Zelmo Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'm no fan of ESPN, but when I saw they had created a new stat for measuring QB performance I was curious to see how it would judge Eli.... The quarterbacks under consideration broke down as follows:Top tier: Brady, Peyton Manning, Matt Ryan, Michael Vick, Rodgers and Drew Brees. Well above average: Josh Freeman, Eli Manning and Philip Rivers. Above average: Ben Roethlisberger, Tony Romo, Joe Flacco, Matt Schaub, David Garrard and Kerry Collins. Around average: Matt Cassel, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Mark Sanchez, Carson Palmer, Colt McCoy, Kyle Orton and Jon Kitna. Below average: Shaun Hill, Jason Campbell, Jay Cutler, Matt Hasselbeck, Chad Henne, Donovan McNabb, Sam Bradford and Alex Smith. Poor: Derek Anderson, Brett Favre and Jimmy Clausen. I don't think Eli is an elite quarterback, but I've always thought he gets way too little respect from people and is WAY better then a lot of people give him credit for. Especially the last three seasons. So I was happy to see this. -Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStroud Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 If Kerry Collins is rated above average, this guy must have a brain tumor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubeck Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Ryan and Vick in elite status???????? No way. It is ESPN you know any kind of player rating they might create is going to include some multiplyer based on media likability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
