After 10 weeks of NFL play, there are all kinds of arguments to be made in terms of MVP and best quarterback. Let’s try to add a good list to the argument.

As always, these are based off this year’s play with a dash of historic context. Here’s the link to last week’s rankings.

Blaine Gabbert Memorial Division

32. Colin Kaepernick

Kaepernick is completing 53 percent of his throws and the 49ers are 1-8. He deserves this spot and then some.

Jack Trudeau Division

31. Case Keenum

Keenum is the one guy who could challenge Kaepernick. The Rams are barely staying in the playoff picture with Keenum chucking nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

30. Bryce Petty

At least the Jets moved on from Ryan Fitzpatrick. What a train wreck.

29. Blake Bortles

Bortles might be reaching the “time to be benched” category. He can’t stop throwing interceptions and winding up for three seconds on each throw.

28. Josh McCown

The Browns are all kinds of rancid, and McCown is stinking up the joint, but at least he’s trying.

27. Brock Osweiler

When you go 14-of-27 for 99 yards against the Jaguars, you are terrible. Congrats on the $72 million, Houston.

Kelly Stouffer Division

26. Trevor Siemian

Siemian is doing enough to keep Denver in the playoff chase, but he’s starting to show major cracks in his foundation. If you take away the short routes, he’s finished.

25. Carson Wentz

Wentz is playing well enough for being a rookie, but the book is out. He will check down at every opportunity, and the Eagles don’t have enough playmakers to get yards after catch.

24. Tyrod Taylor

Taylor had a decent game against the Seahawks, but he is challenged to take over games. Until he gets better in intermediate throws, he’s limited.
