If guys like Eli and Stafford deserve a tier 2 designation, so does Alex Smith

It just easy to overlook him because he lacks the sexy arm, but Manning doesnt exactly possess a cannon either

And in spite of his arm, Stafford has yet to win a playoff game

I agree with the coaches.

Sanchez 31. **** Dungver!!

Poor Ossweiler. Poor wealthy Ossweiler.

Poor Texans.

All these guys could just as easily be dropped down a level

12. Flacco
13. Ryan
14. Stafford
15. Dalton

26. Taylor
27. Osweiler
28. Bradford

I don't agree with these rankings. Although, I do like seeing Sanchez at 31. Is Gabbert still Tier 4? I thought he was turning his career around last season in San Francisco. I would at least bump him up to the low end of tier 3 at this point. I think Carr is about right, but I wouldn't put him above Smith just yet. Easy 6 is right. Smith should be there with Stafford and Eli and the Ginger. Hard to believe the Kaep has dropped to tier 4. I bet that changes under Kelly

Alexi is ranked exactly as he should which is average nothing less and nothing more.

Behind Carr huh? That should give Fade trolls some nice ammo.

Stupid. Smith is a better player than Carr and Winston for god's sake. That list is just about stats. It doesn't take into account leadership, grit and the ability to move the chains with your feet. Flacco is a loser that had 1 month of greatness.

Alex should have a second tier ranking.

Yeah until the games are played.

It's a bummer to see that Denver is moving up in the quarterback rankings from last year.

0.00

These kinds of polls are maddening.
Here's the criteria for the tiers:
Tier 1: Can carry his team each week. Team wins because of him.
Tier 2: Can carry team sometimes but not as consistently.
Tier 3: Legit starter but needs heavy run game/defense to win.
Tier 4: Might not want this guy starting all 16 games.
Tier 5: Do not think this guy should be starting.

shEli has never carried her team w/o a heavy run game/defense. Never!!!
NEVER!!!!!!11!!!!1!!!!
