I guess this is why we'll have other people vote on this though. It is pretty hard to see things with an open mind when looking at your team.

I think it's a push if Schaub is healthy... with those weapons, he can be every bit as productive as Ben. Orton with his new team and Edwards now with TO, should be fairly equal.
2007 was Ben's best year, the other 3 seasons have been about the same as 2008... good, but not spectacular from a production stand point, which is how we have to judge them right?
In 2008 - Ben had 16 starts vs Matt's 11 starts:
Yards: Ben 3,301 / Matt 3,043
TDs: Ben 17 / Matt 15
INTs: Ben 15 / Matt 10
5 fewer games for Schaub and extremely similar stats. Again... if healthy, Schaub can be just as good or better.
I think MJD and Jacobs are very comparable as well... MJD is more of a dual threat while Jacobs is a pure run only kind of guy, but overall production (yards and TDs) is pretty equal.
Kevin Smith is the #1 guy in DET coming off a nice performance as is Thomas in NOS, but Smith has less threats right now to steal production, IMO. Add in Hillis at FB who will also see plenty of action at RB and the option of Norwood as a KR/backup RB... I think I definitely have you covered as of now.
Our teams are very even though ...
