Since when does "great offense" mean ranking in the bottom half of the league four times and never ranking higher than 9th in the past decade? :confused:

Quote:

4. Matt Cassel, Kansas City Chiefs
Cassel led the Kansas City Chiefs to an AFC West division title and a playoff berth in 2010, however, posted a record of 4-5 as a starter in 2011, before suffering a season ending injury. Cassel threw for over 2,900 yards from 2008-2010, and has thrown single digit interceptions in the past two seasons, therefore if Cassel can stay healthy in 2012, Kansas City could be an AFC West contender.

Additionally, this season the team has two excellent receivers in Dwayne Bowe and Steve Breaston. Bowe has recorded 1,000 yards or more in three of his five seasons in the NFL, while also totaling 36 touchdowns over five seasons. Breaston recorded a 1,000-yard season in 2008, and has recorded 700 or more yards in the past three seasons.

2. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
In his first four seasons in the league, Joe Flacco has played in every regular season game and has thrown for 13,816 yards, and 80 touchdowns. Additionally, Flacco has led the Ravens to the playoffs in each of his four seasons as quarterback, going 5-4 while passing for 1,532 yards, and eight touchdowns.

Baltimore is known for turning out great offenses and defenses and the same will be true in 2012.

Fail. Cassel at 4 is probably worse than Flacco at 2.

I came in here just to copy and paste that same quote. That's a headscratcher.

Re: Interesting AFC QB rankings

I'd take any of the QB's 5-7 over the qb's 2-4. Is it supposed to be that way?

Re: Interesting AFC QB rankings

He got #1 right. After that, it went off the rails.

Re: Interesting AFC QB rankings

Yeah, it's interesting all right. Matt Cassell above Peyton Manning? LOL, even if he is with a new team, and I like Cassell. Joe Flacc(id-arm)o at No. 2? LOL again. C'Mon man!!

Re: Interesting AFC QB rankings

I know the AFC sucks for QB talent, but Flacco at #2?!? Roethlisberger and Rivers are clearly better than Flacco. Manning may be better if he returns remotely to his pre-injury form. Others are debatable, but I would put at least 1-2 more ahead of him.

Overall, the rankings suck.

Re: Interesting AFC QB rankings

Sancheeze at 12 with pretty much just 2 "haven't played a snap" rooks, a washed-up Carson Palmer (a little debatable) and Blaine Gabbart behind him is pretty accurate too. Beyond #1 and #12 up. Not much else I agree with.

Re: Interesting AFC QB rankings

Is that by any chance meant to be a fantasy ranking?

That would help explain his stress on the weapons a QB does or doesn't have available.
