For the last couple of years, ESPN has been running a “Quarterback Confidence Index” in which it attempts to gauge more than just which quarterback is best or which teams should be the most optimistic. As Dan Graziano notes in the most recent rankings, released this week, “This is a ranking of teams based on how confident those teams are in their quarterback situation as a whole. That means it includes the reliability of the backup situation, the injury history (recent and otherwise) of the starter, the long-term plan at the position.”
