Kyle Orton Division

23. Jay Cutler

Cutler is basically auditioning for another team. Currently, that audition is seeing a cane come out from the side curtain. He’s been brutal.

22. Joe Flacco

Flacco has 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions, and his passes travel approximately six inches in the air. The Ravens have no offense, and Flacco isn’t helping that cause.

21. Alex Smith

Smith was statistically great on Sunday, except for the worst interception you’ll ever see in the end zone. The Chiefs were trailing 12-10 at the time, in the fourth quarter. If Smith starts throwing interceptions, he’s worthless.

Neil O’Donnell Division

20. Carson Palmer

Palmer and the Cardinals are sinking quicker than the Titanic. The veteran has 13 touchdowns to 10 interceptions, and he’s been skiddish in the pocket. Not a good look.

19. Sam Bradford

Bradford is completing 69.8 percent of his throws, nothing short of a miracle behind the Vikings’ offensive line. So why a ranking so low? He doesn’t make the big throws on tape.

18. Jameis Winston

Winston was brilliant against the Chiefs on Sunday, throwing for more than 330 yards. If he can cut down on interceptions, he’ll be a top-10 quarterback in no time.

17. Cam Newton

Newton continues to play bad football. Yes, the Panthers beat the Saints last week, but Newton hit on below 50 percent of his throws. He has to be much better.
