Ahead of him are Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, and Peyton Manning.

He beats out Phillip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Michael Vick, Matthew Stafford, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Jay Cutler, and, shockingly, Matt Moore!

7) Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers: It's a small sample size, but I also knew I liked Ben & Jerry's "Phish Food" from my first tasting spoon. Some things you just know.

Cammy Cam is in some pretty good company now. He's not at the point of being completely hyped, either - his high ranking is based on actual admiration of his skills by legitimate sources around the league. Hopefully he'll crack the top five after this year.

That is definitely fair. Ten, count it, ten Superbowl rings are shared between those top six quarterbacks. Cam will have to lead our team to a Lombardi to be crowned elite. For now, he's as damn good as it gets - a rookie at that.

He needs a ring before he moves up any further

what? why? if he progresses to the point where he's performing above anyone currently above him on the list it makes sense to shift him ahead in the rankings. adrian peterson is arguably the best back in the league; would you arbitrarily hold him at number seven until he wins a superbowl?

I personally don't hold any grudges against a Superbowl ring or not. The media heads do; however, and unless he can get us one they won't crown him in their class.

those quarterbacks are on that list because of their eliteness, not because they won superbowls. they have rings BECAUSE they are elite.

there's a difference.

So if Cam is elite at their level he will get a ring too :)

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
