Quarterbacks Ranking (Continued)
6. Nick Foles - In just 13 games , Foles stabilize himself as solid option last year. I wouldn't consider him a must-draft , but taking a chance could be worth it. In 2013 , Foles was 203/317 (64%) , 2871 Yards , 27 TDs (8.5%) and , 2 Ints (0.6%). His stats were terrific. His numbers could have been much better. Given he stayed on this pace. In 13 games , he averaged 222.4 yards/g , 2.1 TDs/g and 0.2 Ints/g. His final stats could have been: 3558 yards , 33 TDs and 3 Ints. Those are some sick good numbers.
7. Robert Griffin III - RGIII is a bit of risk for 2014 for anyone drafting him. Based on mock draft results , he is projected to go around 64th (10-teams). Thats actually a nice bargain deal. Especially if he can turn into his 2012 self. Last year wasn't the year for RGIII. Now a full year past surgery , he could be primed for a fantastic season. The addition of DeSean Jackson gives him a great arsenal of weaponry to his disposal. Robert most dangerous weapon could his ability to gain yards by using his legs.
8. Cam Newton - I really don't know if Cam deserves to be this high. I believe any great Qb can use less than stellar talent and work them to his advantage. At the same time , I don't like what Carolina have given Cam to work with. Expect Cam ranking to drop , but how far is the question before my season ranking comes out. Luckily we get a few glances of the Carolina offense in the preseason.
9. Matt Ryan - Matty Ice slipped under my radar until just recently. But I don't expect , I was the only one. There no secret that Ryan had bad 2013. Nobody knows that better then Matt Ryan himself. With a healthy Roddy White and Julio Jones. He could be the top 10 guy , we all know and love. Ryan's stats before Julio Jones went down vs after : 329 yards/g (First 5 games) v 233 yards/g (last 11 games). 10 TDs (First 5 games) vs 16 TDs (last 11 games). 3 Ints (First 5 games) vs 14 Ints (Last 11 games). Yeah I know it invalid based on the 5 games/ 11 games sample size comparison. Still interesting though.
10. Tom Brady - I have a ton of respect for Brady. Fact of the matter is , Brady doesn't have the supporting cast as he did back in 2012. His numbers were really good because of the players around him. I am not saying Brady isn't great. But I do believe , he isn't at the elite status anymore. Can he be a top 10 quarterback? Sure why not. The young Pats Receiving core needs to help him out some though.
