NFL quarterback rankings, Week 13: Philip Rivers shows out
Jeff Blake Division
25. Josh McCown (LW: NA)
McCown is holding the place of Sam Darnold until he returns from a foot injury that has caused him to miss two games. The 38-year-old is a solid backup and below-average starter, but the perfect player for Darnold to learn from in his rookie year.
24. Derek Carr (LW: 21)
Carr is fascinating in terms of his future. Are the Raiders going to move on from him and start fresh come 2019, or will he stay and be part of the move to Las Vegas? At this juncture, Carr seems broken under Jon Gruden, who has allowed him to be sacked 35 times behind a horrible line.
23. Jameis Winston (LW: 24)
Winston finally played a game where he didn’t turn the ball over, smoking the 49ers by a 27-9 count. Unless Winston starts playing fantastic ball over the last month of the season, it appears his days in Tampa Bay are numbered with a new coaching staff on the way.
22. Eli Manning (LW: 22)
Manning couldn’t move the ball when it counted against Philadelphia, sealing New York’s fate for another campaign. The Giants scored 19 points on the back of Saquon Barkley in the first half and then went into the fetal position, blowing a 16-point lead.
21. Ryan Tannehill (LW: NA)
The Dolphins were tied with the Colts at 24-24, with 3:34 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was third and 10 at their own 6-yard line. Adam Gase called a draw. He has no faith in Tannehill.
