Tamba Hali this week and still make plays down field then I’ll bump him up next week’s list even more. I think Orton will struggle against the blitz and come back down to earth a little this week, but I’ve been wrong about him before.

21. Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals (-1)

If I had to sum up my thoughts on Andy Dalton in one word it would be……

“meh”

Sorry Bengals fans, but I think that’s about all that needs to be said.
