Securing the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL draft set off a transposition of star quarterbacks that included one of the all-time greats, Peyton Manning, one of the most popular, Tim Tebow, and one of the most promising, Andrew Luck. But according to the Pro32, a new poll by The Associated Press, teams led by other stalwart signal callers like last year’s MVP Aaron Rogers, Tom Brady and Peyton’s sibling Eli, have the best squads going into the season.
