ESPN QB Ratings

[CaptTurbo]

Seems on target to me.


28. Matt Leinart/Derek Anderson, Arizona Cardinals

Analysis: For Anderson, this is a chance to rebuild his career after tough seasons in Cleveland in 2008 and 2009. He's not very accurate, never completing more than 60 percent of his passes in a season in the NFL. For Leinart, this is the end of the line as a Cardinal after this season if he doesn't regain a starting job he had no business losing.
Chances of being elite: 0 percent

If that's just this years rankings sure, but Bradford at 30 is wrong, he's a stud and he'll climb a lot higher than that by the end of the year watch.

Chances he'll be elite, IMO 80% by years two or three.

I'm not going to say anything about where our guys are ranked, but the simple fact that they have Farve ahead of Rodgers costs them any and all credibility they may have previously held.

Of course they do when they back your opinions. Otherwise you can't stand them.

QB ratings should be made AFTER the season, and be based on what a QB DOES, not on what some talking head thinks he is capable of doing or not doing.

 

[wilycoyote24]

I know it is a long shot, but Anderson is a former pro bowler. That should at least get him a 5% chance of being elite.

How do you figure that? Favre had a phenomenal year, unlikely to be duplicated this year. 33 Td, 7 picks. Rogers = 30 & 7. Favre had a completion %age of 68.4, with Rogers at 64.7. Passing yards, Favre 4202, Rodgers 4434. It should be noted that on passing yards, Rodgers had proven receivers (from before he even started) while Favre threw it to dudes whom no one even knew the names of prior to the season. After 1 year with Favre Sidney Rice is like a pro bowler. LOL. QB rating for the season of 107.2 for Favre and 103.2 for Rodgers, which is just insane by both men. Point is, Rodgers didn't outplay Favre, their #'s if anything suggests Favre had a better year, but most fans would call it a wash if anything. Don't get me wrong, Rodgers is an awesome QB, I just don't think he had a better year than Favre. At best he tied.

Now you know i'm going to agree with this.

Absolutely. Rodgers,Manning,Shady Brady and Brees are the elite at this point IMO. I think the drop off after these guys is fairly steep.

Where's the fun in that?

All true but Favre played against 8 man fronts all year because of Adrian Peterson and Rodgers played with Ryan Grant on a team that was missing 3 starters on its OL for much of the season.

Favre had an amazing year last year but there's no way he should be ranked ahead of Rodgers for this year, if for no other reason than his recent ankle surgery.

So is David Garrard. He isn't even in the top 15 QB's.
