Rankings (are rad) QB Version

I'm still trying to figure out what the right amount of each spot to rank is, so let me know if you have an opinion. This is also taking longer than I thought, so hopefully everything gets finished before deadlines to set rosters tomorrow. Onto the QBs.

Quarterbacks
1. Alex Smith - SF (Arizona):
Another Niner takes the top spot. Arizona had one of the worst pass defenses in the league last season. We'll see if they did anything to improve it right out of the gate as Smith, with another year under his belt, starts the season with D-Jax, Gore, and Davis all ready to go.
2. Tony Romo - Dal (New York Giants): At home on Sunday night against a suspect NYG secondary. No Glenn? No worries.
3. Ben Roethlisberger - Pit (Cleveland): New offense comes out firing.
4. Matt Leinart - Ari (San Francisco): I could probably throw 2 TDs a game by accident playing with this offense. Factor in that this should be a shootout and Leinart should match my production at the very least.
5. Donovan McNabb - Phi (Green Bay): Always seems to put up top 5 numbers no matter who he plays against.
6. Eli Manning - NYG (Dallas): I figure they'll be losing most of this game so Manning will be throwing with success against a so-so secondary.
7. Matt Schaub - Hou (Kansas City): Sure we really don't know much about him as a starter, but he should be a hot waiver wire pickup after making his Texans debut against the Chiefs whose defense is led by, uh, that guy. You know the one.
8. Matt Hasselbeck - Sea (Tampa Bay): Yes, Tampa Bay is going to be awful, but the Seahawks probably won't have to air it out too much so Hasselbeck's numbers shouldn't be out of this world.
9. Steve McNair - Bal (Cincinnati): Play him while he's still alive and especially when he's playing against Cincy and their stellar defense.
10. Carson Palmer - Cincy (Baltimore): I really don't know why I'm ranking him so low this week; it's just one of those feelings I guess as this is a tough match up.
11. Tom Brady - NE (New York Jets): It was hard ranking him here with all the new weapons. The Pats will probably come out firing and then markedly slow the game down with the run.
12. David Garrard - Jax (Tennessee): You can count on at least one passing TD and a good chance at a rushing TD as well. Playing against Ten should mean this is the minimum you'll get.
