I think age is important if I am trading AD for another QB on your list.
I think contract is important as well.
So, I would remove the following and keep AD because of the reasons above + AD is very young by NFL starting QB standards.
Peyton
Brees
Rivers
Romo
Flacco (contract is huge liability for the future)
Palmer
A. Smith
I also feel AD was not as bad as some believe in 2014 once all the WR/TE injuries are factored in along with the loss of his RT (Smith)
I think the AD ceiling is higher in the next 3 to 4 years than all of those guys listed. If we were saying we could afford to keep AD and one of the guys you listed, then I would agree 100% with your list other than A. Smith.
Well I do factor in more than just current performance. I would've ranked him 13-16 prior to last season, but that season just drops him a little bit for me. I fully expect him to rebound and if he does, I'll move him up again.
I don't see why you would factor in age in rankings. This isn't about who will be better to have over the next 10 years. It's about right now.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
