Who’s up for another listicle?
This one is Mike Sando’s “Quarterback Tiers” column, which he formerly wrote for ESPN before being one of a cast of thousands to join subscription publication The Athletic. Sando surveyed 55 unidentified NFL coaches and executives and had them place “all veteran starting quarterbacks into one of five tiers and then offering insights into their thinking.”
Tier 1 is for the best of the best, while Tier 5 is for the trash heap. There is no Tier-5 this year, so Tier 4 represents a mixture of the likes of Case Keenum, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh Rosen, and Josh Allen.
