SI's QB Rankings


Recommended Posts

32. Matt Cassel, Bills
Put EJ Manuel or Tyrod Taylor here if you want. Whatever—you get the idea.

31. Robert Griffin III, Washington
His mobility is not what it once was. That’s an issue, as he has mountains to climb to improve his mechanics and field-reading.

30. Marcus Mariota, Titans
Has there ever been so much mystery around a quarterback drafted in the top five? Nobody knows whether his style will flourish or flounder at the pro level.


29. Josh McCown, Browns
Better athlete than appears and he has the ability to play big in the pocket. Problem is, he’s only shown it as a backup fill-in, not a starter leading the offense.

28. Brian Hoyer, Texans
Plays well on the move. But appears to be one of those guys defenses figure out the more they see of him on tape.

27. Geno Smith, Jets
Bad decision-making has been his undoing. That can be corrected. And if it is, he has the pocket toughness to be a top-16 starting quarterback.

26. Jameis Winston, Buccaneers
He’s TBD, of course. But the necessary skills appear to be there.

25. Blake Bortles, Jaguars
Much better athlete than we realize. Very possible he jumps 10 or more spots on this list in 2016.

24. Nick Foles, Rams
Has no special traits and can be too methodical at times. But that doesn’t mean he can’t oversee a ball control offense like St. Louis.

23. Teddy Bridgewater, Vikings
Was tightly managed last season before showing extremely encouraging signs down the stretch. The Vikings think they have their guy. Loosen the leash and let’s find out.

22. Sam Bradford, Eagles
He’s almost impossible to critique given his injury woes. But if healthy (huge if) he’s a snappy, accurate passer fit for a spread scheme.

21. Colin Kaepernick, 49ers
Raw tools are startling, but so are a lot of his decisions. There are also mechanical flaws.

20. Andy Dalton, Bengals
Outstanding before the snap but can be a total crapshoot after it.

19. Derek Carr, Raiders
Have to see how he does with the training wheels off, but skill-wise, it appears the Raiders have finally (finally!) found their franchise QB.

18. Alex Smith, Chiefs
Underrated mobility adds a dimension to a QB who operates under defined reads and who attempts safe throws almost exclusively.

17. Jay Cutler, Bears
Mistakes and leadership are problems, but there’s nothing a coach can’t ask him to do on the field

16. Cam Newton, Panthers
A rare physical specimen who can make the “Wow!” throw. Unfortunately, it’s not always a good “Wow!”

I stopped here because we can't post full articles.  But I did post the rest of the Top 10.

9. Matt Ryan, Falcons
Newfound ability to play on the move could catapult him higher on this list, especially in Kyle Shanahan’s system.

8. Joe Flacco, Ravens
Maybe the strongest arm in the NFL (yes, arm strength matters), and he’s used it aptly in multiple schemes in recent years. It’s still incredible how little talk there is about his 2012 playoff run, which is probably the best ever.

7. Drew Brees, Saints
Physical skills are starting to wane, but being arguably the top pure progression passer in the league can obscure that.

6. Philip Rivers, Chargers
Outstanding on three-step, five-step and seven-step dropbacks. There’s little more a coach could ask for.

5. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers
Has evolved from a randomized, talent-based quarterback to a fully cerebral field general. And the talent’s still there.

4. Peyton Manning, Broncos
Don’t let back-to-back ugly postseason losses (Colts last year, Seahawks the year before) overshadow back-to-back seasons of daunting statistics. Arm strength has never been his game; field command, fundamentals and IQ have. Those are all still fully intact.

3. Andrew Luck, Colts
Has a chance to one day reach the All-Time Mt. Rushmore, right up there with Brady, Montana and whoever else you have. Right now, he’s already the best play-extending pocket passer in the game, by far.

2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers
The most physically gifted passer in the league can also beat you with his brain.

1. Tom Brady, Patriots
No player of this era has done more with less. Talk to coaches around the league and they’ll tell you that however much command you think Brady has over that offense, triple it, and that’s about the actual amount

RW outside the Top 10?  Cam outside the Top 15?  RG3 31st?  Hell, I despise the dude but damn.

I saw this a couple of days ago and didn't want to post them because at the end of the day it's someone's opinion, though it may be close to reality. I agree with the rankings for the most part. Wilson is not top 10 and tannehill did put up decent production last year without much of a supporting cast.

also said that all women's sports were not worth watching, and that Cam would be the exact same QB in every way 5 years from now. 5 years!

TBH, the only women's sport worth watching is soccer. Other than that, pretty boring. Can't hate the man for saying that. Also, Cam really hasn't improved GREATLY on anything and this is going into his 5th year, but he has improved. So he isn't really too far off on that either.

LoL @ Andrew Luck #3 right now & saying he's gonna be a top 4 QB all-time. The dude is very good, but goddamn the hype is ridiculous. Through 3 years he has a 85 passer rating, 58% completion percentage, & less than a 1.5 TD to turnover ratio. Statistically he is a very average QB.

His ability to throw the ball high and far while TY Hilton makes a sensational catch really gets the pasty white guys like Andy hot and bothered.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
