The Top 50 Quarterbacks in the NFL Today


Recommended Posts

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/407289-top-50-countdown-quarterbacks

#21 - Matt Moore

Matt Moore was on fire for the Panthers last season after stepping in as the starter, due to Jake Delhomme's injury.

He led the Panthers to a 4-1 record over the last five games and posted the highest QB rating in the league over his last 4 games, ending the season at 98.5.

He is still young and knows how to get the ball to Steve Smith, who averaged 95 YPG with Moore as the starter.

RATING: 73

#32 - Jimmy Clausen

Jimmy Clausen slid further than any other big-name player in April's draft, but when the Carolina Panthers selected him in the middle of the second round, he fell into one of the best possible situations.

He only has a young, unproven starter ahead of him in Matt Moore, and he has great surrounding talent. Right now, Clausen is mentally ahead of Sam Bradford, but does not yet have Bradford's accuracy.

RATING: 68

IMO top 50 lists make no sense particularly when some of the folks mentioned aren't even in the league. Secondly lists make more sense when it is based on some kind of criteria such as TD/Int ratio, winning percentage, playoff record, completion percentage or passer rating. Most of these lists for example use total yards or quantity stats rather than quality stats.

I also like lists that rank them for the past and them talk about why they will be better or worse this year based on a number of factors.

For example, Kevin Kolb who has played almost no games in his career is ranked ahead of Pennington who has accomplished a ton more than Kolb has. However if you were comparing on them on who will start and put up bigger numbers this year then Kolb who is starting for Philly will likely put up bigger numbers than Pennington who will likely be a backup. But if that is the case then Bradford would be much higher because he will put up lots of numbers this year although it is unclear whether they will be good ones or bad.

Again my point is that these rankings have no rationale or statistical relevance since they aren't compared on any particular areas or even predicting who will put up more yards, make the playoffs, or something else. Thus it goes from a football article to a fluff piece in my opinion.

Since you asked for a critique, there you go.

    • to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day
    • I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..
    • Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
