I’ve been giving this a serious rethink since I hastily dropped TB to No. 3 on my QB rankings after the abysmal 9-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Here’s what I’ve rethought…since the fabulous Tom Brady didn’t lose to either Patrick Mahomes or Aaron Rodgers why would I drop the most iconic player in NFL history two spots below them for just one bad game.
Plus…I needed some time to recalibrate my No. 7 and No. 8 on my list.
I love the fact Tom both destroyed several tablets and also collectively told the Saints bench to go fuck themselves.
This my friends is NFL quarterback leadership.
My revised list…
1 Tom Brady
2 Patrick Mahomes
3 Aaron Rodgers (those four combined games vs. the Bears and Lions still bother me) I honestly view Aaron and the Packers like a typical soft Big 12 team once they reach the NFC Championship Game. We’ll see.
4 Matthew Stafford
5 Josh Allen
6 Lamar Jackson
7 Justin Herbert
8 Mac Jones
If I were going to go deeper on my list…
I’d have Jalen Hurts at No. 17 and Baker Mayfield somewhere around No. 19. Baker hurt himself playing injured. Stefanski should not have allowed him to play with his shoulder injured. Plus, Baker needs to keep his wife off of Twitter. Sigh.
These are my Top 8. It’s a QB driven league for certain. So I want to see how many of my Top 8 make the overall quarterfinals in the NFL Playoffs.
I’m almost ready for Christmas break here on the award winning blog. Even Wolf Blitzer and Dan Patrick takes a few days off for Christmas. Just saying. I need an intern sub like Traber has now and again.
Merry Christmas.
