I've thought that he's good enough to not lose a game and could maybe have 2 or 3 plays that really contribute to a win. Everyone talks about his record breaking 2013 where he had 33 TD passes, but ignores his 20 picks. Thus far in 2015 he's playing elite, and it wouldn't be crazy to say he's putting up league MVP numbers. As far as the rankings go, Rosenthal has seemingly always taken shots at Andy when he would make his lists. I hope Andy keeps playing the way he does, I want nothing but the best for the guy, but I'm not going to pretend he's been great his whole career, he's been average-good, and this year he's playing great.
Why is having 20 picks in a season the sign of being a bad QB? Eli Manning had 28 in a season. Flacco had 22 picks to go along with 19 TDs in 2013. Palmer also had 22 picks in 2013 to go along with 24 TDs.
