Out of those teams mentioned in the op, Jacksonville is the only one that really concerns me as I think they're on our level of horrid. Gabbert hasn't exactly improved this year either. Losing MJD gets them one step closer as well.
No way Carolina will replace Cam.
New Orleans isn't as bad as we are, despite us lucking out and winning in our head to head matchup. Drew Brees is 33, and it wouldn't be out of the question for NO to start thinking about a successor, I just don't think they'd spend a very high first round pick on a QB that will likely sit for the most part when they have some glaring needs on defense in particular.
Weeden is improving in Cleveland and I see that team headed in the right direction with Weeden, Richardson and a decent o-line they already have in place. Even if ownership cleans house during the offseason, I don't think I can see them replacing Weeden this quickly.
Raiders are bad, but not quite as bad as we are. They're a candidate to draft a QB in the top few picks though. But I don't think they'll finish below us in the standings.
All this being said, it won't keep a more aggressive owner/GM in New York, Dallas or elsewhere from moving up, but I do like our chances of drafting in the top 3 next april.
