Are you ready for yet another article from ESPN about the overall quality of the quarterback? Because I just wrote about one, but they already have another one up. This time, they go back through the common draft era and rank every team by quarterbacks’ weighted career approximate value (AV) over expectation, from Pro Football Reference. And this time, the Pittsburgh Steelers fare better. While they don’t crack the top five, they do get inside the top 10.
In fact, the team ranks sixth overall in the league, with the top three teams being the Patriots, the Chargers (who drafted Drew Brees and Eli Manning), and the Colts.
