Interesting, sort of.
He puts Aaron Rodgers at 1 by himself.

3. Andrew Luck
4. Tom Brady
5. Matt Ryan
6. Philip Rivers

13. Matthew Stafford
14. Ryan Tannehill
15. Eli Manning
16. Sam Bradford
17. Carson Palmer
18. Teddy Bridgewater
19. Colin Kaepernick

20. Alex Smith
21. Jay Cutler
22. Andy Dalton

People always seem to have interesting things to say about Rosenthal's objectivity. I'm not sure if he's being biased, but I disagree with a handful of his rankings. Some of these seem strange. I won't get to really look much more into this until later though, but figured I'd post it before I had to go for a while.
His 1 simple statement about Andy Dalton is "Dalton is a poor man's Smith", and I'm not so sure how accurate that is.
