Pat Yasinskas Top 10 QB's, right now.

Does Matt Ryan belong in top 10?

The season hasn’t even started yet, but the question about Matt Ryan’s status among NFL quarterbacks already is heating up.

In a television appearance, Atlanta general manager Thomas Dimitroff was asked if Ryan is a top-10 quarterback. Dimitroff said there’s no question Ryan belongs in the top 10.

I just did the math and I agree with Dimitroff.

Off the top of my head, here’s my list of the top 10 quarterbacks in the league.

Drew Brees, New Orleans (hey, I cover the NFC South)

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay (he’s right there with Brees)

Tom Brady, New England

Eli Manning, N.Y. Giants (yep, I’m putting him ahead of his brother -- for now)

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers (you can’t argue with Super Bowl rings)

Matthew Stafford, Lions

Peyton Manning, Broncos (we don’t know what he has or doesn’t have left)

Cam Newton, Panthers

Ryan

Philip Rivers

Yeah, I know I’m skipping guys like Matt Schaub, Tony Romo, Michael Vick and Joe Flacco. There’s a reason for that. I’d take Ryan over any of them any day. And, if Ryan can win a couple playoff games this year, I think he could crack the top five.

Tom Brady should be number 1. He's been to how many super bowls? And he has stats to go along with those appearances...throws a ton of TDs every season and makes average guys look great.

QFT, guy was supposed to be a sixth round scrub but with hard work and dedication it showed what you can achieve, plus he never had super loaded talent around him either and put up ungodly win numbers and stats and went to 5 super bowls and won three, how many 1 Overall picks can say that?? Not even Peyton... (but hopefully OUR number 1 can better that when all is said and done :-D )

Lol!! I love our Cam, but It's funny to me how he hesitated and had to do his math on Ryan, a QB who have been to 3 playoffs in 4 years, even though he flopped in each of those playoffs to see if hes a top 10 QB. But, he didn't hesitate to list Cam as the top 8 QB. I think it's a little early to list Cam as a top 10. Top15, sure.

6 through about 15 is a complete logjam of talent in which variations are pretty minute... i find it pretty hard to be offended by any specific ranking within that category of talent, so long as it's at least in the right category to begin with.

matt ryan, at his best, is definitely a top ten quarterback.

Number of Super Bowls don't mean anything when rating QBs for the coming/current season. Tom may well have been the hands down choice for number one a couple years ago but he has lost a step.

He is still very deserving of top 3 status but he isn't number one any more.

Top 10 when? If you are talking regular season then Ryan definitely qualifies. If you are talking in the playoffs then he is definitely not. Does he make the team around better? Only until the stakes are elevated. I think depending on what you value, you could make a case either way.

For that matter if results in wins and losses are the standard, then Newton wouldn't be in the top 10 either. But if you measures whether he makes the team around him better then you argue he is.

    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
