Everybody has a quarterback, but not everybody feels all that great about it. There arent enough franchise quarterbacks to go around in the NFL, and there sure as heck arent enough reliable backups. So while each of the 32 teams starts the season with high hopes, many of them know the answer to the question at their most important position likely wont turn out to be the one they have right now.With that in mind, we ranked the NFLs 32 teams according to how much confidence they have in their overall quarterback situation -- not just their starter -- to begin the 2016 season.1. Green Bay PackersQB Confidence Index: 9.8Aaron Rodgers is the best there is, and his favorite target is returning. After a year playing backup for QB Jedi Mike McCarthy, Brett Hundley likely could acquit himself pretty well if anything were to happen to Rodgers. The Pack secured the top QB confidence spot once Tom Brady opted to serve his suspension.2. New England PatriotsQB Confidence Index: 9.6Jimmy Garoppolo was ready to go a year ago. He can keep the Jet Ski upright until Brady returns in Week 5. If Brady had been playing all 16, the Patriots might have been a 10.0. Come Week 5, the confidence index will soar.3. Carolina PanthersQB Confidence Index: 9.3Well, they do have the reigning league MVP, and he gets his best receiver (Kelvin Benjamin)?back after not having had him last season because of a knee injury. Cam Newton has missed two games in five years, and backup Derek Anderson won them both.4. Seattle SeahawksQB Confidence Index: 9.1Russell Wilson is always underrated, but his 2015 passer rating was 132.8 over the final seven games, largely without Jimmy Graham and Marshawn Lynch. If Tarvaris Jackson were still the backup instead of Trevone Boykin, Seattle might rank even higher.5. Pittsburgh SteelersQB Confidence Index: 9.1Ben Roethlisbergers completion percentage was up in each of the past five years, to 68.0 in 2015. When hes healthy, Pittsburghs confidence is Ricky Bobby thinking he can live to age 245; if Landry Jones is starting, its Ricky Bobby sticking a knife in his leg to prove he cant walk.6. Arizona CardinalsQB Confidence Index: 8.6When Carson Palmer starts, the Cardinals are 20-4, counting playoffs, the past two seasons. When he doesnt, theyre 5-6. Still, the Cards have confidence in backup Drew Stanton.7. New Orleans SaintsQB Confidence Index: 8.5Drew Brees passing yardage total last season was his lowest since 2010 but was still a league-leading 4,870 yards. At 37, he probably has a couple more years of high-end production.8. Cincinnati BengalsQB Confidence Index: 8.3Andy Dalton was on track for 4,000 yards and 31 touchdowns before he got hurt in December. Backup AJ McCarron acquitted himself well in relief. So the Bengals are looking good at QB -- unless it was all some Hue Jackson magic trick.9. San Diego ChargersQB Confidence Index: 8.2Philip Rivers hasnt missed a game since taking over for Brees in 2006. No one threw or completed more passes last season. There are plenty of questions about the group around him, but Rivers is a known quantity in San Diego.10. New York GiantsQB Confidence Index: 8.2Eli Manning hasnt missed a game since taking over for Kurt Warner as the Giants starter in 2004. The past two seasons have been two of his best statistically. Plenty of questions surround the group around him, but the Giants know exactly what they have in Manning.11. Atlanta FalconsQB Confidence Index: 8.1Matt Ryan doesnt miss games, but something seems amiss in Atlanta. Last years Falcons had the leagues top receiver and its seventh-leading rusher, and somehow Ryan came up with only 21 touchdowns against 16 interceptions. Matt Schaub waits in the wings.12. Chicago BearsQB Confidence Index: 7.8What? Are we sure about a confidence rating this high with exciting-as-rye-toast Jay Cutler still under center? His underwhelming career includes one 4,000-yard season ... eight years ago. But the Bears get a bump because Brian Hoyer might be the leagues best backup.13. Indianapolis ColtsQB Confidence Index: 7.8The richest contract in NFL history screams confidence, but Andrew Luck is coming off injury, and veteran backup Matt Hasselbeck has been replaced by Scott Tolzien. No problem if Luck can stay healthy and get that 58.1 career completion percentage up. Until he does, well leave the Colts here.14. Baltimore RavensQB Confidence Index: 6.9Hey, remember Joe Flaccos 2012 playoff run to the Super Bowl? His performance since then hasnt been the same. And did you know he has never passed for 4,000 yards? The Ravens were 2-4 without him last season but only 3-7 with him.15. Detroit LionsQB Confidence Index: 6.4Did you know Matthew Staffords completion percentage last season was a career-high 67.2? That was with Megatron, who is now gone. With veteran Dan Orlovsky backing up, its now a middling situation.16. Oakland RaidersQB Confidence Index: 6.3In the up-and-comers category, Derek Carr is as hot a young QB as this league