What teams have the worst QB? Worst back-up QB?
Looking at the Predict Top 5 in 2013 Draft, I went back to the history, and there seems to be a correlation between the team and their leading passer:
2012: Indianapolis Colts - Curtis Painter
2011: Carolina Panthers - Jimmy Clausen
2010: St. Louis Rams - Marc Bulger
2009: Detroit Lions - Dan Orlovsky
2008: Miami Dolphins - Cleo Lemon
2007: Oakland Raiders - Andrew Walter
2006: Houston Texans - David Carr
2005: San Francisco 49ers - Tim Rattay
Obviously QB play just keeps being more and more important, but perhaps the way to "predict" the Top 5 next year is to investigate:
1. Who has the worst starting QBs in the NFL
2. Who has the worst BACK-UP. We saw this last year with the Peyton injury, and if a starter goes down, which teams are in danger of tanking?

Cleveland, Oakland, Jacksonville, Arizona, and Seattle would be the 5 teams based on this premise with Jacksonville being the runaway front runner for the 1st pick in the draft.

I'd rank them in terms of awfulness:
1. Cleveland- Brandon Weeden-Colt McCoy-Seneca Wallace
2. Jacksonville- Blaine Gabbert-Chad Henne-Jordan Palmer
3. Arizona Cardinals- Kevin Kolb-John Skelton-Richard Bartel

Kansas City has Matt Cassel, Brady Quinn, Ricky Stanzi.
That is a pretty awful group of QBs.

I didn't want Weeden but he's got to be better than Blaine Gabbert. I'd put Cleveland third behind the Jags and Cardinals, with the Chiefs hitting somewhere in the top 5.

I think Seattle probably has the best backup QB situation in the NFL right now - it's the starting situation where the bar's set pretty low.

I think Cleveland is in the same situation. They have one of the better backups (and even 3rd QB in Wallace), but the starter is obviously pretty bad.

If Rivers goes down for the season, SD will enjoy that #1 pick.

Whithurst is not that bad. If Rodgers goes down early the Pack might just get #1 overall though

Thankfully it means you didn't watch Browns-Seahawks last year. (Not that I am suggesting you should, its one of the worst Quartbacked games ever).

Jacksonville has the worst QB. Have you seen Gabbert? I mean, if that isn't blatantly obvious, I doubt you've seen Gabbert.
Seattle, Minnesota, Oakland, Cleveland, KC, and Arizona could all see major improvements by drafting a real QB. Cincinnati too.
Sam Bradford may be the biggest name on the hot seat this year. If he doesn't perform, he could be out of a job, too.
edit: If Rodgers goes down, the Pack will still be way better than a lot of teams. No chance of the #1 overall pick.

Shaun Hill is way too low, and Matt Moore should be number 2 at worst after his season last year.

Well the Dolphins have a rookie starting in Tannehill and two mediocre at best veteran QB's in Moore and Garrard... so they have a really questionable situation.

No way. Palmer is awful. His arm is shot.
I'd take Ponder, Flynn, Freeman, Bradford over him easily, I wouldn't even think twice about it.
Skelton and Kolb? I'd have to think about it. Palmer really is an awful qb.

I'd have thought that was Moore's starter gig to lose.
Minny are certainly up there, the positive we have is that Ponder did flash some potential last year so could move out of the bottom 5 or so teams, probably wont hurt to have a decent LT for the first time in this millennium.
