We’ve been talking about the new ESPN rankings of NFL players by position and specifically how Seattle Seahawks players have fared. Today, we come to quarterbacks. On one level, this is pretty simple. I’ll end the immediate mystery right up front. Sam Darnold did not get any love. No top ten. No honorable mention. Not even the Miss Congeniality recognition of “others receiving votes” (ORV).
Was this fair? Yes and no. We can quibble about this, and trust me, we will. But there’s a much bigger takeaway from the QB rankings than the evaluation of one particular player.
