Here is an article I stumbled across listing the teams in order of QB desperation. Just thought I'd share.


At any given time, a significant percentage of the NFL’s 32 teams are looking to upgrade at the quarterback position. Others are hoping for saviors. And others are in search of potential successors for their current starters. Rarely is anyone completely uninterested in potentially good quarterbacks.
In order to establish a gauge for which teams are more desperate than others, we give you our quarterback desperation rankings.


32. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck is a stud with three years under his belt and at least a dozen ahead of him. No need to even think about quarterbacks right now.
31. Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers is smack dab in the middle of his prime. The Packers are years away from having to worry about successors.
30. Seattle Seahawks: Russell Wilson is basically in the same position as Luck. Might not be quite as good overall, but he’s a Super Bowl champion and two-time NFC champ.
29. New England Patriots: Tom Brady will be 38 before he plays another game but they’ll give Jimmy Garoppolo a long look before going anywhere else.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers: Ben Roethlisberger is only 32 and coming off a career year. Plenty of gas left in that tank.
27. Miami Dolphins: Rumor is they’re looking to extend Ryan Tannehill long-term. That might be a little ambitious, but there’s no reason for them to chase signal callers right now.
26. Denver Broncos: They’re likely to get Peyton Manning back and there’s a chance Brock Osweiler can become Manning’s successor.
25. Kansas City Chiefs: Hard to believe Alex Smith is still only 30, and he suits what they do. No rush here.
24. New York Giants: Eli Manning’s got a few years left in him and that offense could be jacked with the return of Victor Cruz in 2015.

That doesn't surprise me, but it might surprise the nay-sayers on here.
 
When I first looked at the list I read it as them being the 5th most desperate until I saw Aaron Rodgers' name.
 
I thought the exact same thing, and the writer was high on something, until I took a second look at the list
 
With or without Peyton, Denver is too low on that list. Seems like a fair representation otherwise but I didn't click on the link to see the rest.
 
The Giants may want to think about getting desperate for a QB soon.
 
Funny the #1 and #2 teams just hired defensive minded coaches and aren't in a position to draft the top two QBs
 
Our future looks pretty bright. Tannehill is getting better every year....I think there have only been five other QB's who have ever passed for over 4000 yards and run for over 300, in the same season. Tannehill reduced the amount of sacks he took last year, part of that is due to better lineman, but also because Tanny is reading things better and making quicker decisions. I think Tanny will only get better once we add more receiving weapons and a top O-lineman or two.

All we need is a backup quarterback, that is it. Can probably find one of those in the veteran FA market for cheap or more likely a mid-late round draft pick.
 
When is the last time you can remember not holding you breath when our QB needed to throw the ball?

Been a long time for me...Tannehill makes my sundays better.
 
Matt Moore has such a good deep ball, he could throw it around the earth and hit himself between the numbers
