I heard you guys like lists…
ESPN continues their top-10 rankings of all positions within the Nationwide Soccer League — and at the moment’s listing is all about quarterbacks. There shouldn’t be any controversy right here, proper?
You resolve.
In response to the NFL executives, coaches and scouts polled, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa doesn’t rank as a top-10 passer within the NFL. In reality, he’s barely a top-15 quarterback in response to those that gave their opinions.
Tagovailoa checked in on the “Honorable Point out” listing because the 14th finest passer in Jeremy Fowler’s rankings — simply behind Brock Purdy, Jordan Love and Jalen Hurts, and one slot forward of Kirk Cousins.
ESPN’s top-10 seems like this:
Patrick Mahomes — Kansas Metropolis Chiefs
Joe Burrow — Cincinnati Bengals
Josh Allen — Buffalo Payments
Lamar Jackson — Baltimore Ravens
Matthew Stafford — Los Angeles Rams
Justin Herbert — Los Angeles Chargers
C.J. Stroud — Houston Texans
Aaron Rodgers — New York Jets
Jared Goff — Detroit Lions
Dak Prescott — Dallas Cowboys
Fowler has been doing these lists for just a few seasons now, and final 12 months, Tagovailoa ranked because the fifteenth finest quarterback in response to these polled. So, after a season during which the Dolphins’ signal-caller led the Nationwide Soccer League in passing yards and was chosen to his first Professional Bowl, he jumped a whopping one slot.
Whereas the Miami Dolphins and Tagovailoa’s representatives proceed to barter a long-term extension for the 26-year-old, Fowler’s listing — once more, as voted on by NFL executives, coaches and scouts — could give common supervisor Chris Grier and his workforce some ammunition to supply much less cash than different quarterbacks who’ve gotten massive time offers not too long ago.
