[QUOTE="EricSe, post: 2563053, member: 728688"] Most likely, Christian Ponder with the Vikings. Ponder has a legitimate chance to start the 1st game, and the Vikings have plenty of talent around him, which will help, as they may not ask him to do much. The Vikings have a lot of talent on the offensive side of the ball, and their defensive front 7 is still pretty good. Much like everyone else, I believe that Carolina wasted their pick on Newton, making him the 3rd quarterback they have drafted in the last 2 years, with a chance to select Andrew Luck in next year's draft as well, really makes this a bad pick. While Newton has huge upside, he has way too many questions, and will struggle to pick up NFL playbooks as well as read NFL defenses. The lockout probably hurts him more than any other player. Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Mallet, and Colin Kaepernick may not see the field in their rookie season, and I don't think Locker will see it until closer to the end of the season, if the Titans are struggling to compete. Dalton may see action immediately, if Carson Palmer isn't traded or decides to retire. Outside of Ponder, he may be the only other rookie quarterback to have a positive impact, but I think the Bengals are heading in the wrong direction again as a franchise, as they continue to make questionable personnel decisions, and keeping Marvin Lewis was a mistake. So I think Ponder will have a solid season, but will most likely have the best rookie year simply by default. [/QUOTE]
