NFL.com ranks all 32 backup QBs

[bigjohn]

Yet another reason I very rarely watch ESPN or visit their website.

[Growl]

Lol this is the worst piece I have ever read

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Up next: ranking all 32 practice squads

[SIGCHI222]

What in the blue hell?

We get no national respect in anything.

[Toundra]

For some teams DA would be a blessing as a starter.

[MadHatter]

Vick, Cousins, and even Hoyer are legit in the Top 10.  (assuming Hoyer does not start).

 

The others on the list are absolute garbage.

[Rules&Regulations]

The only thing I can think of is if they're grading it based on potential/trade value, but even then the list doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Edit to add: lol @ Mallett. The Patriots are doing all they can to muster up some interest for him, but he's stunk it up so badly that nobody wants him. Just lol.

[PantherFeez]

I'm shocked that he wasn't at least in the teens. It's an opinion piece though so that's all I take it as.

BUT it was an NFL.com article.

 

 

ESPN is just as piss poor.

This strikes me as a total 'hey we have to write something' article.

OMG!!!! They ranked our backup QB lower than he should be!!! We need to burn that place down!!!!  :sleep:

[Mr. Scot]

Can anybody explain to me what in the flaming hell Ryan Griffin has done to be ranked in the top half of backups across the league?

That alone tells me not to take this article seriousl (not that I would have anyway given the subject).

I totally agree.  I think at times we fans put more effort into analyzing these "list" then the person who created the list.
