 When you get to this certain point in life, when you realize that not everything is for everybody, then I promise you, I guarantee you, you will have so much more peace. Somebody tells me, I ain't graven. Your videos suck, they're terrible. I don't like them at all. Okay, cool. Well, hey, anybody that feels that way, that's fine. I appreciate the fact that you took time out of your day to check it out. But hey, if it's not for you, then it's not for you. That's fine. Okay, cool. Move on. Me personally, I don't like the restaurant Bollet. My wife loves it, Carter loves it, but I just do not like it at all. It's not for me. Tried it a couple of times, wasn't feeling it. What'd I do? Whenever we go there? Well, they get food, but I don't get anything. I just go get something from somewhere else. Simple. But when it comes to the NFL and quarterbacks, everything is not for everybody. Not every quarterback is for everybody. Not everybody views quarterbacks the same way. And that's what makes looking at a lot of these lists so fun. Even though your question, a lot of people's reason why, but hey, it's people's reason why. So it is what it is. Not everybody's gonna have the same way of thinking. And that's fine. ESPN, who we all love and adore. They did a top 10 QB list. Now of course, last week we reviewed Colin Cowher's top 10 QB lists and Lamar Jackson was nowhere to be found. But in this, in ESPN's top 10 QB list, we got to run it back because Lamar Jackson was nowhere to be found. And again, Lamar Jackson is not everybody's cup of tea for whatever reason. But let's just, let's look at this list and see what they talking about and see who they talking about and who they put in to leave Lamar out. So here's how our process worked. Voters gave us their best 10 players at a position, then we compiled the results and ranked candidates based on number of top 10 votes, composite average, hundreds of interviews, research and film study help from ESPN NFL analyst Matt Bowen and total more than 50 voters submitted a ballot on at least one position. And in many cases, all positions. We had several ties. So we broke them with the help of additional voting and follow up calls with our rankers. Each section is packed with quotes and nuggets from the voters on every guy, even the honorable mentions. The objective is to identify the best players right now for 2022. This is not a five year projection or an achievement award. Who are the best players today? Pretty simple. So that's where this list is coming from. ESPN, their top 10 QBs and let's have at it. Number one, Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is a four time NFL MVP and he just won it again last year. So okay, cool, Aaron Rodgers number one. All right, cool. Who's number two? Patrick Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes course Super Bowl champion, former NFL MVP. He obviously been killing it since he's been starting, has made so many different crazy plays. And Patrick Mahomes is a baller. No matter how you feel about him, dislike, I know a lot of Ravens fans cause the Chiefs have been beating us for so long. They ain't like Patrick Mahomes, but he is a baller now. A good comparison real quick. I know it's kind of like a side note. But I think my guy, Spinny, yeah. He had talked about this during the NBA finals. He was like, man, Steph Curry is so much like him and Patrick Mahomes are so much alike. And then I looked at that, I was like, wow, they really are because they can do anything. They can do so, they have so much talent. They do all this crazy stuff. They change the game and whatever league they're in, Steph with NBA, Patrick Mahomes, NFL, they just make a lot of crazy plays. But when stuff is not going their way, boy, 10 boys know how to pout. They sure know how to pout. But anyway, and we sort of found it. But anyway, number three, Joshua Allen. Josh Allen, another baller. And it's always funny looking back, especially over this past week, looking back in the 2018 NFL Draft. If so many people could redo the draft then obviously Josh Allen would have went a lot higher than he did, especially if people could see the future. But hey, people can't. Number four, Thomas Brady. I gotta hit up Skip Bayless to find out his middle name again. But anyway, Tom Brady is at number four on the top 10 QBs right here right now. We of course know of his past accomplishments but even his recent accomplishment. He is a recent Super Bowl champion and he still put up nice numbers. The numbers are still there and he got a very nice cast around him. He has had a very nice cast around him for several years and the Bucks are like, hey, we going all in for Utah. We know what you could do. We were making it to where you have no excuses. We got your back. So good job by the buck in this. Number five, Joseph Burrow. Now, Mr. Joseph Burrow made his way to the Super Bowl in his very first year starting in the league last year. And him as well, what's around him is just, it's a beautiful thing because it makes his job that much easier. And now with Joe Burrow moving forward we're gonna see how he does with his same weapons and then a little bit of upgrades here and there. With Dayton Hurst over Uzama, but then upgraded offensive line. So we're gonna see how he does. If he does even better, if he does the same, if he does worse, we're gonna see how he does moving forward. I expect him to still keep balling. He's still gonna be a problem. He got a lot of heart, but Joseph Burrow's a number five. Number six, Matthew Stafford, Joseph Burrow's competition. And they actually have Joseph Burrow ranked over Matthew Stafford. But anyway, Matthew Stafford, Super Bowl champion now. Spent plenty of years with the Detroit Lions, putting up all those gaudy stats, but just had nothing to show for it. Then the Rams are like, hey, we like to go all in, but we like to push the chips all in every year. Let's go get Matthew Stafford. Let's go save him. Let's go rescue him. A lot of people made them Super Bowl favorites when they made that move and boom, look what they did. They won a Super Bowl. So