Ron Jaworski: Full NFL Quarterback Rankings

I have never been a fan of Tony Romo and don’t think he deserves to be ranked in the top ten, but here he is at number nine. Romo did have a nice year in 2014 with 34 touchdowns and only nine interceptions. He led the Boys to an NFC East title for the first time since 2009 and they advanced to the divisional round, nearly defeating the Packers in the “Dez Caught It” game.
Philip Rivers, also known as Crybaby Rivers in Kansas City, has led the Bolts to two consecutive 9-7 seasons. Last season the Chargers were kept out of the playoffs by the Chiefs (lolololol), but Rivers should be able to keep the Chargers in contention for a playoff spot in 2015. He’s a solid quarterback, and believe me, I HATE admitting that.
Big Ben Roethlisberger threw for a career high 4,952 passing yards with 32 touchdowns and only nine touchdowns. He’s always been a reliable guy under center for the Steelers. Don’t expect that to change in 2015.
Drew Brees’ Saints didn’t have a great time in 2014, going 7-9 and looking horrendous in the Super Dome, a place where they once excelled. Some say Brees is declining, but I say bull crap. He’s getting older, but is still easily one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Watch him make a star out of whatever tight end ends up starting.
