NFL QB ratings

[oregonpackfan]

Comcast has an interesting slideshow and ratings of all the QBs for each team in the NFL.

When you scroll to the Riaders, Jamarcus Russell looks overweight and out of shape.

Not to mention Jeff Garcia (is that him?!) looks exactly like Hugh Hefner. Age and all, jeesh ...

Wow, that has to be one of the dumbest ratings I have ever seen. Do these people watch football or are they just picking because of thier favorite colors?

Tony Romo is #4
Jake Delhomme at #6
Matt Shcuab is #13
Trent Edwards is #15
Aaron Rodgers is #18
Jay Cutler is #19

To be fair, it looks like they are considering the backup situation as part of the rankings. So they are not necessarily saying that Rodgers is the 18th best QB and Culter is 19th.

Still,that's lame to factor in backups. Do that do that when ranking defenses? Offensive lines? Backup running backs and wide receivers?

It's a slow time of year which leads to the amazingly insightful rankings such as this one.

IDK, I am not sure I can fault them for being more thorough. Clearly the starters are more important, but the quality of backups often make or break a team.

Still, QB and OL are about the only positions that the backup almost never sees the field (barring an injury or terrible play). The other positions usually rotate players in and out for different packages or simply to keep players fresh. So, I can see how ranking depth at QB might be considered somewhat lame; however, it is not completely useless.

Even grading backups.

Tony Romo and John Kitna actually arent a bad combo, but #4?
Kyle Orton and Criss Simms together should be way higher than dead last.
Trent Edwards and Ryan Fitzpatrick #12?

Holy crap.

Didn't a certain forum punching bag have AR rated 18th in the league?

What's your point? This isn't a ranking of QBs. It's a ranking of "QB packages." I'm sure Matt Flynn holds the Packers rank down quite a bit. In this ranking, if you paired Jon Kitna with Aaron Rodgers, the Packers would be ranked quite a bit higher. Don't get him started again.

Very true, the article gives a glowing report on Rodgers, pointing out the terrible defense and claiming that he put up probowl numbers. It then states that there is a huge hole at backup and that Doug Pederson would be a better option.

[Fritz]

Which is BS and I hope hyperbole. When Pederson came in - the few times he did - the offense went nowwhere, fast - as in three and out.

Even factoring backups, these rankings made little sense to me. Yeah, how about that deadly combo of Trent Edwards and what's-his-name?

I'll take Rodgers and Flynn over that.

These rankings were just plain weird, even when you try to factor in the backups.

If your theory is correct, then how do you explain the #16 ranking with Flacco, Troy Smith and John Beck? They don't exactly inspire confidence as capable backups either.

It is not a theory so much as a clear statement made by the author of the article. It seems pretty clear that the author is of the opinion that the problem is not Rodgers, but the lack of a backup. He also clearly states that he believes Kitna is a capable backup. Thus, if you were to replace the Flynn with Kitna and the author believes that the Packer's would be improved...

Ravens fan? He likes Flacco too much? He also has Eli Manning and David Carr (at #17) ranked below Flacco and Smith.
