QBs 30 and under: Power Rankings top 20

RG3 should be ahead of Kaep at this point imo.

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Andrew Luck
3. Ben Roethlisberger
4. Colin Kaepernick

6. Matt Ryan
7. Russell Wilson
8. Cam Newton
9. Matthew Stafford

13. Alex Smith
14. Jay Cutler
15. Sam Bradford
16. Jake Locker
17. Ryan Tannehill
18. Nick Foles
19. Christian Ponder
20. Ryan Fitzpatrick

really, people HAVE GOT to stop overrating Kap. Over RG3? Really?

Ruseel Wilson is too high and is definitely not better than Cam. Dalton >> Freeman/Flacco. Jake Locker should barely be above Fitz

Aside from the obvious homerism, I guess I just like that CK is so much bigger and stronger than RGIII with seemingly the same upside in all other areas and currently a higher QBR. I like some of your input. New list!

Well I put it together in 5 minutes. After consideration I agreed with your points. Of course there are some guys in the lower half of the list I haven't seen many plays from. Not claiming to be a scout, just dinkin around.

Rodgers, Big Ben, Ryan, Luck, RG3, Dalton, Kaep would be my top 7. Not high on Cam, never was, too much hype IMO.

I think if you take out Dalton, you've got the 6 with superstar potential (including the ones who have already arrived, of course). I think you're a bit high on Dalton. Despite a fluke Pro Bowl berth as a rookie, people around the league already seem to think of him in the Alex Smith mold of not having top 10 QB upside. I think Wilson has already shown us more "clutch" factor, leadership, and raw physical tools than Dalton.

Cam can go either way, I'll give you that. His stock has gone up the last three weeks.

kaep is to high

If Luck is ahead of RG3 then you are a homer.

I will admit that the thing that allows me to homerly rationalize putting him over guys like Ryan and Stafford is that he has had less chance to look bad so far. Maybe I should give those guys more respect for their proven huge numbers, but it seems like Kaep might be more likely to lead a good team to a title than either of those inconsistent choke artists.

I meant to ask, is this in order? Do you actually think Matt Ryan is going to have a better career than Andrew Luck?

What makes you think he's high???? is it his tattoos????

lol is this serious? Culter at 14? O_o Kaep ahead of RG3, and Luck ahead of a 2 time SB winner. delete this troll thread pls.
