NFL quarterback rankings, Week 17: Jared Goff stinks

Rob Johnson Division

25. Cody Kessler

Kessler likely gets the final start for the Browns in Cleveland. All things considered, the kid showed a glimmer of hope for an NFL roster spot moving forward.

24. Matt Cassel

Just when you though the Matt Cassel Experience was over, it rears it’s ugly head again with Marcus Mariota sidelined. This will be an ugly week in Tennessee.

23. Trevor Siemian

Siemian has been figured out. If teams take away the deep ball and get some pressure, Siemian struggles. He was lit up by the Kansas City defense on Christmas night.

22. Colin Kaepernick

Kaepernick will be on the market this offseason, and could have some suitors. He’s probably a backup, but a struggling team might look at him as a reclamation project who can start.

Jon Kitna Division

21. Carson Wentz

The Eagles are struggling to finish the season strong, but Wentz is giving some hope. He’s been up-and-down this year, but a strong offseason could have his arrow pointing up.

20. Cam Newton

Newton is lucky to be this high on the list. After being the MVP last year, he’s been brutal in 2016. With a week left, Newton has 3,272 passing yards and a 52.7 completion rate, worse than Jared Goff.

19. Matt Moore

Moore has been excellent since replacing Ryan Tannehill two weeks ago. The question is whether Moore can keep it up in the postseason.

18. Sam Bradford

Bradford has no help around him, and he’s hitting on 71.3 percent of his throws with just four interceptions. He has limitations, but he is not the problem in Minnesota.

17. Carson Palmer

Could this be the final game of Palmer’s career? He’s struggled this year and with his injury history, maybe it’s time to walk away.