has. The gains he made in his second year, as well as his four fourth-quarter comebacks, have inflated the Raiders confidence in the 25-year-old.17. Jacksonville JaguarsQB Confidence Index: 6.1Fun fact: Blake Bortles backup is still 31-year-old Chad Henne. (We know, right?) Bortles has weapons all around him but has to bring down the interceptions (35 in two years).18. Tampa Bay BuccaneersQB Confidence Index: 5.3Its hard to be confident in any player after one year, but Jameis Winston was everything the Bucs could have hoped for in a rookie. Theres no reason he cant build on it. Backup Mike Glennon has 18 starts, making this situation as solid as any other built around young guys.19. Miami DolphinsQB Confidence Index: 5.1Coach Adam Gase coaxed a steady, productive, drama-free year out of Cutler in Chicago last season, so his confidence should be sky-high. Backup Matt Moore is fine, but its tough for anyone to be confident in Ryan Tannehill, who failed to finish above .500 in any of his first four NFL seasons.20. Washington RedskinsQB Confidence Index: 5.1Nothing against Kirk Cousins in 2015, but he did it in the NFC East, and if Washington were truly confident, it would have talked contract instead of slapping a franchise tag on him. Hes 11-14 as a starter, and his backup is Colt McCoy. This could fall apart in a hurry.21. Kansas City ChiefsQB Confidence Index: 5.1With Alex Smith, youre getting confidence when it comes to avoiding turnovers (no more than seven INTs in a season since 2010). On the flip side, he has had 20 or more TD passes only twice.22.?Minnesota VikingsQB Confidence Index:?4.5From?Teddy Bridgewater?to?Shaun Hill?to?Sam Bradford?in the span of a week, not much has really changed with this one. Bridgewater was just 21st in the league in pass attempts while starting all 16 games last season. Having Peterson makes quarterback confidence less critical, and Bradfords primary job will be to run the offense through the run game and maybe hit a couple of play-action deep shots up the field.23. Buffalo BillsQB Confidence Index: 4.5No one is confident of anything in Buffalo. Tyrod Taylor is a bit like Minnesotas Teddy Bridgewater in that little was asked of him in 2015. His 20 touchdowns and six interceptions indicate the Bills could ask more. Will they? And if he goes down, its unclear whether EJ Manuel has any tricks left.24. Tennessee TitansQB Confidence Index: 4.4The entire league feels confident that Marcus Mariota will be great, but the Titans seem so far away in all other areas that you wonder how hell hold up. Tennessee could move quickly up this list if some questions around Mariota -- at wide receiver and O-line -- get answered early.25. Houston TexansQB Confidence Index: 4.1Any confidence we have in Brock Osweiler stems from the fact that coach Bill OBrien started four different quarterbacks last season and made the playoffs. Osweiler took 23 sacks in his eight games with Denver, so hell feel right at home if the Texans line cant protect him.26. New York JetsQB Confidence Index: 3.9Ryan Fitzpatricks return helps the Jets. But how can we think the Jets have any confidence in him after holding firm for so long on an offer that was half of Osweilers salary?27.?Philadelphia EaglesQB Confidence Index:?3.8It appears they will go with the rookie out of North Dakota State to start the season.?Carson Wentz?almost certainly isnt ready for this, which means there will be some ugly moments. But?Chase Daniel?is in Philadelphia because coach Doug Pederson knows he knows the offense. If things fall apart for the rookie, there is a reasonable safety net in place. But the Eagles are clearly in rebuild, and theyd better be confident they wont wreck Wentz by playing him before hes ready.28. San Francisco 49ersQB Confidence Index: 3.6Blaine Gabbert has beaten out social activist Colin Kaepernick for the starting job, but theres been little indication of long-term confidence in this arrangement. Its possible Kaepernick could start a few games before its over. Its still possible he could end up getting cut. Regardless, Kelly has tremendous confidence in Kelly after coaching the likes of Nick Foles and Sam Bradford to strong seasons in Philadelphia.29. Denver BroncosQB Confidence Index: 3.3All Mark Sanchez had to do was hold off seventh-round pick Trevor Siemian. He couldnt. As a result, the champs will ask Siemian not to steer their repeat train into a ditch while the defense carries them and Paxton Lynch gets ready.30. Dallas CowboysQB Confidence Index: 2.7The Cowboys would be really freaked out about Tony Romos injury if Dak Prescott hadnt had so much success in the preseason. Coaches think hell do fine, but they cant be that confident.31. Los Angeles RamsQB Confidence Index: 1.9Until top pick Jared Goff is ready, its Case Keenum, who has 15 career NFL starts and wasnt invited back to Houston last year. The Rams will take as much time as Goff needs, but theyre hoping its not much.32. Cleveland BrownsQB Confidence Index: 0.8This is easily the NFLs worst QB situation. Robert Griffin III hasnt seen the field since 2014, when his QBR was 33.5. Josh McCown is a good bet to start more games, as is Cody Kessler. Swell Bottle Canada . