Training camps are underway, the NFL season is right around the corner, and to get you ready for 2008, FanHouse previews all 32 teams, "heat index" style. We'll rate each club in 10 categories on a scale of 1 to 10, high score wins.Quarterback: A year ago at this time,
Charlie Frye was
the man. That lasted about 10 minutes into the Week 1 Steelers game before
Derek Anderson came on in relief, and, well, you saw how things turned out. Anderson led Cleveland to 10 wins, and made the Pro Bowl, but faces pressure to exceed last year's surprising performance. I think he'll be fine, but if he falters,
Brady Quinn will be eagerly awaiting his shot.
Heat Index: 7Running backs: Jamal Lewis was left for dead, at least in the professional sense, when the Ravens decided to "move in another direction" last offseason. Lewis signed a short-term deal with the Browns and proceeded to rush for more than 1,300 yards. He now has a new contract and will run behind one of the most underrated o-lines in the AFC.
Heat Index: 7Receivers: Prior to
Donte' Stallworth putting out a hit on No. 1 wide receiver
Braylon Edwards, these were some of the best pass-catchers in the conference. Actually, Edwards should be fine, and even with
Joe Jurevicius on the mend, it's a talented group of big-play threats. And although he listed as a tight end on the depth chart,
Kellen Winslow in No. 1A after Edwards.
Heat Index: 9
