John Clayton (ESPN) ranks the QBs

[Dpantherman]

32. Matt Moore, Carolina Panthers

Analysis: He has a 6-2 record as starter, but a slow start could speed the Jimmy Clausen era in Carolina.

Chance of being elite: 5 percent

33. Jake Delhomme, Cleveland Browns

Analysis: Interceptions in the playoff loss to Arizona in 2008 led to a downward spiral for a quarterback who won a lot of games for John Fox and the Panthers. At 35, Delhomme has no chance of being a starter anywhere else if he doesn't cut it in Cleveland.

Chance of being elite: 0 percent

I missed the joke, whats so funny about it? Most of it seems about right with a few exceptions; IMO

Edit: Oh I see the joke now...Tony Romo is in the Elite group...gotcha

Right here.

24. Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagles

Analysis: Kolb is the perfect quarterback for Andy Reid's West Coast offense, which is why the Eagles traded Donovan McNabb to the Redskins. Kolb is a rhythm passer out of three- and five-step drops, and he should have a big statistical year.

Chance of being elite: 50 percent

[HPPantherzfan]

Are you saying Kolb should be higher or lower? I like Kolb, and I think he will be just fine! For Philly, he may be better than Donovan; /gasp!!!

[Zod]

The media always wants Romo to be elite year after year. Too bad he is nothing more than an over glorified choker.

Matt Moore should be around 20 imo.

Kolb being ranked that high. What has he done in the NFL? Nothing but yet he is ranked 24th.

Your right, nothing yet...yet being the key word. Kolb has a ton of potential and I think Philly will be a tough team with him at the helm.

Pardon me, but what does John Clayton know about Quarterbacks that qualifies him as an evaluator? He's not a football guy, he's a glorified beat writer.

Nothing to see here besides ESPN giving Romo another hand-job.

[JungleCat]

I'm surprised he gives Moore a 5% chance of being elite.

If Moore was the starter in Philly and Kolb was the starter here. Moore would be in the top 15 while Kolb would be 33rd. Potential is all fine and good but thats all he has. He hasnt proven anything.

lol Clayton is still on his "Matt Ryan is elite" kick I see

[MadHatter]

Kolb has no more potential than Moore....plain and simple.

[HPPantherzfan]

Ok, so maybe thats how you see it, but thats not how I see it. Matter of opinion I guess

[Proudiddy]

Let me try...

John Skelton: Mobile and big arm, won't play this year but I traded for him in Madden.

Chance of being elite: 75%

It really is a joke, pretty much it works like this, if you're team makes headlines or gives ESPN something to talk about - Kolb, Romo, McNabb, etc. - Then you're chances of being elite exponentially increase.
