Every Bengals fan knows that Andy Dalton isn't Tom Brady, Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers. They also know that, right now, the third-year signal caller isn't Drew Brees, Matt Ryan or even Eli Manning. However, he has played well enough for the Bengals to go to the playoffs two years in a row and he is about where Joe Flacco was at this point in his career. While some have given up on him for one reason or another, it's fair to say there's still hope Dalton can take the Bengals to the Super Bowl -- with the help of the offensive talent around him and a strong defense, of course.

Today we take a look at another Green Bay Packer who will be fighting to keep his job this offseason: quarterback Graham Harrell. Harrell joined the Packers in 2010 and spent most of the season on the practice squad as the third-string quarterback, doing the same in 2011. Last season he was active for every game, and was the primary backup quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers. Unfortunately for Harrell, the one opportunity he had to play meaningful time in a regular-season game was marred by a fumble. After Rodgers was poked in the eye by a New Orleans Saints defender in week four, Harrell...

As incredible as it sounds, a player fresh off setting the Packers' all-time record for single season all-purpose yards is about to take on a bigger role this year. In just his second season, Randall Cobb became the Packers' breakout star on offense. With Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson missing time, Cobb became Aaron Rodgers' go-to option. Not only did he lead the team in receptions and receiving yards, but Cobb also assumed the vaunted slot role while still operating as the team's primary returner. Don't expect a repeat performance in 2013, however. With Jennings and Donald Driver dep...

He fell in the draft like Aaron Rodgers, but is Geno Smith the next elite QB? You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. We're doing our discount double check to find out.  Blast from the past To get those memory juices flowing, Aaron Rodgers was drafted with the 24th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft to Green Bay, after expecting to be drafted high, possibly to the San Francisco, who held the first overall pick. Instead, they went Alex Smith. What a poor move, in hindsight.  The teams following the 49ers, like many in the 2013 draft, had higher priority needs outside of ...
