IDK bout everyone else, but I'd take Stafford over Rivers and Ryan everyday of the week.

 

[Blake]

Over Rivers? Hell no. Ryan? Maybe.

The thing is Ryan and Stafford each have an elite weapon to turn to. Rivers really doesn't. I'm not saying Jackson and Gates are average but they're no White or Johnson.

 

[Blake]

Justin Smith was robbed.

 

[RipCity32]

Regardless of what your weapons are: 5038 yards, 41 TDs, and the 5th best completion percentage in the NFL is impressive as fuck for such a young age.

I mean you could argue Rivers is better if you'd like, but 30 spots higher is ridiculous if you ask me, coming off the season Stafford just had.

Can someone tell me why Tyron Smith is 38, and Solder isn't even on the list?

 

[Elite]

Because he sucks?

 

[bosoxlover12]

Because he sucks?

Solder > Smith


Keep on trollin tho

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Matt Ryan is so massively overrated.

 

[cruzg24]

Oh damn JPP at 7, looks very good. Dude is a monster and will only get better.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Stafford should be ranked higher than 50th.

 

[elcheato]

Drew Brees should be #3 without much of a debate.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Ngata is a top 10 player. Calais Campbell should also be at least 10 spots higher.

And London Fletcher is constantly getting robbed in every way imaginable.

 

[Falcons11497]

Matt Ryan is so massively overrated.

theres a lotta haters in here I see

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Just because the truth is spoken does not mean you are a hater. Matt Ryan is not the 48th best player in the NFL, whether you are a homer or not is irrelevant, you should be able to see that.

He's a guy that was a very high draft pick and came out in his rookie year and surprised a lot of folks, turning a bad team around and heading them into the playoffs. But what has he done since? Can you honestly say he's really that much of a better player now than he was his rookie year? He's a good QB for the run first system the Falcons have, but he's not the 8th best QB in the NFL like this list has him.

 

[Rice18]

JPP and Peppers over Allen ? This guys a joke.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Can you honestly say he's really that much of a better player now than he was his rookie year?

Numbers say yes.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Numbers say yes.

61.1 completion percentage his rookie year
61.3 completion percentage last year
60.1 completion percentage since his rookie year

7.93 yards per attempt his rookie year
7.38 yards per attempt last year
6.79 yards per attempt since his rookie year


1.5 TD/INT ratio his rookie year
2.3 TD/INT ratio last year
2.3 TD/INT ratio since his rookie year

215 yards per game his rookie year
261 yards per game last year
235 yards per game since his rookie year

At best they got marginally better, at best. He's still very much the same player. Nowhere near the 48th best player and surely isn't the 8th best QB in the league.

With the weapons he has, his numbers should be a whole lot better. He still has no deep ball and his accuracy plummets over like ten yards. At this point it looks like he won't even make the top 100 for the players list on NFLN.
