Best quarterbacks by team: 8-1

We arrived to the bottom of our ranking of the best team quarterbacks. The cream of the cream among the NFL pins. The Bradys, the Brees, the Rodgers and, of course, the Mahomes.

This Top 8 also includes three other quarterbacks 26 and under who are called to be, along with “Showtime” Mahomes, the new icons of the NFL.

8.- DALLAS COWBOYS

Dak Prescott, Andy Dalton, Ben DiNucci, Clayton Thorson

There’s a name that’s making headlines this offseason: Dak Prescott. The young Cowboys passer remains in negotiations with the team to sign a multi-year deal, after Jerry Jones, franchise owner and general manager, decided to label him a Franchise Player.

Prescott wants a four-year deal, and Jones reportedly offers him one for five seasons. However, when the two sides agree, Prescott will be one of the NFL’s three highest-paid passers. Deserved or not, this is how the quarterback market works in this league.

Dak passed for 4,902 yards in 2019, the highest in his career and second highest in franchise history., just behind Tony Romo’s 4,903 yards in 2013. His 30 touchdown passes were also a personal mark and he was only caught 23 times.

Prescott, 40-24 in four years as a starter in Dallas, has proven to be a leader and his presence since the start of the training camp is more important than everWell, with the arrival of coach Mike McCarthy also comes a new offensive to Frisco.

When he decides to sign, Prescott will encounter one of the NFL’s best receiving corps, made up of Amari Cooper, rookie CeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup.

In a move more intelligent than surprising, Jones signed veteran Andy Dalton a few days ago, freshly cut by the Bengals. Let no one be confused. Dalton does not arrive in Dallas to compete with Prescott for the title, but he is a parachute in case the negotiations with Dak stall.

In nine seasons in Cincinnati and 133 games as a starter, Dalton finished with a 70-61-2 record. With 16 touchdown passes in 2019, he reached 204, with which he exceeded Ken Anderson’s 197 and now ranks first in franchise history. Dalton is a more than adequate passer for the Cowboys’ offense, if necessary.

Ben DiNucci was drafted in the seventh round in Draft 2020. Although he spent his three years in college football in Pittsburgh, only in 2019 was he the Panthers’ starter. He played in 10 games, in which he had 1,091 yards, 5 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Your mission should be to pay attention and learn as much as you can from Prescott and Dalton.

Clayton Thorson joined the team in 2019 and spent the entire season in the practice squad. This year he will fight a place on the roster with DiNucci.

7.- HOUSTON TEXANS

Deshaun Watson, AJ McCarron, Alex McGough, Nick Tiano

Deshaun Watson, 24, is one of the young quarterbacks that They have become the new icons of the NFL.

In 2019 he had 26 touchdown passes and ran for seven other touchdowns, thus matching Steve Young as the only quarterbacks with at least two seasons in which they threw 25 passes to the diagonals and ran for five touchdowns.

It took him 29 games to get to 7,500 yards and tied for second place of all time Dan Marino, Marc Bulger and Matthew Stafford; Only Kurt Warner reached the 7,500-yard mark in the fastest time (27 games). In three years and 37 games as a starter in Houston, Watson is 24-13.

<figure id = "summary_2 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589320468_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '548', 'Deshaun Watson has brought the Texans to the playoffs in their first two years as a starter. / Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

This year he will miss DeAndre Hopkins, one of the best receivers in the league, who inexplicably sent the Texans to Arizona in exchange for running back David Johnson.

AJ McCarron came to Houston last year as Watson’s backup. He played a game at the end of the season, when coach Bill O’Brien gave his starters rest before the Playoffs. It was his first game since 2015, when he started three weeks with the Bengals. Cincinnati recruited him in the fifth round of the 2014 Draft.

To theex McGough spent the past campaign in the practice squad, after being signed a month after Jacksonville sent him to waivers. It is a seventh round selection of the 2018 Draft (Seattle) that so far has zero experience as a starter in the NFL.

