Yes, there were just barely some quarterback rankings to share, but this set is different. Rather than one former quarterback ranking players himself, ESPN's Mike Sando compiled a list based on talking to a number of people in the NFL -- a total of 35 coaches and evaluators.
They were asked to place quarterbacks into five tiers -- Tier 1 being the best and Tier 5 being the worst.
Sando averaged the numbers and came up with the rankings. After being ranked 21st in 2014, well into Tier 3, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer's ranking took a leap.
