The List, Week Seven: Carter’s Top 25 NFL Quarterbacks
Published: October 22, 2009
No Comments
There’s something with Matt Schaub that I just love. He’s been playing absolutely great, he’s been highly underrated over the past few years, and he’s doing a great job at silencing his critics. Regardless of his team’s W-L record, Matt Schaub should be ranked at least in the top five in everybody’s rankings up to this point.
With that said, here’s how I see the NFL’s top 25 quarterbacks, based on their performances this season only:
1. Matt Schaub (Texans): 65.3 completion percentage, 1,810 passing yards, 14 touchdowns
2. Tom Brady (Patriots): 64.7 completion percentage, 1,724 passing yards, 12 touchdowns
3. Ben Roethlisberger (Steelers): 72.5 completion percentage, 1,887 passing yards, 10 touchdowns
4. Joe Flacco (Ravens): 64.4 completion percentage, 1,674 passing yards, 11 touchdowns
5. Peyton Manning (Colts): 73.5 completion percentage, 1,645 passing yards, 12 touchdowns
6. Kyle Orton (Broncos): 63.9 completion percentage, 1,465 passing yards, nine touchdowns
7. Philip Rivers (Chargers): 59.0 completion percentage, 1,519 passing yards, seven touchdowns
8. Aaron Rodgers (Packers): 64.6 completion percentage, 1,456 passing yards, eight touchdowns
9. David Garrard (Jaguars): 61.3 completion percentage, 1,464 passing yards, five touchdowns
10. Kurt Warner (Cardinals): 68.7 completion percentage, 1,441 passing yards, eight touchdowns
11. Drew Brees (Saints): 69.2 completion percentage, 1,400 passing yards, 13 touchdowns
12. Eli Manning (Giants): 60.8 completion percentage, 1,390 passing yards, 11 touchdowns
13. Brett Favre (Vikings): 69.7 completion percentage, 1,347 passing yards, 12 touchdowns
14. Carson Palmer (Bengals): 59.1 completion percentage, 1,375 passing yards, eight touchdowns
15. Jay Cutler (Bears): 64.0 completion percentage, 1,201 passing yards, 10 touchdowns
16. Tony Romo (Cowboys): 58.2 completion percentage, 1,341 passing yards, six touchdowns
17. Matt Ryan (Falcons): 64.7 completion percentage, 1,162 passing yards, nine touchdowns
18. Jason Campbell (Redskins): 65.6 completion percentage, 1,197 passing yards, six touchdowns
19. Kerry Collins (Titans): 54.8 completion percentage, 1,071 passing yards, five touchdowns
20. Mark Sanchez (Jets): 52.1 completion percentage, 1,035 passing yards, five touchdowns
21. Trent Edwards (Bills): 59.5 completion percentage, 985 passing yards, five touchdowns
22. Matt Cassel (Chiefs): 57.4 completion percentage, 897 passing yards, seven touchdowns
23. Shaun Hill (49ers): 56.3 completion percentage, 898 passing yards, five touchdowns
24. Matthew Stafford (Lions): 56.8 completion percentage, 894 passing yards, three touchdowns
25. Jake Delhomme (Panthers): 59.4 completion percentage, 847 passing yards, four touchdowns
