CUTLER ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cutler may not be the best QB outta the three, but hes got the best supporting cast. Second would be leinart, but his receivers keep getting injured. Young could do a lot (he would be the best INDIVIDUAL qb, but not the best in a team), young can throw (well, a little) and mostly can run. Titans doesnt have any good recievers though. Cutler however, has T. Henry to pound it out, good O-line, but I cant say it enough, for a QB to succed, you need to have a good running game and good blocking.

Young is wayyy over rated. He is just like Vick. Good athlete but not a good QB. He has no weapons so he is the weapon. Cutler will be good but will be just handing off most of the time. Leinart will be special. He has Boldin and Fitzgerald. A decent tight end. The Edge. The O line just needs to give him about a second and a half more than they did last year and he is a bonafide Pro Bowler. I expect Leinart to be the best of the rookies that came in the last couple years. Better than Alex Smith, Cutler, Young, Quinn, or Russell. i don't know about Aaron Rogers yet and Rothlesomething already has a ring so he can't be included because he is a champion.

Well it is hard to say Vince Young only showed flashes of brilliance when he was the rookie of the year and won way more games than Leinart and Cutler combined. Basically your questioned was directed to Cutler and Leinart. Being that Cutler is on the best team out of the three, I expect him to have a good season. Young is the most talented out of the three but his team the Tennessee Titans have not really answered any of the issues that could make them a better team. Like Michael Vick, because Young is so talented his organization expects him to do it all by himself. Leinart is a player that I think has a big upside. If given enough surrounding talent, Leinart could be an all pro in a few years.

I think Leinart and Cutler both have potential to be great quarterbacks. Unfortunately for Leinart, he plays for the Arizona Cardinals, and they have some other voids they need to fill (like an offensive line). I think Edgarrin James agrees with me. Jay Cutler is on a good team so he doesn't have to do as much. Hand the ball off to Travis Henry and let him do his thing. Broncos should win a lot of games this season. The Cardinals will make strides if they can get an offensive line.

well obviously young had a very bright rookie year getting rookie of the year and the madden cover. hes team has jus gotten better depth and hes should have a pretty decent second season, IF HE SURVIVES THE MADDEN CURSE. leinart will definately have a good season since boldin and fitzgerald r startin to get more mature and there already probowl caliber recivers. leinart also has edge in the backfield and if they can fix that line good things will happen. cutler is the only ppl arent sure about. the broncos have a very good o line but poor cutler has no one to throw to. the broncos have 4 running backs and havent even named there starter so hes in a very confused offense. although he has a good arm he wont be able to find anyone

Young...pure athelete.
But Leinart and Cutler have pro skills and will be good QBs in the NFL. Think of Leinart as a little less than Carson Palmer (one of the top 2-3 QBs in the league) and Cutler as a Rothlesberger (know about hard work). But you gotta think that Vince Young is Michael Vick, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady combined.

Cutler will for the following reasons. Better organization around him, good coaching staff (Shanahan has coached some of the best QBs ever ....Elway, Montana, Steve Young), better talent base around him on O, better team D. I was impressed with how Cutler got better each week last year. With more experience each week he'll improve rapidly. Next would be Leinart. Young is talented but does not have the players around him. With a full year playing I think Young will take a step back this year and struggle.

Vince Young will get the Titans into the play-offs at 10-6 even though his passing numbers won't be that great. He'll be a Pro-Bowler, 2nd string.
Matt Leinart will improve leaps & bounds from last season & finish at 8-8 with good numbers to show for. Needs 1 more season to gel with the offense before we can start talking play-offs.
Jay Cutler will get the Broncos into the play-offs at 12-4. Possible Pro-Bowler alternate if one of the already selected AFC Pro-Bowl QB's gets hurt.

Young i dont know about hes a phenom i mean nobody will stop him if he dont get hurt they will make the playoffs with outa doubt and contend for their division. If the Madden curse dont cut in some might not believe in it but the facts stand.
Matt, Will Do better than he did new offensive coach and a good one in fact in the Whiz and now hes gonna have a better O-line and Grimm will help shape up that line a lil bit and having the Edge, Anquan, and Fitzi dont hurth any either
And Jay C, hard to tell he showed signs of the next big thing for the mile high and should turn out right i mean they got Travis Henry a killer running back and they are getting Rod Smith back off of injurys so he will be alright if not the same as his rookie year.

I can help but be alittle biased towards VY after that showing in the championship game.
If I am down 6 and need a touchdown, it's young no question.
I think with leinart, he needs the line to block, the running back to be a "semi" threat and decent recievers. So as long as Arizona can't run the ball, he'll be in that lower 2/upper 3rd tier of quarterbacks.
Cutler is the wildcard. We havent really seen enough of him. They do have Javon walker, and a consistent running game, but it remains to be seen how he reacts when he is "The man" and falls down by a few touchdowns.
Does he become a strong arms brett farve, forcing passes, or a strong armed john elway, managing the offense.
People kinda knock running quarterbacks, but when that defense knows the qb can get you for 5 yards on a 2 and 10, it changes the game. Elway was effective not just for the cannon arm, but when he tucked that ball and took 5 6 7 yard chuncks from the defense.
Its ok for white boys to run too ;-) Just be better than "Jake the Snake"