Nick Tiano signed as a free agent rookie after two years as a starter at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, with 35 touchdown passes and 6,569 yards. It measures 1.93 meters and weighs 105 kilos. His presence in the bag and mechanics remind us of Philip Rivers, but he will have to compete with McGough for a place on the roster.

6.- TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Tom Brady, Blaine Gabbert, Ryan Griffin, Reid Sinnett

There is a new boy in town. A 42-year-old boy who has won everything, but still has something to prove.

After 20 years, nine Super Bowls and six champion rings, Tom Brady left the New England Patriots to become a free agent for the first time in his career and signing with the Buccaneers for two years and $ 50 million.

Brady likely hasn’t felt backed up his last year in New England. The team did little or nothing to give it a decent receiving body and “TB12” finished with just 24 touchdown passes, the lowest in its career since 2006. It ranks second all-time with 74,571 passing yards and 541 passing passes. touchdown.

<figure id = "summary_3 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589320538_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '548', 'Tom Brady play & aacute; for another organization after spending two decades with the Patriots. / Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

But Brady believes he still has gas in the tank and arrives at a Tampa Bay team that offers him probably the best receivers of his entire career, with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and newly signed Rob Gronkowski, who left the “retreat” to join his friend in the buccaneer adventure.

In his last three seasons with the Patriots, Brady averaged 4,329.7 yards, 28.3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. There is no team in the NFL that is as intriguing as the Buccaneers, who will have five games in primetime in 2020.

Blaine Gabbert is about to start his second campaign in Tampa Bay and he is the favorite to be a substitute for Brady. He has nine years of NFL experience, after being drafted in the first round of the 2011 Draft by the Jaguars. In 48 games as a starter he has a record of 13-35.

Ryan Griffin is a veteran with minimal starting experience. He was signed in 2013 by New Orleans, arrived in Tampa Bay in 2015, and will fight the QB3 spot with Reid Sinnett.

Sinnett is a rookie who signed as a free agent after a year as a starter in San Diego. He finished second in college history in yards (3,528); fourth in full passes (252); sixth in percentage of effectiveness (66.9%) and ninth in touchdowns (32).

5.- SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

Russell Wilson, Anthony Gordon

When you talk about the best quarterbacks in the NFL, Russell Wilson always has to be in the top five. Plus, it’s the reason the Seahawks are contenders in the NFC. Seattle is always one move away from “DangeRuss” to return to a game or win it.

His record in eight seasons and 128 uninterrupted games as a starter is 86-41-1. Those 86 wins equaled Tom Brady’s record for a quarterback in his first eight league seasons.

Wilson has 227 touchdown passes and 29,734 passing yards, both franchise records. In 72 games, he has thrown at least two shipments to the endgame, second in history (tied with Dan Marino) in his first eight seasons, just behind Peyton Manning’s 74.

<figure id = "summary_4 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589320683_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '548', 'Russell Wilson has brought the Seahawks to two Super Bowl appearances (LXVIII and XLIX), with a win in that instance. / Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

Wilson is a master of improvisation after a broken play, He knows when to run for a first and 10, and he’s probably the best quarterback in the league under pressure.

Anthony Gordon is the other quarterback on the Seahawks’ roster. at the time of this ranking. Gordon was signed as a free agent rookie. He spent two years at Washington State, but only in 2019 was a Cougars starter; He completed 71.6% of his shipments, with 5,579 yards, 48 ​​touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Gordon has an excellent touch on passes over 25 yards, but what is most surprising is his patience in the protection bag.

Your game will rise tremendously as you begin to absorb Wilson’s wisdom. What a luxury.

4.- BALTIMORE RAVENS

Lamar Jackson, Robert Griffin III, Trace McSorley, Tyler Huntley

Lamar Jackson is the most dangerous weapon in the NFL. The Ravens quarterback can destroy you with his arm or legs.

