Note: I have listed Orton because I don't think Tebow will be able to hold onto the job, but that remains to be seen.

You may ask why there's been some changes, some more significant than others. Well, it's a combination of several factors, but you can say most of it is due to how the players performed on Sunday.  Some of you may ask why Stafford dropped behind Romo and Brees, even though Romo didn't play this past week. Well, the answer is that when I put in all the data, Stafford is going to perform just slightly less than Romo and Brees this season. Starting next week, I will start adding points to the players so that you can see just exactly how they will finish this season, well, at least how I've projected them to finish. Roethlisberger is back in the standings after his amazing performance on Sunday, but I'm not entirely convinced that he can be THAT consistent.
