2011 NFL Free Agents: Quarterbacks


2011 NFL Free Agent Positions:
QB | RB | FB | WR | TE | OT | G | C | DE | DT | OLB | ILB | CB | S | K/P | Recap



2011 Free Agency: Star rating is out of five. Age listing as of Sept. 1, 2011.

  1. Peyton Manning, QB, Colts. Age: 35.
    Re-signed with Colts (5 years, $90 million)

    Statistically, Peyton Manning had a poor year by his standards, throwing 17 interceptions to 33 touchdowns and generating just a 6.9 YPA. However, considering that he was working with no-names like Blair White and Jacob Tamme all year, Manning had an exceptional season. It's highly doubtful that Bill Polian will allow him to hit the open market.

  2. QB Eagles No. 7. Age: 31.
    Franchised by Eagles

    QB Eagles No. 7 still has his elite athleticism and arm strength. He also still has his inability to make multiple reads and recognize the blitz. He turns 31 in June, so you have to wonder how much longer he'll maintain his elusiveness.



  3. Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seahawks. Age: 35.
    Signed with Titans (3 years, $21 million)

    Matt Hasselbeck looked like he belonged in a glue factory at many points during the year, but played really well in the postseason. He was ultimately betrayed by close to a dozen drops by his receiving corps in Chicago, but he proved that he can still get it done if he has the support around him.

  4. Caleb Hanie (RFA), QB, Bears. Age: 25.
    Re-signed with Bears (1 year)

    A former sleeper of Mel Kiper's, Caleb Hanie handled himself very well in relief of Jay Cutler and Todd Collins in the NFC Championship. I'd like to see Hanie get a shot at a starting gig somewhere in 2012. For now, the Bears will have to use a second-round tender on the Colorado State product.

  5. Vince Young, QB, Titans. Age: 28.
    Signed with Eagles (1 year)

    Vince Young is stupid and immature. That's what it comes down to. Young has immense talent and wins games against crappy teams, but he'll never lead a team deep into the playoffs until he improves the mental aspect of his game and takes football more seriously. I don't see that happening anytime soon.

  6. Marc Bulger, QB, Ravens. Age: 35.
    Announced retirement

    A year off from football is exactly what Marc Bulger needed. If his next team has a good offensive line, Bulger could recapture some of his early-2000s magic.

  7. Billy Volek, QB, Chargers. Age: 35.
    Re-signed with Chargers (2 years)

    Billy Volek is one of the better backup quarterbacks in the NFL. It sounds as though he may join Ron Rivera to temporarily take over as Carolina's starting quarterback.

  8. Alex Smith, QB, 49ers. Age: 27.
    Re-signed with 49ers (1 year, $5 million)

    Let's use some GameCenter commentary for this: "reguardless Alex Is a GREAT Secondary I dont want him gone I just dont want him as a Starter." Translation: Alex Smith would make for a good backup, but not a starter. That, or Alex Smith can play defensive back. You never know with these GameCenter people.

  9. Bruce Gradkowski, QB, Raiders. Age: 28.
    Signed with Bengals (2 years)

    The Polish Point-Shaver isn't the most skilled quarterback in the league, but he has a Jeff Garcia-type feistiness and is capable of being a low-end starter in the NFL.



  10. Luke McCown, QB, Jaguars. Age: 30.
    Re-signed with Jaguars (1 year)

    Back in August, I predicted that Luke McCown would supplant David Garrard as the starter this year. McCown came in for an ineffective Garrard in Week 2, but tore his ACL amid going 11-of-19 for 120 yards. McCown is a quality backup who won't kill a team if he has to start for a few games.

  11. Seneca Wallace, QB, Browns. Age: 31.
    Re-signed with Browns (3 years, $9 million)

    Completing 63.4 percent of his passes on a 6.9 YPA, Seneca Wallace proved once again that he can be a capable backup in this league.

  12. Kerry Collins, QB, Titans. Age: 38.
    Signed with Colts

    Kerry Collins plays drunk sometimes, but his 28-of-39, 300-yard, two-touchdown, no-interception performance at Indianapolis in the season finale indicates that he can still be a solid backup in this league.

  13. Tarvaris Jackson, QB, Vikings. Age: 28.
    Signed with Seahawks

    Tavaris Jackson can be a decent backup quarterback in the NFL. No one aside from Brad Childress thinks he can start, however.

  14. Troy Smith, QB, 49ers. Age: 27.
    Troy Smith is a mediocre backup quarterback. He can make stuff happen on the ground, but his completion percentage (50.3%) was horrific this season.

