Rob Johnson Division

25. Carson Wentz

Wentz started the season en fuego. Since, he’s been all kinds of inconsistent and conservative. The Eagles have to hope he matures throughout the offseason.

24. Trevor Siemian

The overall numbers aren’t terrible for Siemian, but the Broncos have scored one touchdown in two games. At some point, that falls on the quarterback.

23. Matt Moore

Moore has always been a solid backup, and he showed why against the Jets. Throwing four touchdowns on the road is impressive, regardless of opponent.

22. Sam Bradford

Bradford was acquired for a first-round pick, and at this point, Philadelphia got the better end of the deal by a longshot. The Vikings got blown out by the Colts, and Bradford was a bystander.

21. Tyrod Taylor

Taylor is going to be a fascinating name on the market. Buffalo isn’t paying him $27 million next year. How much can he get as a free agent? Currently, Taylor has 14 touchdowns and 2,694 passing yards.

Jon Kitna Division

20. Alex Smith

Smith was brutal against the Titans, completing 15-of-28 for 163 yards and an end zone interception. He’s holding back a Super Bowl-caliber roster in Kansas City.

19. Cam Newton

Newton is a great athlete, but his accuracy and attitude leaves plenty to be desired. It’s fair to wonder if we’ve seen the best of newton despite his young age.

18. Carson Palmer

At this juncture, one wonders if the Cardinals will move on. Palmer is still top-10 in yardage (3,694) but has 13 interceptions. He’s also not getting any younger.

17. Joe Flacco

Flacco is having an odd year. He’s checking down like Alex Smith, but his occasional deep throws are still hitting. All told, hes got 3,788 yards and 19 touchdowns, but with 13 interceptions.
