Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett better be in the top 40. Jacoby should be top 32 for sure.
I am so sick of Chris’s excuses for his boys Allen and Zach. Aside from Bills Fans NO ONE believed Allen was better than Mahomes. NO ONE!!! Zach Wilson has been awful since he started playing in the NFL… Yet Chris keeps telling us he was ‘about to take a big jump last season’ huh?? Where??? Chris its okay to admit Zach is a bust…we all said he will struggle in the NFL after ONE HIT wonder season in a COVID year vs a mickey mouse competition… we saw him struggle with the better teams in especially Costal Carolina… he hasn’t been better than Justin in a single game, despite having the better team and weapons… Justin was running for his life and yet he still made the Bears watchable…
Allen over Mahomes?? What you smoking?
Crap shoot on these lists, making an algorithm based on stats probably would create the best list. A third at least of the top third dropped significantly, at least half out of the top 15, a lot of the replacements were beyond 20. So, 5 or 6 guys in the top 15 could fall out of the top 20 and 5 or 6 beyond 20 in the top 15. Of the 14 QBs that made the playoffs at least 12 are top 15, Brady and Jones might be left out, Brady actually is out of the league make it easy with his good numbers yet below 500 effort. Guys who started 70-80% of the time and are starters this year should be top 30 over guys that got fired and might start or rookies that need time to equal a repeat starter. Who is out of the top 15 if results are a measure, Stafford, Wilson, Carr, Murray, Ryan, Tannahill, even Rogers and Watson performance do not compare to any of the QBs that made the playoffs, the time those 2 guys carried their team would be a low number of quarters.
This guy is a clown. You have to include the team. Case in pony Matt Stafford. Dude was nothing before LA.
Zach Wilson above Jalen Hurts?! How old is this? I demand to know! Lol
I just want to see how Chris ranks Geno Smith. All year we heard Chris say how much he talked up Geno and how he was one of the few people who believed in him. BUT He only had him ranked at 33. That means every other team's starter and one backup was rated higher than Geno. The way I see it, accolades are only words and the rankings (the actions) are the real way you see things. And Chris is still doing it in this video. Proud of ranking Geno 33 as if that is a high ranking.
Herbert was not a top 4 qb
Wilson and Wentz over Fields and Lawerence? Just disrespectful.
How is Justin Herbert in the top 4? He had his worst year as a pro. He threw 25 tds and had a passer rating of 93 last year. That’s mediocre. In fact Herbert has never had a passer rating of 100 or more.
How does anyone think Herbert is a top 5 qb🤨
Justin Herbert being a top 4 QB is ridiculous lol
Josh Allen plays like he thinks he is Derek Henry. Now he's getting hit harder and faster. He has a stupid mentality for being a QB. He's going to end up like Cam Newton.
Fingers crossed that Jalen Hurts cracks the top 20 this year.
Hurts took a very flawed Eagles team as a first year starter to the playoffs in 2021 and Simms still rated him as the 25th best QB heading into the 2022 season. He viewed QBs from 11 different teams who missed the playoffs as better than Hurts.
1 Burrow 2 Mahomes 3 Allen 4 hurts
If this was based on past accomplishments and consistency as he says and not just pure projection, then how the hell did Josh Allen get number 1 over Patrick Mahomes.
Hurts at #24 lmao
Patrick is number one. Come on.
Cousins should be higher than 16 that's a joke. the simple fact is the Vinings wouldn't trade Cousins for Tannehill, Ryan, Brady, Watson, Carr, & Wilson last year. I would even say they would have a tough time trading him for Murray, Prescott, or Stafford at this point. Even Lamar Jackson isn't a definitive got to trade Cousons for. Based on these rankings it's hard for me to not rank Cousins in top 10
