Of the 160 top 10 QBs since 1990, 85 have come from outside the prior year's top 10. Here's the breakdown:
Rank Count11-20 4221-30 1531+ 26College 2Nothing shocking here, IMO. A couple of this year's top 10 will be QBs that we noticed last year and were solid fantasy backups (ranked 11-20).One will probably be from the bottom third (21-30) of the league last year. Here are the QBs that made that jump since 1990:
Marc Bulger 2003
Tom Brady 2002
Aaron Brooks 2001
Kerry Collins 2000
Jake Plummer 1998
Jeff Hostettler 1996
Scott Mitchell 1995
Jim Everett 1994
Boomer Esiason 1993
Jeff Hostettler 1993
Bobby Hebert 1992
Dave Krieg 1992
Mark Rypien 1991
Bernie Kosar 1991
Steve Deberg 1990
Here are the ones that jumped from 31+ into the top 10:
Eli Manning 2005
Drew Bledsoe 2002
Michael Vick 2002
Daunte Culpepper 2000
Donovan McNabb 2000
Shaun King 2000
Jon Kitna 1999
Brad Johnson 1999
Kurt Warner 1999
Elvis Grbac 1999
Randall Cunningham 1998
Trent Green 1998
Steve McNair 1997
Kordell Stewart 1997
Jeff George 1997
Warren Moon 1997
Bobby Hebert 1996
Erik Kramer 1995
Steve Bono 1995
Randall Cunningham 1994
Dan Marino 1994
Randall Cunningham 1992
Brett Favre 1992
Stan Humphries 1992
Steve Young 1991
Tim Rosenbach 1990
And, for fun, here are the two rookies:
Peyton Manning 1998
Rick Mirer 1993
Like the RB thread, I just though maybe we could find some reason certain guys make a jump. It appears to me that quite a few were part-time players in year n-1, others came back from injury, and the remainder were backups in year n-1 and move to a new team as the starter in year n.
Just on additional note. Since 1990, the number 1 QB has come from: 2, 2, 7, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 9, 69, 73, 14, 1, 1, 20. So, while they usually come from the top 10 (many times even top 2), five out of the last seven years has had someone jump from 9 or lower up to 1. Kurt Warner and Daunte Culpepper are the 69 and 73.
