4) DA/quinn

why add troy smith? osu fan or emphasizing how bad our qb situation? if it's the latter, add charlie batch too, lol.

Is Dixon healthy ?

are u a browns fan?

why do u feel the need to make this thread? u know good and well all of us are gonna rank ALL of our QBs on the roster at the lower end... so whats the point..

we are 0-3 and u wanna ask a kick in the dirt question like this?

lol...

1) Big Ben
2) Palmer
3) Flaco(he has more potential then both of them..but i think as far as winning rings Big Ben will always have the lead...)

thats it...you said QBs in AFC north right? yah thats all that comes to mind. The browns don't have QBs

1. Quinn
2. Ratliff
3. D.A
4. Palmer
5. Flacco
6. Rothlisburger


Worst to First

You guys got it all wrong.

1.) Derrick Anderson. He has a big arm.
2.) Brady Quinn. What a smart, pretty-looking game manager type with no accuracy.
3.) Bartel. He was better than Ratliff who got his roster spot for being a Jet only...
4.) Ehh, the rest just are too stable and can actually move a professional football teams offense. They can't be better than what we have. impossible.

We're terrible at QB.

1. Palmer
2. Ben
3. Flacco
4.
5.
6.
7.

10....

21. Casey Hampton
22. DA
23. BQ

How would you Rank the AFC North QBs

I wouldn't because it's a stupid exercise whose only purpose is to mock our QBs...

I'm going to try to turn this thread into an intelligent debate about football, and not just a bash our QBs thread.

Assuming that our QBs leave a lot to be desired, I'm going to stick with analyzing the other three QBs in our division.

Big Ben

I have no idea how he's going to last through the season. He holds on to the ball so long that he gets crushed a lot. But, the guy just plain performs (which I can't stand). His pump fakes are great and he is tough to bring down. He just extends plays, and his WRs are good enough to work with him when he gets outside the pocket. He's the kind of QB that when he's in the game for your team, you feel like he's going to make a big play for you. Yeah, he might take a few sacks, but I think his pros greatly outweigh his cons.

Carson Palmer

I think Palmer is the absolute prototype for a QB. The guy has great mechanics, a great arm, and is a smart player. I think his play has regressed a bit these past couple years, but he's had to battle injuries and the fact that he plays for Cincinnati. But, when he turns it on like he did this past game against Pittsburgh, he's downright tough. He's a true no. 1 QB.

Flacco

It's tough for me to really put him with the other 2 for no other reason than that he hasn't been around long enough. What I have seen is pretty impressive. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes and he has good size and a good arm. It must be nice to know that you have that defense backing you up. I think they'd be even more dangerous if he had a true no. 1 WR to throw to. The guys they have are good, but imagine him with a guy like Calvin Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald, or Boldin, or even a BE who can stretch defenses.

Overall, I think I'd take Palmer, Big Ben, Flacco in that order. But, that's a really tight race. Any given Sunday, that order could shift.

1. Roethlisberger
2. Flacco
3. Palmer
4. Batch
5. J O'Sullivan
6. Troy Smith
7.Dennis Dixon
8.Jordan Palmer
9. John Beck
10. Cribbs
11. Big Dawg
12. Otto Graham
13. Ratliff
T14. Quinn/DA

Maybe the better way to start this thread would have been to title it "How would you rank the OTHER AFC North QBs"
