As of today who are your top five/bottom five QBs

[wgoldsph 1,020]

If the season started today and every team had to go into the season with the qb currently listed on the top of their depth chart who would you say are the top and bottom five starting qbs going into next year.  Base this on who you'd pick to lead your NFL team and not your fantasy team.  Just for the 21/22 season.

Top 5: Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, Watson, Allen or Wilson 

Bottom 5: Lock, Darnold, Bridgewater, Trubisky, Alex Smith 

 

 

 

 

[MAC_32 13,245]

Top 5 -Mahomes, Watson, Rodgers, Brady, Wilson

Bottom 5 (not counting Jax) - Lock, Trubisky, D Jones, Goff, Roethlisberger

[Capella 32,598]

Top: Mahomes, Brady, Rodgers, Watson, and I think Allen. Wilson right there. I think Herbert can crack this next year. 
 

Bottom (worst to 5th worst): whomever WFT currently has, Darnold, Trubisky, Lock, Big Ben. Daniel Jones knocking on the door. 

I know you said who is on their team but tough to add Jacksonville here knowing they are getting Trevor.

My picks

Top 5

Mahomes - the best qb in the game, even with a broken o line he still made throws nobody else can make, even if they clanged off his wrs helmets

Rodgers - if you'd asked me last year I'd have told you that he was closer to the bottom than the top, but an f-u mode Rodgers is like an angry hulk

Watson - the only reason Houston has won anything in the past few years

Wilson - let russ cook!

Allen - the 2nd to 3rd year leap he made was huge.  If he keeps it up I can see him moving above everyone not named Mahomes next year

 

Bottom five

5 Gardner Minshew - he's going to have a great career as a Fitzpatrick type journeyman who provides a spark to random teams before flaming out just as fast as he came on.  But he should never be someone's number one.

4 Alex Smith - a wonderful story, but he'd be better handing them up and coaching.  Should probably be further down but I don't have the heart because of what he's been through.

3 Daniel Jones - come on, bring on the hate.  Anyone who's seen me post knows I think Jones is a terrible qb.  People will make excuses, he didn't play with a healthy team, he was constantly under duress, a number of turnovers were his teams fault and not his, and they'll point out he improved later on in his second season.  But to me he's always going to be the player who allowed Jamal Adams to pluck the ball from his hands and run back an easy defensive td.  He's going to need to be Josh Allen 2.0 in his 3rd year for me to change my mind.

2 Sam Darnold - he never had a chance when Gase came to town and might be worse now than he was in college.  Maybe a qb whisper will save him.

1 Drew Lock - they sure know how to draft qbs in Denver.  Thank you, next.

*edit - Trubisky would be here but he's a fa

I wrote a whole paragraph about how Mitch Trubisky sucks, and then realized he wasn't under contract.

I had a hard time leaving him off, but If Trubisky and Cam don't count then gimme Stidham.

He doesn't have a job...well, other than fighting with kids that attend his camp

I think Darnold still has potential. Jets have a horrible o-line and no talent.

i would not want Big Ben but he had the second best season of his career last year in term of TD to INT ration of 33-10.  Ben was around 26-16 the last 4 full season before.

Trubisky will be a career backup from here on in.

[ZWK 2,154]

Bottom 8: NE (Stidham?), WAS (Smith?), CHI (Foles), DEN (Lock), NYJ (Darnold), JAC (Minshew?), PHI (Hurts), NO (Hill)

But JAC & NYJ already have a replacement lined up.

[Deamon 6,085]

Top 5: Mahomes, Rodgers, Allen, Watson, Wilson (HM- Brady)

Bottom 5: Lock, Hurts, Bridgewater, Dalton?, Alex Smith 

[Pigskin Fanatic 638]

if Brees retires, there isn't a QB on the Saints roster who wouldn't make that bottom 5 list.

[Sam Quentin 276]

Mahomes Allen Rodgers Wilson Watson

HM - Brady, Jackson, Murray

All bottoms will be replaced but here’s some baddies

Darnold, Lock, D Jones, Garropolo, NE, Jax 

I need to see more Hurts to rate him

[Ilov80s 32,314]

Top: Mahomes, Rodgers, Russ, Watson...big dropoff but I guess Allen
 

Bottom: What’s his name in New England, Gardner Minshew, Drew Lock, Mitch Trubisky and I’m torn between Alex Smith and Taysom Hill. Is Kitna under contract with Dallas? Could be whoever they have.

Interesting bottom 5. One of them has a ton of upside.

I know Ben isn’t the same QB anymore but listing him in the bottom 5 (given all the garbage that’s out there) is laughable.

I think we can safely sub Foles for Trubisky in all those bottom 5 lists. 

[Brunell4MVP 915]

There is zero chance Alex Smith is the starter in WAS.  He should not be on anyones list.  He's likely not to even be on the team. 

And Kyle Allen isn't signed yet.  So Taylor Heinicke, despite the nice showing against TB, has to be in the bottom five.  If they sign Kyle Allen, he's borderline bottom 5 too.

 

Top 5:  Mahomes, Rodgers, Wilson, Brady, Murray

Bottom 5: Wentz, Hurts, Lock, Mischew, Stidham  ... once WAS figures out if they actually have any QB, they will likely replace Wentz.

Tough crowd. I thought he looked pretty good getting thrown in as a rookie. Looked better than Tua to me, only difference is Tua’s defense was winning him games. 

[Birdie048 342]

Surprising few (1) listing of Wentz in Bottom 5 and no mention of Tua until compared to Hurts in last post. 

 

Top 5 has the same names listed a few times, but if you put it on 2nd half of season, you need to add Baker Mayfield as a consideration (purely from a stats). 

Not sure how many of the "bottom 5" can elevate their game like Buff Allen did in 2020.

Darnold has a chance to become the next after Gase reclamation project, and he's on a number of lists.  But considering Allen went from near bottom to top in a season, I agree with you.