In 2019 he was the league leader with 36 touchdown passes and third with a 113.3 rating. In addition, he had 1,206 yards rushing, breaking Michael Vick’s record (1,039 in 2006) for a quarterback in a single season.

He had five games of 100 or more rushing yards, another new mark for an NFL passer and tied Robert Griffin III’s record with 1,000 yards in his first 21 games in the league. In the visits to Miami and Cincinnati recorded a 158.3 rating (the highest possible), the first passer to do so more than once in the same season since Ben Roethlisberger, in 2007.

<figure id = "summary_5 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589320847_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '548', 'Lamar Jackson will be & aacute; in his second full season as a starter. Despite this, he already has experience in a couple of playoffs. / Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

How long are the Ravens going to use Jackson as just another running back? Because neither his speed nor his athletic skills can save him from a blow that could even end his career. And the best example is at home with Robert Griffin III, Jackson’s understudy.

Griffin III debuted in the NFL in 2012 with the Washington Redskins, then led by Mike Shanahan, who installed an offense to capitalize on the running skills of the former Baylor quarterback. And at first it paid off.

“RG3” ran for 815 yards and 7 touchdowns as a rookie, but the Wild Card against Seattle came injured from the knee and left the game practically on one leg. The trailing injury sustained her after a hit by Haloti Ngata in a game against Baltimore in December.

Griffin III was never the same again, he missed the entire 2015 campaign And, after a year in Cleveland, he is about to start his third season in Baltimore. His record as a starter is 16-25.

Trace McSorley was drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 Draft And Tyler Huntley is a rookie, signed as a free agent. Like Jackson, Huntley is a quarterback with running skills. In 2019, his last year in Utah, he completed 73.1% of his passes, for 3,092 yards and 19 touchdowns; He also ran for 290 yards and five other touchdowns.

He ran the 40 yards in 4.56 seconds, the fastest for a quarterback in Scouting Combine 2020.

3.- NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Drew Brees, Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, Tommy Stevens

Drew Brees is synonymous with excellence and consistency. His 547 touchdowns and 77,416 yards rank first of all time. At 40 years old, in 2019 he registered an effectiveness percentage of 74.3%, second highest in history, only behind his own record: 74.4% in 2018.

The Saints are timeless contenders in the NFC thanks to this veteran of 19 seasons in the NFL. In 274 regular season games, his record is 163-111 and 8-8 in the Playoffs, with a champion ring. And that is Brees’ big pending task: to return to the Super Bowl.

<figure id = "summary_6 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589320919_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '548', 'Drew Brees is the Most prolific passer in NFL history, but he still has pending scores in the postseason. / Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

In New Orleans, he has had (and has) teams built for it, but in the postseason they fall short, either because of a “miracle” or a bad call from the officials. In 2020, Brees will try again, leading an offensive that welcomes Emmanuel Sanders., who must make a spectacular couple with Michael Thomas.

Jameis Winston was a yard and interception machine in 2019 with the Buccaneers. He was leader of the league with 5,109 passing yards, second with 33 shipments to the diagonals and leader with 32 interceptions.

With the arrival of Tom Brady, Winston became a free agent and the Saints decided to sign him on as a substitute for BreesWhich is not a bad idea because he knows the NFC South Division perfectly. In five years and 72 games as a starter in Tampa Bay, his record was 28-42.

Taysom Hill is the most versatile player in the NFL: He has stats like passer, runner, catcher, and even kickback returner. Coach Sean Payton is creative when it comes to Hill, who threw just six passes last season, but had 19 receptions, 6 of them touchdowns. He also ran 27 times, including a 30-yard run to the diagonals. Expect more of the same in 2020.

Tommy Stevens was a seventh-round pick in Draft 2020 from Mississippi State. In his only year with the Bulldogs (he spent four seasons at Penn State) he played in 9 games and he finished with 1,155 yards, 11 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.