  15. Chad Pennington, QB, Dolphins. Age: 35.
  16. Dennis Dixon (RFA), QB, Steelers. Age: 26. -- Tendered by Steelers
  17. Derek Anderson, QB, Cardinals. Age: 28. -- Signed with Panthers
  18. Drew Stanton, QB, Lions. Age: 27. -- Re-signed with Lions (1 year)
  19. Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware. Age: 23. -- Signed with Dolphins
  20. Nate Davis, QB, Colts. Age: 24.
  21. Rex Grossman, QB, Redskins. Age: 31. -- Re-signed with Redskins
  22. Jim Sorgi, QB, Giants. Age: 30.
  23. Matt Moore, QB, Panthers. Age: 27. -- Signed with Dolphins (2 years)


  24. Trent Edwards, QB, Jaguars. Age: 27. -- Signed with Raiders
  25. Matt Leinart, QB, Texans. Age: 28. -- Re-signed with Texans
  26. Kyle Boller, QB, Raiders. Age: 30. -- Re-signed with Raiders (1 year, $1.25 million)
  27. Tyler Thigpen, QB, Dolphins. Age: 27. -- Signed with Bills (3 years)
  28. David Carr, QB, 49ers. Age: 32. -- Signed with Giants
  29. Mark Brunell, QB, Jets. Age: 40. -- Re-signed with Jets
  30. Brian Brohm (RFA), QB, Bills. Age: 25.
  31. J.P. Losman, QB, Seahawks. Age: 30.
  32. Dan Orlovsky, QB, Texans. Age: 28. -- Signed with Colts
  33. Rudy Carpenter (ERFA), QB, Buccaneers. Age: 25.
  34. Charlie Frye, QB, Raiders. Age: 30.
  35. Kellen Clemens, QB, Jets. Age: 28. -- Signed with Redskins
  36. Jordan Palmer (RFA), QB, Bengals. Age: 27.
  37. John Parker Wilson, QB, Falcons. Age: 25.
  38. Brodie Croyle, QB, Chiefs. Age: 28.
  39. Keith Null, QB, Panthers. Age: 25.
  40. Jake Delhomme, QB, Browns. Age: 36.
  41. Todd Bouman, QB, Jaguars. Age: 39.
  42. Todd "Tom" Collins, QB, Bears. Age: 39.

Why not put Tebow in a pro version of the wishbone with a runningback and fullback behind him and attack both sides of the defensive line. Quick strikes to the slot and tight end will open up lanes through the defense. The wishbone quarterback would be required to run often as an option to his other backs. Certainly would jack pro defenses up as it is geared to modest gains and ball control. If the Packers used this as an alternative to Rodgers, this scheme with the newly acquired Lacy and Franklin along side Cobb and Finley as short passing targets should cause some pro disruption.

Ok am I crazy here, or would Tim Tebow be a great fit on the Vikings? Personally, I think Christian Ponder is the worst starting quarterback in the league right now. I'd take Blaine Gabbert or Brandon Weeden over him, yes. AP carried that team last year, and they won games despite Ponder, but imagine if Tebow was on the roster. Assuming they changed their offensive scheme to match his talents, like Denver did, that running game would be deadly. Plus he'd have a veteran to throw to in Jennings and a potential playmaker in Patterson. Just makes too much sense to me...

tebow only feeds the media with all of his marketing and interviews. he is a willing partner in the media circus.

Tebow is so over rated.

Tebow frats hard. But really, he gets massive plays downfield and you see large runs after the catch due to safeties having to respect his ability to physically run them over. Just because it's unconventional doesn't mean it's bad. EX: Mobil1. Tebow could easily run a read-option, receivers moving down the field offense that could theoretically be INCREDIBLY productive with massive splash plays. And for Jacksonville, what do they really have to lose? Might as well gamble on Tebowmania.

Finally an analyst who knows what they're talking about. To say that Tebow can't play quarterback is pure retardation. He clearly proved he can succeed. He may not do it the way it's been done before, but it doesn't really matter how he gets it done.

Tebow > Henne / Gabbert by far

I would prefer Chad Henne to Tim Tebow personally

Tebow definitely shouldn't be a tight end or running back or whatever what he should be is a third string quaterback with the Patriots who will kind hide him from the media and just let him be your scout team quaterback who the only snaps he ses is in the pre season

Tebow's amazing playoff victory had only 10 completions! Only 10 passes out of 21 were completed. That's a lot of help by your receivers to get you to 316 yards. His rushing attempts were the same number as completions. He had 2 games for Denver where he was a primary passer. Against Detroit he threw 39 times for 18 completions, 172 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT. Then against Chicago he threw 40 times for 21 completions, 236 YDS, 1 TD, 1 INT. So his yards are sure low compared to his 10 completion playoff game, huh? His receivers helped a lot that game. By the way he was terrible against New England the next game.

Tebow sucks he won a game completing 3 PASSES so it certainly wasn't him to win them the game and Demaryius Thomas' runs after catches in the playoff game won it for them not only did he turn the opening overtime play into a 80 yard touchdown but also did other times his speed bailed out Tebow's terrible throws multiple times so don't be a dumbass Walt he SUCKS
