Let's say you are running a team called the Jests and the only QB options available to you are the following list. The rest of your team is somewhere between average and below average. Who would you trust to lead your team for next season? This ignores contract status (even though all of these guys are dreadfully overpaid right now), as well as your draft status and just picking a college kid and running with him. I just want to know who you'd take FROM THIS LIST ONLY given their perceived talent level, experience, etc. to quarterback your team for a year.
We've heard a lot about the failures of Kaepernick in SF, the ups and downs of Dalton in Cincy, the mostly downs of the last two years of Eli, the mess Jay Cutler has turned into in Chicago, and the struggles of the Detroit offense under Stafford despite a ton of weapons there.
If it was me, I'd want them in this order.
1. Stafford - Megatron being out hasn't helped him, but at least he isn't a turnover factory like some of these guys.
2. Kaepernick - You'd have to gamble that he's just in a funk because the team is in a funk. Maybe a change of scenery helps his game. He's got the talent, but you have to wonder about his decision making.
3. Eli - His O-line has fallen apart and he has only one real weapon right now in Beckham.
4. Cutler - He's not anything great, but he's not so bad he needs to be benched.
5. Dalton - The most overrated guy in the league right now. The Bengals are winning despite him. He's got the lowest passer rating of the group. The Bengals have a very good running game and plenty of weapons in the passing game. The guys all above him on this list would kill to have Dalton's offense.
