NFL quarterback rankings, Week 15: Tom Brady and everyone else
Jim McMahon Division
16. Alex Smith
Smith was awesome in the first half of Thursday night’s game in a crucial win over Oakland. His numbers are average, but there has to be something said for constantly winning with a high completion percentage (67.3) and just five interceptions.
15. Marcus Mariota
After completing 6-of-20 for 88 yards on Sunday against Denver, Mariota has to drop a few spots. The kid still has 25 touchdowns, so consider this season a whopping success.
14. Andy Dalton
Dalton is fifth in the league with 3,555 passing yards and 16 touchdowns against six interceptions. However, much of that yardage came early and the Bengals have cratered since.
John Brodie Division
13. Dak Prescott
Prescott was hideous against the Giants, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to fade. The rookie still has 19 touchdowns to four interceptions, and can bounce back this Sunday.
12. Philip Rivers
Rivers is a great player, but he’s having a rough end to his 2016 season. The Chargers’ quarterback threw three more picks on Sunday, raising his total to a league-high 17 this season.
11. Jameis Winston
Winston might be authoring a shocking run to the playoffs. The second-year man has 23 touchdowns and is averaging 7.28 yards per attempt with only one good receiver.
