Kansas City Chiefs RB:
Just like 2010, washed up Thomas Jones will likely start the season as #1 on the Chiefs depth chart. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to have Jones around to give Charles a breather, but this equal carry crap is for the birds. You'd think after Charles averaged about 7 yards a carry and Jones averaged about 3 yards this would be a no brainer. But unfortunately, nothing's a no brainer when Todd Haley's involved. The Chiefs winning in 2010 was in spite of the clueless Haley, not because of him.
Washington Redskins QB:
Rex Grossman (emphasis on the Gross part) is at the top of the initial Redskins depth chart. Most reports have Mike Shanahan leaning towards John Beck as the starter, but he hasn't been practicing so Grossman atop the depth chart comes as no surprise. Regardless how this works out, Washington might have the worst starting QB in the NFL.
Miami Dolphins RB:
When the Dolphins acquired Reggie Bush, head coach Tony Sparano claimed the team was getting a 12-15 carry a game back. It sounded crazy at the time, but I think most people blew it off as a coach just going on about a new player the team had acquired. Well, I guess the Dolphins are still having those same dilusional thoughts because they've placed Reggie Bush at the top of their RB depth chart. I'm not dropping Daniel Thomas in my rankings because there's 2 simple outcomes here and both benefit him. The first is that Miami comes to its senses and makes Bush the complimentary back that he is. The second would be that the Dolphins actually keep Bush as the starter. They give him starter's touches and he lasts all of two games.
Carolina Panthers QB:
Jimmy Clausen has been named the starter for now but both QBs will get opportunities to start preseason games. I'd expect Cam Newton to open the season as the starter. He's the far more exciting player and the team drafted him 1st overall to put fans in the seats.
