CKL Starting QBs in 2013

It has been said that winning in the CKL is as easy as finding the best quarterback and then building around that player.  QB will be crazy-deep in 2013 fantasy football, but with 14 teams, that depth won't extend to every CKL team.  Here's my best guess at the 14 starting quarterbacks in the CKL's 12th season, to take place in 2013.  (Listed in alphabetical order...)

Brady, Tom
Brees, Drew
Flacco, Joe
Kaepernick, Colin
Luck, Andrew
Manning, Eli
Manning, Peyton
Newton, Cam
Rodgers, Aaron
Roethlisberger, Ben
Romo, Tony
Ryan, Matt
Stafford, Matthew
Wilson, Russell

Just missed the cut:
Cutler, Jay
Dalton, Andy
Freeman, Josh
Rivers, Philip
Schaub, Matt

Thoughts?

Ratbird Fans Rejoice!

I don't want to rub Nathan's nose in defeat, nor do I want to offend Paulie, but here's a great vid of a bunch of Bay Rednecks celebrating the Ravens win over the Broncos on Saturday night.  Enjoy!
