ESPN 2015 NFL QB Tiers

[NextGenBoys]

I think the list is pretty accurate with the exception of Ben being in the top tier. He belongs in the second tier with Romo and Rivers.

Agreed. He's really good at shedding guys off to buy time, but other than that there is nothing exceptional about him.

 

[Sarge]

Snooze alert.

 

[CF74]

There's physical ability and then there is production despite not being the most gifted player on the field.

EX: Ferrari vs Honda

They both will get you where you need to go but one is clearly a superior machine...

You CAN win with a Honda as long as you have all the components (Supporting cast) around you..

I believe this is our year, fill up the Honda..

 

[JPostSam]

this is the new narrative. first, he was a choker and a gunslinger. now, he's good -- but only because they put him in a straightjacket.

smh

 

[Hardline]

As per my usual response.

I don't care

Great analogy

Brees is living off yesterday's hype. Peyton Manning was a shell of his former self last year. Neither were better than Romo last year, IMO.

Great observation.

 

[ufcrules1]

Also he and his team have been showing progression -- this year they reached the AFC Championship.

I know people are fixated on the the QB rating, however, at the end of the day he has been in the playoffs all 3 years of his career and his trajectory looks to be just fine.

Also, not to mention he hasn't had a decent RB and his best receiver is TY Hilton. He has a bad oline and defense as well and they still made the AFC championship game last year. That dude is legit and everyone can see the writing on the wall with him. He will have his super bowl ring before long. They are the favorites to win the whole AFC this year. Luck is a big part of that.. HUGE part of it.

 

[TwoDeep3]

Win something significant and this changes.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

He took a previous 2-14 team to the playoffs as a rookie and has taken them to the playoffs every year since then. Keep watching, Luck is legit as they come and gets better and better every year.

Well he has played worse than Romo every single year he's been in the league.

There is that...

 

[ufcrules1]

We'll see with Peyton Manning.

Age is probably catching up to him, however, he did throw 39 TDs last season and would have easily had been in the mid-40s again except he played through an injury in December which resulted in him throwing only 3 TDs in the December.

My point is if 39 TDs is a shell of your former self, your former self is pretty frigging spectacular.

Manning got hurt in the second half of the season last year. Before that he was on absolute fire. He had 29 touchdowns through the first 9 games.
People have short memories man. Everyone is writing him off because they aren't smart enough to realize he got injured in December last year. I wouldn't doubt he tears it up this year. Never count that dude out.

What? Your hair color?

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Can somebody please tell me how Luck keeps getting on these Top-5 lists?

WE HAVE A WINNER

Andrew Luck: most overrated QB in football.

I don't care what his name is and I don't care what his potential is. Show me the top-5 PRODUCTION or else he doesn't belong.

I love the quote from the guy who says Romo's 50-50 to make the "big mistake" being immediately followed by actual stats (you know, FACTS) which put that garbage to bed.

I agree. Luck will be the best QB in the league when Rodgers is done. Luck has elite potential and he's shown glimpses of it already. But he isn't elite yet. He doesn't stack up to the Peytons, Bradys, Rodgers, Brees of the world. And where Luck has elite potential. Rodgers has GOAT potential. Luck will never be that good.

 

[TwoDeep3]

What? Your hair color?

Hopefully your lack of self esteem due to the fact not many people hold Romo up as a top QB.

Oh..so now you don't like me?

Romo will do what he does. Now my self esteem is hurt.

I'm focused on the team. So are you. But, don't give up. It's looking good, bro.

and what happened when they went up against a top team - NE? They got owned and destroyed. They had a very weak regular season schedule; then they went up against the choke artists (Bungles) and a crippled Peyton Manning.
Yeah as usual you are full of garbage as regards QB

Meanwhile Tony Romo's team was one play from going to the NFC championship to play a team they had already beaten once at home.

 

[Knotamus]

Yep, Romo sucks.. sure wish he wasn't a Cowboy. smh

Did I mention he's 2nd all time in passer rating?

 

[KJJ]

I dont understand the love for Rothlisburger!

He's been one of the better QB's in the league over the past decade having led Pittsburgh to 3 SB's winning 2 of them. How he managed to win a SB in 2008 with an awful OL that helped get him sacked 48 times and having no running game that season was a testament to how good he is despite having the #1 defense that year. He had a terrific statistical season in 2014 and many who've been following the Steelers for decades think he's better than Terry Bradshaw. I believe Rothlisberger will end up in the HOF.
