Rating the QBs

Russell Favre (Wilson) I'd place abv average with likely moving to "good" in 2013.

RGIII is already at the good level. He could move to elite by 2014 (because no Im not assuming he'll be healthy by week 1). Of course all of that depends on whether the Redskins end his career by the time he's 24.

EDIT: BTW Palmer is not above average IMO. Prior to blowing his knee? Yep. Since then? Been a pretty lousy QB. Thus why OAK brought in Flynn.

I'd move Ryan to "Good" and River down a notch or two.... Vick could go down too.

I'd put Alex Smith in above average or at least average.

shouldn't "average" be in the middle of your scale?

Rodgers is below avg. he needs to prove it again.

He's lost 2 of his last 3 playoff games!

Where does Flacco go? How about Ponder? Both those guys are all over the board depending on the week.

Disagree. 22 and 14 w/4000 yds in OAK last year. In OAK!

His #1 receiver was Brandon Myers (who?) - 79 for 800


Palmer is smart and is gonna love having a talent like Fitz to throw to.

Career 77 QB rating. IIRC around an 81 last season. TD to INT ratio not that great either.

I find your posting to be average, to below average

Don't really care where you put them, but Cutler and Romo need to be side by side. They are the same player.

at this point you can throw Rivers right in there with Cutler and Romo. I will be greatly surprised if Rivers finds success.

Shouldn't that be in the middle of your skale?

306 comp. 489 Att. 3,622 yards 62.6 comp.% 25 TD's 10 Int's 93.6 QB rating
329 comp. 523 Att. 3,669 yards 62.3 comp.% 27 TD's 16 Int's 87.4 QB rating

Best single season stat lines for two QB's. One belongs to Joe Flacco, the other belongs to Andy Dalton.

I'm not sure I'm signing off on Flacco as above average.

I'd say Stafford and Ryan are both 'good' quarterbacks. Carson Palmer deserves his own 'worthless turd' category along with Vick.

For me Flacco's got a number of things that I just really like about him.

He's a bit like Roethlisberger, but younger, healthier, and a better human being. He's fearless in the pocket, he's strong, he's fairly quick for a big man, he throws a really good deep ball and has a rocket arm. He's not consistent enough to be considered elite, but I think he's up there near the top of the non-elite. I just really like what I see from him when I watch him.

For me Roethlisberger has come down a notch or 2. He seems to be dinged up all the time and while he shows flashes of his old self, I think he's starting to slide a bit due to health reasons. If he can get himself healthy again, he's young enough to still be very good, but he really seems to have taken a lot of punishment the past couple years.

?? I'll admit I haven't seen Flacco play all that much but that's not a term to describe him that comes to mind at all.

So according to the peanut gallery, Palmer is either above average or a worthless turd. That averages out to average, which is an upgrade for us.
