Said Dalton should be elite or be gone... Never once mentioned he had the worse line in the NFL or no running game to help out.
TOO HIGH:
-Andrew Luck has a career sub-60% completion, the exact same YPA as Dalton (7.2), and 87.3 QB Rating, a losing record outside of his weak division, missed the ENTIRE 2017 season with a shoulder injury, and has missed 26 of his last 48 games. He is just a lot of hype and promise.
-Ben Roethlisberger has no business being Tier 1. I would buy Tier 2. In 14 years, he has thrown for 30 TDs twice, never more than 32. He has 1 career 4,500 yard season, and only 5/14 seasons has he reached 4,000 yards. Putting him and his career 94 QB Rating (only 2 seasons with 100+ QB Rating, 0 with 105+ QB Rating) in the same category with Brady (6 & 4), Rogers (7 & 3), and Brees (7 & 2) is a joke. Roethlisberger also has only played 16 games in a season 3 times in 14 years.
-Small quibble, but I would remove the T-1 from Rodgers and Brady and go Brady 1, Rodgers 2. Rodgers is no Brady in the postseason.. (9-7 record for Rodgers, 27-10 record for Brady).
-QB Record isn't everything, but Matthew Stafford is a losing QB who is just king of the garbage time. Matthew Stafford could be my #7 QB if games were changed to only ever consist of the 4th quarter. Lol
-Cam Newton is the single most overrated QB in the NFL today, saving Luck from that title. One of these QB gets rated 10th, the other 22nd (Dalton probably belongs 12-13).
Newton: 58.5% Completion, 25,074yds, 7.3 YPA, 158 TD/94 INT, 85.3 QB Rating
Dalton: 62.3% Competion, 25,534yds, 7.2 YPA, 167 TD/93 INT, 88.7 QB Rating
-Garoppolo is probably rated a handful of spots too high considering he has had all of 7 starts. Watson put up way better stats (in 1 less start) and somehow is a spot lower. Maybe because of better talent to throw to?
-Eli Manning is poop.
TOO LOW:
-Kirk Cousins probably belongs a few spots higher. Most certainly above Garoppolo/Newton/Carr, and probably above Stafford/Luck.
-Alex Smith gets no love. No problem with him being tied with Cousins, but they both need to be above the previously listed.
-Dalton needs to be about 8-9 spots higher.
-Bradford needs to be 8-10 spots higher. How could he possibly be behind Bortles? Nowhere else in the rankings have they punished being fragile except for Bradford.
-Putting McCarron behind Trubisky is just cruel.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Of course shifting down some guys far enough would push a different guy up a spot or two, but more or less the rest of the order I don't see a big problem with.
