NFL quarterback rankings, Week 12: Dak Prescott can’t lose
Kurt Warner Division
10. Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers is going to miss the playoffs for the second time as a starter, but it’s not all on him. The defense is a complete sieve. As for Discount Doublecheck, he’s racked up 2,761 yards and 25 touchdowns.
9. Philip Rivers
Rivers is also going to be sitting out the postseason dance, but it has nothing to do with his performance. He has thrown for 2,886 yards, fourth-best in the league. Now, name one of this receivers.
8. Dak Prescott
Prescott is the typical “more than just stats” guy. He has 2,640 yards and 17 touchdowns against two interceptions, but his presence might even be more important. Prescott has shown the way for a franchise long lost.

7. Andrew Luck
Luck has no semblance of an offensive line and his coaching staff might as well be the fans in the third row. Yet, he has the Colts at 5-5 while tossing 19 touchdowns. He’s incredible.
6. Drew Brees
Brees will have another year of playing meaningless December football, but he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He’s leading the NFL with 3,277 passing yards to go with 26 touchdowns. Absurd.
5. Matthew Stafford
Stafford only ranks 12th in passing yards, but he is getting the job done and then some. The Lions are 6-4 and he’s completing 67.8 percent of his throws without Calvin Johnson. He’s in the MVP race.
