QB Rankings -- Week 5

We all saw the handwriting on the wall over the past few weeks. Coaches were not going to be patient with lackluster starts from their quarterbacks, and we had already seen Aaron Brooks lose his job. Well, last week Vince Young got his first official NFL start and this week we will witness the starting debut of Heisman Trophy winner Matt Leinart for the Arizona Cardinals. Other hot seats have cooled down a bit, but you never know...could Daunte Culpepper be next?

Here's a look at the Week 5 Quarterback rankings. My last reminder -- green = favorable matchup against a bottom 5 pass defense, red = unfavorable matchup against a top 5 pass defense, and orange = player is battling injury.
