He was close to the top 10 in passer rating (efficiency) If you took out people like McCown who didn't play a lot. In 2014 he didn't have good stats at all, but he literally had one of the worst weapons in the league due to injuries. This year he's easily playing like he's in the top 10.
And let's not forget that Flacco didn't play well in the playoffs until his 5th year as a QB.
In QB rankings you don't compare their first X years though. You compare them as they're in the league together, that's the entire point of rankings. It doesn't matter when Flacco or Eli went on their runs, the fact that they did puts them ahead of guys like Andy and Stafford. It's not like Joe and Eli have been completely miserable in the regular season either, both have had some fine seasons and some good ones as well.
Andy had high volume totals 1 time in his career, and that does not make a top 10 QB. With that logic, you should think Matthew Stafford is God's gift to the universe.
Andy has been playing great thus far in 2015, so at the end of the year we can have this discussion again and see if this season helps him out in the rankings.
