Quarterback Tiers

Cam Newton QB / Carolina Panthers

The most physically gifted and physically imposing quarterback in the NFL who was a super-worthy MVP last year. He has more trophies and more title game appearances in his future. He lifts a very limited offensive cast each and every week and finds new ways to keep winning football games. He's also maturing each year as well, though he's still prone to a misstep or two.

I agree with that assessment mostly.  Of the others on the list I feel like Eli is too high even with two Superbowls, Teddy Bridgewater is a category low.  But the main thing I took out of this article is that Matt Ryan is the worst QB in our division.  Suck it Falcons!

Jason La Canfora did a good job with this article. I feel strange because I'm used to train wreck articles that I have to bitch about.

Wilson and Cam will be at war for many years to come. Brees is falling due to age. His arm just doesn't have the power anymore.

The Palmer ranking makes no sense at all to me.  He debated putting him in Tier 2... or Tier 5?  I'm no Dalton fan by any stretch, but his ranking caught my eye for comparison.  He's Tier 4 because, "Lack of anything close to success in truly big games is damning with me."  He's been to the playoffs every year he's been in the league.  Yeah, he's lost them all, but he's played in the same amount of playoff games as Palmer, and is 9 years younger.  Palmer is 2 Tiers higher, and he's never done jack poo.  Hell, two of his four playoff appearances ever, were this past season, and the dude is bout to be 37.  Just puts a giant turd stain on his whole ranking system.

He can say they are "tiers" but I call bs.

If you read the other "assessments" it is clear he is not only creating tiers he is ranking them within the tiers.  I just think it is yet another stupid ranking of qb's with Cam listed as 7th best.  He clearly struggled with putting Brees and Romo in tier two.

He groups Luck with the "young stars"?  Says his time on the bench will serve him well?  

stupid offseason is stupid

I mostly agree with the tiers.  Bridgewater doesn't belong near the top two tiers, Dalton is right where he belongs, Eli definitely being too high is my biggest gripe.  Palmer is probably also a tier too high.

I also don't think it will be long before Derek Carr is viewed as a better QB than Luck...

Luck put in the "Up and Coming" Tier
