2013 QB Rankings

Since ppl seemed to appreciate my RB rankings. PPR league with keepers (although I don't rank players according to their ability in future years as I want to win *this* year).

Brees, Drew NO - last time he had Sean Payton as his HC, single season records were broken. Yes please.

Rodgers, Aaron GB - ppl may forget about his early season doldrums that likely cost a lot of head-to-head wins. I don't. Can't rank him first.

Brady, Tom NE - numbers slipped overall this past year but with emergence of running game he's got too many weapons so he holds off new come-latelys like RGIII and Newton for at least 1 more year.

Newton, Cam CAR - in his first 2 years he's only been dominant for half a season. My money says this year he does it all year.

Ryan, Matt ATL - another guy with too many weapons, not a scrambler so he avoids unnecessary big hits

Griffin III, Robert WAS - as electrifying as Mike Vick in his prime, unfortunately might also have Vick's injury proneness. If he becomes more of a pure passer to protect himself than not sure if he can put up gaudy stats.

Stafford, Matthew DET - had a significant amount of passes stop at the 1 yard line which were then vultured by RBs. Look for TDs to increase making him a clear top 10 QB.

Luck, Andrew IND - in an offense that looks to pass pass pass and he vultures goal line TDs just to piss off people who own IND RBs

Wilson, Russell SEA - I need to see how he performs in his 2nd yr before I rank him top 10 for the next few years

Manning, Peyton DEN - probably last year at elite or near elite status. If DEN can get 2 more years out of Peyton they should count their lucky stars.

Kaepernick, Colin SF - I'm always low on 2nd yr QBs. 1 yr worth of data is too little to rank these young guys too high.

Romo, Tony DAL - has elite talent at WR and TE, I'm prepared to rank him higher closer we get to week 1.

Dalton, Andy CIN - had great numbers when he had 3 guys to throw to (2 WRs and Gresham). Fell off as soon as Sanu went down. Top 10 QB in points for most of the season last year, probably just missed out on a top 10 finish last year when CIN pulled him very early in a meaningless week 17 game.

Cutler, Jay CHI - I'm always cautious when new HC and new OC come on a team.

Roethlisberger, Ben PIT - was playing at a mindboggling level for most of the season before mid-season injury made it all moot.

Manning, Eli NYG - he puts up stats that wins his team games and championships, just not FF numbers. Very inconsistent over the course of a whole season.

Vick, Michael PHI - assuming he sticks with PHI, prepared to drop him lower if he doesn't.

Flacco, Joe BAL - not the elite QB he thinks he is, but is probably everyone's favorite backup FF QB.

Rivers, Philip SD - new HC, new OC, fading TE and question marks at RB. As a starter - no thanks. Backup? Sure why not?

Schaub, Matt HOU - prepared to rank him 3 spots higher but no one is winning anything if he's your starter.

Freeman, Josh TB - could wind up 5 spots higher at season's end or he could succumb to the pressure of not having a contract extension.

Bradford, Sam STL - if Amendola bolts for the Pats not sure if he'll ever crack top 15.

Locker, Jake TEN - no standout elite players on this offense, whats an average QB like Locker supposed to do?

Palmer, Carson OAK - assuming he sticks with OAK, although its not likely he finishes the year as the starter so I can't rank a question mark too high.

Tannehill, Ryan MIA - could be top 20 at year's end, but again, we're in prime backup territory now. No one in this range is being used as a starter.

Weeden, Brandon CLE - HC was able to make Derek Anderson an All Star when he was CLE's OC a while back. This guy is on my radar.

Kolb, Kevin AZ - yeah he's got Larry Fitzgerald to throw to but who we kidding, we all know AZ is already looking elsewhere.

Fitzpatrick, Ryan BUF - not guaranteed to be the starter week 1 let alone week 17.

Ponder, Christian MIN - not in an offense where he's asked to do too much.

Sanchez, Mark NYJ - :)

Gabbert, Blaine JAC - see Fitzpatrick, Ryan

Cassel, Matt KC - gotta suck to be ranked as the worst QB in the league in someone's rankings

Decent list, I can't say I agree with the positioning of your top ten but to each their own right? Can you explain the Matt Ryan comments? Not a scrambler so he avoids hits?

Pocket passer. I should say by not being a scrambler he doesn't open himself up to the kind of hits RGIII and Vick take. Just stays in the pocket and throws to Jones, White, insert TE here, and Jaquizz Rodgers. I rank him higher than RGIII due to not having that added injury risk and having a lot of options to throw to.

Losing Gonzo will hurt, no replacement for that type of player.

nice list. i like it.

Looks good for a redraft...

Howdy, Stranger!