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. Swell Canada Sale . -- Mike Smith never saw his first NHL goal go in. http://www.swellbottlesaleclearance.com/swell-water-bottle-wood-wholesale.html . Mitch Holmberg added a goal and three assists. Connor Chartier also scored for the Chiefs (3-0-0). Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1. Swell Marble Water Bottle . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence. Swell Canada . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. Training camps are opening around the NHL with a little more elbow room than usual.Thanks to the World Cup of Hockey, more than 150 players and almost half the leagues head coaches werent on the ice with their NHL teams at the start of camp this week. The Chicago Blackhawks are barely recognizable without Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Corey Crawford, Marian Hossa and coach Joel Quenneville. The Washington Capitals dont have Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom or coach Barry Trotz and the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins are without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.Really weird, Capitals defenseman Karl Alzner said Friday. I was looking out on the ice and something doesnt seem right. Were obviously light on numbers, so thats kind of strange. Youre used to having just swarms of guys everywhere and it just doesnt feel that way this year.This is the first time since 2004 that the NHL has held a preseason tournament, and that event happened on the eve of the lockout that canceled the entire season. Camps were already opening later than usual because of the World Cup, and the first preseason games begin Sunday when the Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues have split-squad games in those cities. The real games begin Oct. 12.There isnt much time to get everyone on the same page. Perhaps thats why Penguins coach Mike Sullivan and Edmonton Oilers coach Todd McLellan raced back to be on the ice Friday.This is my responsibility to run this team and I love to do it, said Sullivan, who was an assistant for the U.S. team. Im excited to be a part of it. I didnt want to take any time off.Many World Cup players are being afforded a bit of time off before reporting to work. Washington general manager Brian MacLellan expects U.S. players T.J. Oshie, John Carlson and Matt Niskanen on the ice Monday.The 82-game season is a long enough grind that guys arent rushing back if they dont have to.I know a lot of the guys, at least the American guys, have talked about taking a few days off then going their teams, Kane said Thursday. Ill go back to Chicago and see whats in store and talk to (GM Stan Bowman) and Joel and kind of get a feel for what they want me to do, whats best for me.ddddddddddddPlayers from whichever teams lose in the World Cup semifinals this weekend wont be far behind. In the meantime, their absences open the door for others.Its good for guys who typically wouldnt get a look in camp to show the coaches and scouts and staff what they can do for the future if something happens, San Jose Sharks defenseman Paul Martin said. For the most part, the guys that are gone are guys who can step right back in and be the players that they are for this team. Theres not anything that well be lacking as far as chemistry. It just gives other guys a chance to step up and see what theyve got.The same can be said for coaches. Torontos Mike Babcock was able to check in on the Maple Leafs when they reported for physicals Thursday and is in touch with assistant Jim Hiller every day, just like Capitals associate coach Todd Reirden is with Trotz, a Babcock assistant with Team Canada.Reirden was a finalist for Calgarys coaching vacancy, so running camp in Trotzs absence is more on-the-job training for a head gig.Todds done a great job, MacLellan said. Hes a good communicator. Hes at the point in his career that hes ready to take on more responsibility and hes getting interviewed for head-coaching jobs.However strange these first few days of camp are as coaches and players trickle in, Babcock doesnt think there are any disadvantages to this different year.When the guys are no longer in the tournament theyll take some days off and rejoin the guys, he said. I just think its a win-win situation for (everyone). Anyone that can be involved in the World Cup should be involved in the World Cup because your growth individually and for your team is positive. And then, you know a few days of those veterans in training camp without me, they probably cherish it.---AP Sports Writers Will Graves in Pittsburgh and Josh Dubow in San Jose, California, contributed to this report.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .
