NFL QB Power Rankings: Ranking The Starters Through Week 8
No. 32-29
32. Michael Vick – Philadelphia Eagles
Michael Vick was once one of the most dangerous weapons in all of football, this is not that Vick. While Geno Smith was terrible, Vick hasn’t been any better in relief. Despite the limited sample size, his 46.4% completions and 3.6 yards per attempt don’t instill a lot of hope. Good luck in Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday Mike!
31. Zach Mettenberger – Tennessee Titans
Zach Mettenberger started an extended audition to be the long term answer for the Titans last week. The results weren’t great, but they weren’t terrible either. Time will tell if Mettenberger is the answer, but regardless you can expect some growing pains.
30. Blake Bortles – Jacksonville Jaguars (+1)
Blake Bortles moves up one spot from last week thanks to Vick and Mettenberger making their debuts at the bottom of the list. Bortles has to stop turning the ball over before he can climb much higher up these rankings. The talent is there, but patience will be needed.
29. Teddy Bridgewater – Minnesota Vikings (+3)
Teddy Bridgewater climbs out of the bottom spot on the list thanks to a solid performance against the Buccaneers in their win on Sunday. Bridgewater obviously still has some growing to do, but if I had to win one game today I think I would take Teddy over Bortles by a hair.
