After seven weeks, Matt Verderame goes through the NFL quarterback rankings. Philip Rivers will smile, Joe Flacco will not.

Let’s run through the NFL quarterback rankings now that Week 7 is in the books. If you missed last week or simply need a refresher for reference, here it is. As usual, this is based off this year’s play with a dash of historic context.

Blaine Gabbert Memorial Division

32. Colin Kaepernick

When you can’t complete half of your throws against the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, you have no business playing quarterback in the NFL.

Charlie Frye Division

31. Kevin Hogan

Hogan is a fifth-round rookie who was picked up on waivers. The Browns unfortunately have to put him into action because everyone else is hurt.

30. Case Keenum

Keenum threw four interceptions on Sunday in a loss to the Giants. At some point, Jared Goff has to make his pro debut.

29. Matt Barkley

This is not good for the Bears. But hey, go Cubs!

28. Landry Jones

Jones had a decent game against the Patriots, but only engineered 16 points with Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell around him.
