It's OK, you have to factor age into this. AP prob doesn't have too many years left. Oline seems absent

"If he sustains all of those 2012 gains, he's a top-five quarterback in the prime of his career. If he drops back to his pre-2012 levels, he's a good quarterback, but one who is likely to be overpaid by virtue of a market-value deal."

-Can't say I disagree with this assessment of Matt Ryan.

Big Ben should be higher because of how Pittsburgh collapsed after he got hurt each of the past 2 seasons.

Eh. I'm a Saints fan, but when you take age and contract into consideration, Ryan obviously has more trade value than Brees. I would hope most rational Saints fans would agree (few and far between, I know).

Obviously Ryan has more trade value than Brees because of age. I don't think anyone could argue that. I think some of the wr's are too high and i don't think Russell Wilson should be that high either

Jimmy Graham has more value than a handful of those guys. Even if he is franchised next season, you're looking at somewhere around $5m/yr over the next two years.

I was just reading this and trying to make myself come to terms with taking Wilson over Luck due to contracts.

3 rookie QB's?

I don't support the idea that QB's are great until a few years of success. Vince Young would probably have been toward the top of this list after his rookie year, he's unemployed right now.

Even accounting for the injury, I dont understand Peyton Manning at 29 if Brady's at 7.

One of those two either needs to be a lot higher or a lot lower

San Fran dominates that list, but I'm interested to see if Seattle can make the West the most interesting division in the league again.

True. Kaep, Wilson and Luck all had phenomenal years but I need a larger sample size before I crown 'em.
