NFL quarterback rankings, Week 3: Show respect to Josh Allen
Carson Wentz. Scouting Report. QB. Philadelphia Eagles. 24. player. 54. Pick Analysis
2020 stats: 512 yards | 58.8 completion % | 2 TDs | 4 INTs | 6.0 YPA | 27.9 QBR
Last Week: 16
Wentz has been awful. If the rankings were solely based on this year, he might be at the bottom. Philadelphia isn’t a patient town, and Wentz is causing plenty of talk-radio angst. Last week against the Los Angeles Rams, Wentz only attempted nine passes of 11+ air yards out of 42 throws, and still managed two interceptions.
Teddy Bridgewater. 23. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Carolina Panthers. 87
2020 stats: 636 yards | 72.4 completion % | 1 TDs | 2 INTs | 8.4 YPA | 57.9 QBR
Last Week: 24
Bridgewater darkened the sky on Sunday in Tampa Bay, throwing for 367 yards. He’s come into Carolina and done a nice job, albeit with some struggles in the red zone. The veteran only has one touchdown. With Christian McCaffrey potentially out of month, the Panthers need even more.
Pick Analysis. QB. Cincinnati Bengals. player. 56. Scouting Report. Joe Burrow. 22
2020 stats: 509 yards | 61.9 completion % | 3 TDs | 1 INTs | 5.2 YPA | 49.2 QBR
Last Week: 22
Forget the stats with Burrow. He’s playing with no offensive line and a non-existent running game despite a talented back in Joe Mixon. Watching the No. 1 overall pick, he has a great presence and a feel for the pocket, along with good mobility and accuracy. He’s going to be a star.
Minnesota Vikings. 21. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Kirk Cousins. 60
2020 stats: 372 yards | 58.8 completion % | 2 TDs | 4 INTs | 7.3 YPA | 30.0 QBR
Last Week: 13
What the hell happened in Indianapolis? Cousins was atrocious against an average Colts defense, throwing for 113 yards while completing 11-of-26 throws. Sometimes, there’s no need for deep analysis. Cousins was awful.
Philip Rivers. 20. player. 46. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. QB. Indianapolis Colts
2020 stats: 577 yards | 77.5 completion % | 2 TDs | 3 INTs | 8.1 YPA | 46.0 QBR
Last Week: 23
Rivers is a confounding study. He’s completing more than three-quarters of his throws, has a solid YPA, and yet can’t stop throwing red-one interceptions. And yet, that’s been Rivers for years, so why change now? He’s incredibly talented and incredibly frustrating.
Pick Analysis. Detroit Lions. 50. Scouting Report. QB. Matthew Stafford. 19. player
2020 stats: 541 yards | 58.7 completion % | 3 TDs | 2 INTs | 7.2 YPA | 53.8 QBR
Last Week: 14
Stafford hasn’t been good. In consecutive weeks — both against division rivals — he’s thrown brutal second-half interceptions. In Green Bay, it was essentially a game-ending pick-six. The Lions aren’t good, and Stafford might be playing his final year in Detroit.
