Let’s Rank The Quarterbacks Because Jalen Ramsey Is Too Afraid To

Sorry Jalen.

As the upcoming NFL season goes hollering into labor longform profiles are published on star players like its Entertainment Weekly. Like this one on J.J. Watt where he details his summer offseason squalor and solitude like he’s Bon Iver or something. Or this one on Alvin Kamara where he admits he doesn’t like mushy foods, he’s so mysterious. Or this one on Jalen Ramsey, no, not that one where he claims he could be a professional hockey player, but this one when he discusses quarterbacks.

Josh Allen? Trash. Joe Flacco? Sucks. Jimmy Garoppolo? Didn’t beat us. Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Marcus Mariota, Tyrod Taylor? Don’t suck. Jared Goff? Average. Dak Prescott, Derek Carr, Russell Wilson? Good. Kirk Cousins? Winner. Eli Manning? Odell is good. Big Ben? Ain’t all that. Blake Bortles? Does what needs to do. Nick Foles? Good enough to win a Superbowl. Drew Brees? Really good. Andrew Luck? Probably not good. Philip Rivers? Pretty good. Matt Ryan? Overrated.

The Jaguars saw their entire offense decimated by injuries and fell from 10-6 and the AFC Title game to 5-11, and lost to Josh Allen, Ben Roethlisberger, and Andrew Luck, quarterbacks that aren’t good. Their offense will be back to health this year. The pass defense should bounce back. Good enough to win a Superbowl Nick Foles is now their quarterback. The Jaguars are set to compete again after last year’s season from hell, but on this trip around the sun Ramsey has super glue for lip gloss, and isn’t talking about quarterbacks.

This time of year, when nothing is going on, when the league completely stops for summer vacations until training camps begin, is the best time to rank quarterbacks. I’m disappointed in Ramsey. I wanted more. I wanted him to feel bad for Deshaun Watson, say Ryan Tannehill is going to take over in Tennessee, call Josh Allen an electric display of youth but still trash, and plead for Dwayne Haskins to not wear the number 7 inside that ancient burial ground. I wouldn’t go so far to call him a coward, but I am disappointed.

Since Ramsey won’t talk about quarterbacks and rank them I will. There’s zero science here. There’s no film clips. It’s all feelings and memories that should be murdered.
