NFL quarterback rankings, Week 13: Matt Ryan rolls, Brock Osweiler terrible
Hugh Millen Division
25. Tyrod Taylor
Taylor didn’t do much against a bad Jacksonville defense, but lucky for him it didn’t matter. Tough to see Buffalo picking up his option after this season.
24. Trevor Siemian
One game does not a career make, but Siemian was terrific on Sunday night against Kansas City. It’s not often a Denver quarterback throws for 368 yards and loses.
23. Carson Wentz
Wentz started out like a house of fire, and has cooled since. Still, he looks to be part of a bright future in Philadelphia if the receivers become reliable.
22. Carson Palmer
Palmer continues to play very mediocre football. At this juncture, it would be surprising if the Cardinals aren’t looking quarterback early in April’s draft.
21. Sam Bradford
Bradford has played well much of the season, but that Thanksgiving meltdown of an interception he threw might have ended Minnesota dreams. He’s Alex Smith, without the winning.
Kyle Orton Division
20. Joe Flacco
Flacco is having a tough year with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The Ravens are 6-5 with this stagnant offense, but the $120 million man has to do more.
19. Alex Smith
Smith was a full-blown dumpster fire for most of Sunday night, and then authored one of the most amazing comebacks we’re seen. Smith, much like his Chiefs, are defying everything we know and doing it with glee.
18. Cam Newton
Newton has to be dropped down the list. He made a couple of huge throws on Sunday, but his inexcusable pick-six to Khalil Mack cost Carolina dearly. Between this, his lack of running and poor accuracy, he’s struggling.
17. Andy Dalton
Dalton is sixth in the NFL with 3,043 passing yards, but he’s struggling to finish games or find open receivers without A.J. Green. After a hot start, Dalton has one 300-yard game since Week 2.
