So I was listening to ESPN's The Herd show today where they had a guest host who brought up a very interesting topic today and I figured I'd share their thoughts and get your own opinions. Now the host had the top 5 right with the exception of the oder and their reasoning behind them.
Their order and reasoning were summerized as follows:
5) Matt Ryan. Needs to show that he is a leader. His interception in the playoffs leaves them doubt but he has the makeup.
My opinion: That analysis makes no sense to me. Everyone will make a mistake here and there, that doesn't dictate if he is a leader or not.
4) Sam Bradford: He has the makeup but it's only been one year.
My opinion: I agree with theit analysis about the one year thing, but the analysis becomes extremely hypocritical as we move on in the list.
3) Matt Stafford: He is having a great preseason.
My opinion: I don't see how anyone can build a case for him based off a preseason, espescially after discrediting Bradfor for only doing it one year. Stafford has done less in less time. Stafford has a huge arm and lots of talent but I had hoped they would be consistent in their train of thought.
2) Aaron Rodgers: He's not Josh Johnson (QB1, yeah, they didn't get the name right)That's all they gave as to their reasoning behind ranking him number 2.
1) Josh Freeman: (They called him Josh Johnson the entire time until the end of their analysis and realized they meant Josh Freeman) Josh Johnson is a man. He's huge and when I met him in studio he was a very nice guy. Very charismatic. Has the it factor.
My opinion: While I like Freeman a lot I was taken back by them apparently playing favorites and not playing true to their own rules. Kind of hypocritical since, again Freeman has really only done it a year. I don't think I would put him at the head of the list because he's "huge" and "a really nice guy".
My list goes as follows:
5)Freeman. (picks 5-2 are all interchangable)
4)Stafford: I adore him but he just needs to be healthy a full year.
3)Ryan: Everything you want in a QB.
2)Bradford: Like Ryan, but I think Bradford is a tad bit more special.
1)Rodgers. He's dynamic, can run, can win.
I'm not taking college QB's into consideration.
So, let's get your thoughts.
