NFL quarterback rankings, Week 3: Trevor Siemian shines, Carson Palmer stinks

After two weeks, we’ve seen Trevor Siemian step up, Carson Palmer step down, and Alex Smith show out. The NFL is a weird place right now.

For those who aren’t aware, this quarterback rankings are based off a combination of history, current play and projected ability moving forward. Thus, they are very fluid. Enjoy.

Scott Zolak Division

32. Jacoby Brissett (Prev: NA)

Brissett looked exactly like what you would expect for a backup who got into the fold two weeks ago. He was inaccurate, slow through reads and generally awful. Somehow, the Colts almost won the game, which speaks volumes about the Cardinals.

31. Case Keenum (Prev: NA)

Keenum might be here for a week, or he could be the starter for a month. If you support the Vikings, hope for the former. Keenum did nothing against an average Pittsburgh defense, hitting on 20-of-37 for 154 yards. It was ugly.

30. Blake Bortles (Prev: 31)

Bortles was terrible against the Titans, throwing a pair of interceptions. He only moves up the rankings because Brissett and Keenum are backups, and somehow even worse. To this juncture, Bortles is completing 56.4 percent of his throws. Gross.

29. Mike Glennon (Prev: 28)

We’re officially on Mitchell Trubisky watch. Glennon was terrible on Sunday, throwing a pair of interceptions and losing a fumble in the first half of a 29-7 blowout defeat. Glennon ultimately threw for 300 yards, challenging Bortles for the king of garbage time.
