#16 Detroit Lions
Starter - Matthew Stafford, Backup - Matt Cassel
Stafford has one of the best arm seen in the sport but he needs a better support cast. How does Matt Cassel still have a job in NFL, even though it is as a backup?

#15 Atlanta Falcons
Starter - Matt Ryan, Backup - Matt Schaub
Matt Ryan has had a legendary career till now, without winning the big one. The bad news is that they have Matt Schaub as the backup.
#14 New Orleans Saints
Starter - Drew Brees, Backup - Tom Savage
Saints are moving on to a more run-heavy offense which might help the longevity of Brees. Saints are one of the big boys of NFC and Brees would love to make one last run before father time gets him. Tom Savage is not what you dream of as a backup but Saints don't have an option. Hill is the scout team QB who is turning heads at camp.
#13 Seattle Seahawks
Starter - Russell Wilson, Backup - Austin Davis
Russell Wilson is a one-man offense for Seahawks with zero run game, no O-line help and below par receiving core. Russell Wilson does it all but sadly Austin Davis can't. The diminishing quality of Seahawks defense makes their chances of playoff dim.
#12 Los Angeles Rams
LA Rams - Starter - Jared Goff, Backup - Sean Mannion
Jared Goff took a big leap last season. Sean McVay has been a godsend to Rams offense. Sean Mannion is not the best backup option but he has been in the system and a good subordinate to the young future of Los Angeles. Goff is a sneaky MVP candidate with Gurley by the sides.
