Listen below to an excerpt from our weekly Check Down radio broadcast, which streams live on Tuesday mornings at 8:00 on 91.1 WSPN and Instagram Live (@CheckDownSports).
0:00 What to make of ESPN’s “Quarterback Confidence Index?”
1:20 Should Philadelphia (with Wentz and Foles) be ranked #1? Fronte says yes
2:35 Questionable to rank Russell Wilson and Seattle ahead of Drew Brees and New Orleans?
5:20 Mando says Ben Roethlisberger deserves to be #9 — “his best days are clearly behind him”
7:25 The most egregious mistake is undoubtedly Eli Manning and the Giants ranked #13 — Mando: “How the hell are they ahead of Alex Smith and Redskins, Marcus Mariota and Titans, and, most glaringly, Jared Goff and Rams?”
14:45 Mando ranks the top quarterbacks in the NFL based on who he would want most to lead his team next season
- Tom Brady, New England
- Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay
- Carson Wentz, Philadelphia
- Drew Brees, New Orleans
- Russell Wilson, Seattle
- Matt Ryan, Atlanta
- Matthew Stafford, Detroit
- Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh
- Jared Goff, Los Angeles
- Dak Prescott, Dallas (although you could certainly insert Cam Newton or Philip Rivers in this slot)