Matthew Stafford and now he has Alan Robinson, Cooper Cupps back, Van Jefferson, he's back again as well. So we'll see how they do moving forward. And I know they've been talking about possibly Odell Beckham Jr. going back, but ain't nothing happened yet. Odell Beckham Jr. has not been signed by anybody. And we know he will be more of a future guy, but anyway. Number seven, Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert, he is a baller. He broke Baker Mayfield and Peyton Manning's previous, the records held by them for most touchdown passes by a rookie. He has put up some very beautiful numbers stat wise, not win-wise yet, but stat wise. And yeah, he puts up the pretty numbers, but the team has just not had the overall success, even with the beautiful numbers that he puts up. Number eight, Russell Wilson. newest Denver Bronco, and now he's in a good situation where they actually have an offensive line. He has a Jerry Judy, shout out to Jerry Judy, by the way, super nice dude, Sutton, Patrick, he got some guys over there and Phant too. But yeah, he got a nice cast around him. And Russell Wilson, previous Super Bowl champion. And he's somebody, he wanna throw that ball. He wants to throw that ball. The run game, he cool with it, but he really wanna be letting that thing go. So, what's he like with the Broncos? I think he'll do well, and I think they'll be in a playoffs, but they, tough division. Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos and Chargers, oof, you're a tough division. Number nine, we haven't seen him play in two years, last time we saw him play was two years ago. Yeah, cause we didn't see him play last year. So, we haven't seen him play in two years. But he's a top 10 quarterback. That's Mr. Deshaun Watson. Cleveland Browns, newest quarterback. We'll see if he plays for the Browns this year, based off of the NFL and their history and their lack of consistency. I would say that he probably plays, but we'll see, cause you just never know. But anyway, now Deshaun Watson, he's somebody else too. Put up a lot of beautiful numbers. Let the league in passing yards a couple of years ago, but just didn't translate to ends. Now him, his supporting cast was not pretty, even just based off of offense alone, it was not pretty. But he still made it happen numbers wise. They just, they weren't winning Texans or just, y'all know the story with the Texans, but Deshaun Watson is at number nine and the number 10 to close it out, Cowboys on Dak Prescott. And Dak Prescott is another one. Shannon Sharp always be getting on Dak Prescott, talking about the empty calories, how Dak Prescott always had so many passing yards, good amount of passing touchdowns, but Shannon Sharp always talk about that. That's because they be behind, because of Dak Prescott. But with Dak Prescott, he ain't about quarterback at all. You know, he not bad. And he got some nice weapons around him. He's had some nice weapons around him too. And just really everywhere on that offense. So it's just a matter of him, not only putting it together numbers wise, but win wise too. They are in a division where they have just been, not necessarily that it's easy or that it's been easy, but NFC East is like, ooh, some people call it the NFC easy, but. Anyway, shout out to Dak Prescott. So that's our top 10 list. And these are all the guys that made it over one Lamar Jackson. Now, a funny stat that somebody pointed out, Warren Sharp. He said, Lamar Jackson had his team number one seed in the AFC in early December. He did, he did. Despite being the number one most injured team in history, it probably worked, it probably worked. Ranked number one in the NFL, throwing outside the numbers. I didn't even know about that one. I knew he could throw outside the numbers because so many people try to say he can't throw outside the numbers. And then they'd be like, oh. But I didn't know that he had ranked at one point, number one at throwing outside the numbers. I didn't know that. Didn't I know that? I know he was number one in like deep, deep, his deep ball targets, like the, I forgot how to word it. But anyway, and was top 10 in the NFL in rush yards, went healthy. That's a stat that is cool. But that stat, and I remember too, when Lamar Jackson was in the top 10 in Russian yards, it shows you just how much they need him to do everything. He has to do everything. That's why I always say, and Ben's saying, give him a blank check. Give him literally whatever he wants. I don't want to hear nothing else because this dude has to do everything. I'm surprised he ain't throwing passes to himself and catching them too. He got to do everything. And this ain't nothing new. This ain't nothing new. Like you take away Lamar Jackson's rush yards that he's had over the past couple of years. That's right, even his Russian offense. Yeah, ain't gonna be the same. It's not. But anyway, and he said, and after his injury, Baltimore went on five. Yeah, when Lamar went down, whole team went down. They live and die by Lamar, obviously. And that just, it shows you how important he is to this team. There are other teams when, and obviously you're starting quarterback, you're starting quarterback for a reason. So that's the guy who everything runs through, obviously, but there are other teams who, if they lost their starting quarterback, they will not be hurting, not nearly as much as the Baltimore Ravens would be. Simply because what's around that starting quarterback as well. See, it's not all about the quarterback. It's about what's around him too, but we're not gonna talk about that right now because y'all know what good all day. But again, just to review what Warren Shaw said, he said, Lamar Jackson had his team number one, Stephen AFC in early December, despite being the number one most injured team in history, ranked number one in NFL is throwing outside the numbers and was top 10 in the NFL and rush yards and after injury Baltimore went on five, but he's not a top 10 quarterback. Then he put a little laugh and emoji on the end of that too. So again, not everything is for everybody.
