I'll have to think about for the future.
Wow.
They've looked good sure, but Wentz and Dak over Luck? C'mon man. If Luck had any semblance of an offensive line he'd be Top 5 easily, probably even Top 3.
I like Dak and Wentz...don't get me wrong...but the hype is a little much at this point.
Well, I know Luck would look better with a better OL, so that plays a part, but Wentz has been nearly perfect. Zero interceptions and undefeated. That can't be ignored.
It's really hard to judge Luck after last year, which I thought was just a down year due mostly to injury. But being a mobile QB, it seems like he should be doing better.
But seriously, I think after the top two, their is a HUGE group of second tier QBs and they kind of alternate. I know I have Rivers high which may seem homerish, but he has a ton of yards, has his top 2 receivers out, many OL out (they played like 8 OL last week) and then he still has a 7-1 int ratio and is like 4th or 5th in passer rating.
As for Dak, the OL helps a ton, but still, I don't think he's thrown an int either. Luck should probably be higher, and between about 7 and 14, I think they are all very close at this point.
I really dissected the #s though, including passer rating, td/int ratio and yards per attempt. I mean, look at this and start with passer rating, then look at td/int, and then yards per attempt (which helps Dalton a bit).
