You have Stafford at #7. While I think he may have #7 talent, I don't think he has #7 accomplishment, and I think he has had adequate opportunity to reach that level but has fallen short.

I would not put Foles at #9....yet. Maybe by the end of this season, sure. He is the guy I wanted the Browns to take in lieu of Brandon Weeden in the same draft.

Who do you drop down if you raise them up?

Here is spin on the rankings. Probably take some crap about Russel Wilson but I see him a a game manager which is adequate with their defense.

Top 5:

1. Tom Brady, Pats

2. Peyton Manning, Broncos

3. Aaron Rodgers, Packers

4. Drew Brees, Saints

5. Andrew Luck, Colts

6-10:

6. Colin Kaepernick, 49ers

7. Matt Stafford - Lions

8. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers

9. Nick Foles - Eagles

10. Cam Newton

11-15:

11. Russel Wilson

12. Jay Cutler

13. Phillip Rivers

14. Matt Ryan

15. Robert Griffin III (if healthy)

16-20:

16.Joe Flacco - Ravens

17. Andy Dalton, Bengals

18. Tony Romo, Cowboys

19. Carson Palmer, Cardinals

20.Eli Manning

21-25:

21. Alex Smith, Chiefs

22. Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins

23. Jake Locker, Titans

24. Sam Bradford, Rams

25. Matt Schaub, Raiders

26-28:

26. EJ Manuel, Buffalo Bills

27. Mike Glennon, Tampa Bay

28. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Texans

The following are given the lowest rank merely because the QB situations are in flux....i.e. we don't really know who will be starting when the first game comes.

29-32

29. Jacksonville, will it be Chad Henne, or Blake Bortles (it will eventually be #3 overall Bortles..but when?)

30. NY Jets: will it be Geno Smith or Michael Vick?

31. Cleveland Browns: Will it be Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel?

32. Minnesota Vikings: Will it be Matt Cassell, or Bridgewater, or someone else?

Not bad. I do question your placement of Stafford, Cutler and Foles though. All I think will outperform those ranks

Who do you drop down if you raise them up?

Nice list, not too bad. Maybe move Newton down, Romo up and id put Jax at 32.

Jacksonville's situation will be resolved probably before any of the other "up for grabs" spots. They didn't draft Bortles #3 to sit.

At most I would only move Newton down 1-2 slots, and the same for moving Romo up.

Here may be the area that is more debatable: Here are the backup QBs for each team, per Ourlads NFL Depth Charts. Which teams have the best/worst situations here:

(alphabetical)

Arizona: Drew Stanton

Atlanta: TJ Yates

Baltimore: Tyrod Taylor

Buffalo: Thad Lewis

Carolina: Derek Anderson

Chicago: Jimmy Clausen

Cincy: Jason Campbell

Cleveland: List Hoyer as starter, Manziel backup

Dallas: Brandon Weeden

Denver: Brock Osweiler

Detroit: Kellen Moore

Green Bay: Matt Flynn

Houston: Case Keesum

Indy: Matt Hasselbeck

JAX: List Henne as starter, Bortles as backup

Kansas City: Chase Daniel

Miami: Matt Moore

Minnesota: List Cassell as starter, Ponder as backup, Bridgewater #3

New England: Ryan Mallett

New Orleans: Luke McCown

NY Giants: Curtis Painter

NY Jets: List Smith as Starter, Vick as backup

Oakland: Derek Carr

Philly: Mark Sanchez

Pittsburgh: Bruce Gradkowski

San Diego: Kellen Clemens

Seattle: Tavaris Jackson

San Francisco: Blaine Gabbert

St. Louis: Shaun Hill

Tampa Bay: List Josh McCown as starter, Glennon as backup

Tennessee: Charlie Whitehurst

Washington: Kirk Cousins.

Oddly, some of the ones I listed as having the worst QB situation may be in good shape as far as backup is concerned. McCown/Glennon in TB, Henne/Bortles in Jax, Smith/Vick in NYJ, even the Browns.
