NFL Offseason 2019: Predicting Week 1 starting quarterbacks for needy teams

Many teams enter the 2019 NFL offseason needy for a quarterback; who will be the day one starter for these respective teams?
The 2018 NFL season has officially concluded with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots winning, yet again, another Super Bowl. With that being said, we now enter into the 2019 offseason where the quarterback carousel is expected to spin frequently and rapidly throughout the free agency extravaganza and the circus that is the NFL Draft.
Big name NFL starters such as Joe Flacco, Ryan Tannehill, Andy Dalton and Tyrod Taylor are expected to hit the open market and sign with new teams, while multiple teams such as the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals look to find themselves in the market for a new gunslinger for the first time in years.
Last season, names such as Taylor, Case Keenum, Alex Smith and Teddy Bridgewater found new homes in hopes of filling a need at the quarterback position for their respective teams; these moves did not work out well for the majority of quarterbacks switching uniforms and those looking for a fresh start in 2019 are hoping for better success.
Before the offseason festivities begin, here is a look at potential matches of available quarterbacks and teams that will be looking for a new signal caller in 2019.
