NFL quarterback rankings, Week 13: Alex Smith craters

SEATTLE, WA – NOVEMBER 20: Quarterback Russell Wilson /

Joe Montana Division

4. Russell Wilson (Prev: 3)

Wilson has no protection and his best weapon is Doug Baldwin. Somehow, he has thrown for 3,029 yards, tied with Drew Brees for third-most in the NFL. Wilson also has 23 touchdown passes. Incredible work.

3. Carson Wentz (Prev: 4)

Wentz isn’t the best player in the league, but he’s the frontrunner for MVP this year. The Eagles quarterback has totaled a league-high 28 touchdown passes against a measly five interceptions. Wentz is only completing 60.2 percent of his throws, but it’s been more than enough.

2. Drew Brees (Prev: 2)

Brees has been his masterful self, completing 71.3 percent of his throws while notching 3,029 yards. The Saints are 8-3 and leading the NFC South, helping give the future first-ballot Hall of Famer one more chance at a second Super Bowl ring.

1. Tom Brady (Prev: 1)

I say the same thing every week. Dude is 40 years old and leading the NFL with 3,374 passing yards to go with 26 touchdowns against three interceptions. Insane.
