NFL Betting Quaterbacks To Avoid

Nowadays, NFL had been a Quarterback centered game. Gone are the days where running backs are the most important key for a team to succeed – it’s now up to the Quarterbacks. The majority of starting NFL quarterbacks has adequate to immense talent and are in wonderful positions to succeed in 2012, with solid running games, a batch of quality pass-catching options and sturdy offensive lines in front of them. But some, well, they need help in a major way. In this article, I’m going to talk about some quarterbacks that would definitely affect your NFL betting. These three guys are the Quarterbacks to avoid this NFL season. And although these three guys have the chance to bounce back from vastly disappointing 2011 campaigns, still they're certainly not worth betting on this season.

Blaine Gabbert - Gabbert's rookie-season struggles are well-documented. Though the Jaguars may have placed him into the starting lineup much too early, he rarely showed any glimpses of potential as a viable NFL starter in his first year. Moreover, Gabbert was sacked 44 times in 2011, and the team did not address the offensive line in the draft. Gabbert has a good arm, but if there's one NFL starting signal-caller you cannot bet on, it's this guy. In fact, I wouldn't bet on any Jaguars starting QB.

Kevin Kolb - Kolb's in a quarterback competition of his own in Arizona with former seventh-round pick John Skelton, a guy that outperformed the $65 million man in 2011. The pressure's on Kolb this year due to the mega deal he inked last offseason. He's appeared in only 16 games over the last two seasons, as he's earned the label as an oft-injured quarterback. After nine touchdowns, eight interceptions and an 81.1 QB rating while playing in nine games, it's difficult to bet on Kolb in 2012.

Christian Ponder - Ponder was better than fellow rookie Blaine Gabbert last year, but not by much. He's surprisingly dodged the vast criticism Gabbert received despite being a first-round pick himself. In 11 games, Ponder completed a shade below 55 percent of his passes, averaged only 6.37 yards per attempt and tossed 13 touchdowns to 13 interceptions with five fumbles en route to a paltry 70.1 QB rating. With question marks at wide receiver and along the offensive line, with a running back returning from a devastating injury, you'd be smart not to bet on Ponder this season.

Quarterbacks greatly affect NFL betting that is why it is very important to choose a team which has great quarterbacks. But bear in mind that this is only one aspect/role of a team So research on the other statistics for other team roles so that you will know which teams to bet on.