Stevens can also make plays with his legs and in his college run he ran for 887 yards and 14 touchdowns, 12 of them with the Nittany Lions.

2.- GREEN BAY PACKERS

Aaron Rodgers, Jordan Love, Tim Boyle, Jalen Morton

Aaron Rodgers’ campaign in 2019 was simply spectacular. With basically a reliable receiver (Davante Adams), Rodgers finished with 4,002 yards, 26 touchdowns and just 4 interceptions. He led Green Bay to the NFC Championship Game and all he needed was more and better receivers, but the Packers had other plans.

In 12 years and 174 games as a starter, Aaron Rodgers is 113-60-1, 11-8 in the Playoffs and a champion ring. He has 364 touchdown passes and it seems inevitable that in a few years he will break the mark of the 442 franchise, held by Brett Favre.

<figure id = "summary_7 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589321049_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '549', 'Aaron Rodgers seems doomed to suffer the same fate as Brett Favre in 2005, when A-Rod was drafted by the Packers. / Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

And when all Rodgers needed was a catcher, in the Draft the Packers used their first pick (26 overall) on Jordan Love, from Utah State.

In three years as a starter for the Aggies, Love completed 61.2% of his shipments for 8,600 yards, with 60 touchdowns and 29 interceptions.. On the ground he added another 403 yards and 9 touchdowns. He has been compared to Patrick Mahomes for his ability to throw the ball at different angles or on the move, but he is not ready for the NFL.

Obviously in Green Bay they see him as the heir to the post that Rodgers has until today and for this reason many assure that “A-Rod” will not end his career with the Packers.

Tim Boyle is about to start his third season at Green Bay. He came in 2018 as a free agent rookie and has zero starting experience.

Jalen Morton is a rookie not selected in the Draft, coming from Prairie View A&M. Morton, a two-year starter with the Panthers, finished with 33 touchdown passes and 22 interceptions, with 16 ground touchdowns. Morton is another boy who, like Love, basically operated from the Shotgun and with his 525 rushing yards was second to the team in 2019.

Probably the Packers are going to radically change the profile of their quarterbacks In the not too distant future.

1.- KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

Patrick Mahomes, Chad Henne, Jordan Ta’amu, Shea Patterson

Patrick Mahomes is the new face of the NFL. The February Super Bowl title capped his meteoric NFL career. In just 31 professional games, “Showtime” Mahomes has 76 touchdown passes and 9,412 yards, a new mark in the NFL.

He has six games with at least 300 passing yards and four passes to the diagonals, with whom he broke the record shared by Dan Marino and Kurt Warner (5) in their first 40 games in the league. Mahomes is also charismatic, and with that style of playing as if he were in his backyard, he has won millions of fans.

His record as a starter is an impressive 24-7 in the regular season and 4-1 in the Playoffs, being his only loss to the Brady Patriots in the 2018 AFC Championship Game.

<figure id = "summary_8 | photo" onclick = "javascript: widePhoto (this, '/us/imagenes/2020/05/12/nfl/1589320077_721462_1589321160_sumario_grande.jpg', '976', '548', 'Patrick Mahomes comes from Win the MVP of Super Bowl LIV and the Most Valuable Player in the 2018 campaign, all of this before turning 25. Getty Images’); return false; “class =” item-multimedia “>

Chad Henne is a veteran of 11 seasons, the most recent two in Kansas City. This second-round pick in the 2008 Draft has 53 games as a starter, with a record of 18-35.

Jordan Ta’amu was signed in 2019 by the Texans as a free agent rookie. He played two years (2017-18) with the Ole Miss Rebels, but he has not had an opportunity in the NFL.

Shea Patterson is a rookie not selected in the Draft. His last two years in college football he started in Michigan, where he passed for 5,661 yards, with 45 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

Patterson is a typical protective bag quarterback, as required by the Wolverines’ offense. He will fight Ta’amu for the QB3 position and the loser will surely be cut in September.
