I put him at 21-26. Fwiw, I had him in that 14-18 to range last year.
A little reasoning: After this season, after he seeing the melt down that was the Browns game, and with the emergence of a few QB's like Carr and Bridgewater, along with the potential of names like Mariotta and Winston, I had to drop him. Least year I have Andy ahead of a guy like Palmer, now I definitely have Palmer ahead of Andy. I had Andy equal to Flacoo and Eli last year but now I'm not so sure.
The more and more I watch the more and more I'm convinced he never takes that next step. I don't his progression has been that great, given the experienced gained and talent added. Although that's not necessarily his fault, as he was never billed as having a lot of potential in the future, but was more NFL ready and was closed to a finished product.
Andy has had more than adequate talent. He's had better than average lines, he's had some decent weapons in the receiving game, and he's been paired with some pretty darn good defenses in his career. He's been given a good deal to work with. And he's been ok. Sometimes great, sometimes terrible. But I really have to wonder what he'd look like on the Jags or the Titans. Because I'm not so sure he's any better than Locker or Gabbert in those situations. So from a sheer talent standpoint I think he's below average.
I'll stop my rambling here...
