Ranking The NFL Quarterbacks

NFL Top Ten Uniforms, With the NFL season quickly approaching, I figured it would be a good time to break down and compare the top 32 starting quarterbacks in the league. And what better way to do so than through a list.

Now just for clarification, I\'m ranking the starting quarterbacks of each team with a few exceptions. I will still include injured players like Josh Freeman and Donovan McNabb despite the fact that both might not be able to play in Week 1. Sam Bradford will also be on this list because we all know that, at very least, he will be the starter at some point this year.

So here we go:

#32: Matt Leinart/Derek Anderson - Arizona NFL Top Ten Uniforms Cardinals: While we await the Cardinals\' decision of who will be the starting quarterback come week 1, in my opinion, it doesn\'t really matter. Matt Leinart plays in slow motion while Derek Anderson is about as erratic as it gets at the quarterback position. Whoever ends up under center for this team is a massive drop off from Kurt Warner and deserves to be ranked 32nd out of the 32 starting quarterbacks.

#31: Alex Smith - San Francisco 49ers: The former number one overall pick has dealt with a lot during his time in San Fran - injuries, demotions, several offensive coordinators, and a severe lack of talent in his own body. While he does make the occasional great throw, it isn\'t enough for me to put him in the top 30. CAN\'T DO IT!!!

#30: Matt Moore - Carolina Panthers: The Panthers appear to be biding their time with Matt Moore until they feel comfortable playing Jimmy Clausen. They wouldn\'t have drafted Clausen with their first pick (even though it was in the middle of the second round) if they weren\'t planning on giving Clausen the keys to the car as soon as he\'s ready to drive. Moore doesn\'t really stand out in any way. He\'s got okay arm strength, okay accuracy, okay coverage recognition skills etc...But he isn\'t the Panthers\' long-term solution at quarterback. Clausen is.

#29: Trent Edwards - Buffalo Bills: Trent Edwards hasn\'t been the model of consistency so far in his NFL career. However, he does have some positive traits. Namely, he has a compact delivery and throws a nice long ball (he throws it high so it drops into the receiver\'s hands at an angle that is very tough for the DB to get to). However, he doesn\'t seem to have the ability to find the open receiver if his primary read is covered. You can just see it when you watch him on Sundays. If he isn\'t ready to throw the ball at NFL Top Ten Uniforms the top of his drop and there is any NFL Top Ten Uniforms indecision, he starts to panic (the top of a QB\'s drop is when the primary read receiver should be coming out of his break). This ultimately gets him in trouble on way too many occasions.

#28: Josh Freeman - Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Josh Freeman shows a lot of potential as a young QB. He has a relatively strong arm, and surprisingly, he has some ability to make plays outside the pocket when the play breaks down. But similar to many young quarterbacks, his coverage recognition and decision-making both need to be faster. If he can improve this part of his game significantly in 2010, you could find him cracking the top 20 quarterbacks by the end of this season.
