Andrew Luck is being placed into a tough spot in Indianapolis.
Reggie Wayne is the only threat in a sea of mediocre talent. Competing in the worst division in the AFC could help, but the Colts still look to be the bottom feeders of the AFC South. He has a very questionable offensive line. Luck's career looks promising but I don't expect him to have a standout rookie season. The only thing that could make his situation worse is if he had high expectations and was replacing a Superbowl winning, four-time MVP, future hall-of-fame quarterback. Good he's only replacing some guy named Peyton Manning.

RG3's first season with the Redskins will be compared to Cam Newton's astounding rookie season last year. The record setting standard Newton set for dual threat quarterbacks is downright unfair. Playing in the most competitive division is another boulder in his path. Other than that Griffin looks to be in a decent position. A solid defense should take some pressure off his back. The Redskins are also equipped with a solid running back in Roy Helu Jr. These factors should propel him to a solid rookie season. Mike Shanahan's creative and flexible offense will afford Griffin the opportunity to get out of the pocket and make the highlight plays we love to see. Watching RG3 nation in Washington will be enticing, but I don't expect to see a playoff berth any time soon.

I am a bit worried about Ryan Tannehill being thrown to the wolves in the AFC East. Miami has a solid team around Tannehill, but he is not polished as a quarterback to be a winner yet in the NFL. Another strike against him is the division he is in. The defenses in the AFC East are built to stop the pass and force turnovers. Tannehill's strong arm and great athleticism will make a few plays for the Dolphins. It also doesn't hurt to have Reggie Bush in your backfield.

Russell Wilson is a surprise starting rookie quarterback. He shined in the pre-season and took over the starting spot for Seattle. I love the athleticism Wilson brings to the table, and though people are frightened by his size, he seems to have the skills to make it. His decent accuracy should help the Seahawks win a few games in a struggling division. One key for Wilson this year should be to continue to turn around and hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch in the backfield. You can never go wrong giving the ball to a man with such a nickname as "beast mode." I mean how could you lose while sporting neon green.

Weeden failed to score a single touchdown in the preseason, and the season is not looking too promising. You would think a 28-year old rookie quarterback would be the most NFL-ready, but he honestly is not prepared to win in a division with the Steelers and Ravens. Another strike against Weeden is the lack of weapons around him. The biggest threat on that side of the ball in Cleveland is rookie running back, Trent Richardson. He provides the Browns with a workhorse back they thought they had in Peyton Hillis. All in all, Brandon Weeden and the Browns are going to have a rebuilding year. Classic Cleveland ball team.
Thats stupid as hell. Did you not see what RGIII did to the Saints! the Saints of all teams!!! Skins are making the playoffs. RGIII will be Rook oty
