http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000000797366/ranking-all-52-no-1-picks-of-the-nfls-commondraft-era

... at number 14, which is pretty damn good considering he's only going into his age 30 season and could easily play 6-8 more. Keep in mind this list has 51 overall number 1 picks.  Can't really argue too much with the players ranked ahead of him besides Stafford, who's much less accomplished than Cam but his passing numbers are great. 

Its a pretty cool article. Although its bizarre they only seem to focus on the past couple of seasons in his little synopsis and not mentioning him having a crazy rookie season, the 2015 MVP/SB run, or the fact that hes got more rushing TDs than any QB in NFL history. 

And friendly reminder of these QBs who won their first SB later in life : 

  • Payton Manning : Age 30 (and went to 4 SBs in his 30s)
  • Jim Plunkett : Age 33 (won another at age 36)
  • John Elway : Age 37 (another at 38)

Everything is a bit up in the air with his recent shoulder injuries, but here's to hoping for a revitalization and winning the first SB for the Panthers.

Don’t they come out with this list every year/ every few? Stanford is always ahead of cam. No one seems to know why

Like I say, probably because his passing numbers are really good for an age 30/31 QB. He's also had a few pretty good seasons, but those are drowned out by several bad or mediocre ones . 

Most notably he's not done anything in the playoffs, which should bump Cam up to 13 and him down to 14. 

Cam should def be in the top 10 after all is said in done if his shoulder is okay. But he wont get in the top 5 unless he wins at least 1 SB. I don't really think he'd need to win multiple ones to compete with the other QBs that have multiple, since he's such a unique talent.

Right so, again, I have no idea why MS is above camvp

Well,... in Stafford’s defense,.. he plays with the worst professional sports organization ever,.. like worst team ever,...

if he had been drafted by like the Steelers for example and won 2-3 Superbowls— he would have no question marks.

same for Cam for example.

He's had some pretty top-shelf receiving talent though.

      Lol Atlanta looks to have lost their young edge rusher, has no 1st round pick, a complete mess at QB, a new coaching staff… And we swept them this year. Says what they think of us.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.

      Then why is Byce also last in other PFF stats?  The deep ball thrower stat by PFF can simply be flawed vs some conspiracy trying to prop up a QB on a team that a former employee now works for.  Both of these guys were also hired AFTER the Panthers had already drafted Bryce.  Trying to prop him up with a made up stat while he struggled would be a detriment to their own team honestly.
