I'm going to give more weight to playoff performance:
  1. Mahomes
  2. Allen
  3. Burrow
  4. Jackson
  5. Rodgers
  6. Stafford
  7. Stroud
  8. Purdy
  9. Hurts
  10. Herbert
I'm a bit on the fence about Tua, Dak, and Cousins. I could imagine any of them being in the top 10.
I don't quite believe in Love or Goff.
If we get a few entries and come to a rough consensus on 10 even if we all don't agree on order, it would be fun to guess at what the list will look like end of next year. I would say Brock cracks the top 5 and maybe you see a resurgence from Rodgers, Cousins or Herbert.
reply
I feel like Brock is so hard to evaluate, because he has the best weapons in the league and a great offensive scheme. It's obvious he's good, but I don't know if he'd be better or worse than Cousins if they swapped teams. It might just be that Jimmy G was much worse than anyone realized.
reply
Brock is great. His only drawback is he is small so he gets passes tipped a lot more than bigger QBs. If the 49ers actually got a good OLine for him he would be a top 5 QB. Even Andy Reid was praising how well he reads the field and his timing. He has only played 1.5 seasons and didn't have a proper offseason last year because he was rehabbing. Shanahan trusts him. I think this year they are going to throw more. They burned out CMC, he was still great but he was wearing down come playoff time. I think they will use CMC less and throw more.
That being said. I think you could put Cousins, Stafford or Stroud into 49ers offense and get a similar result.
reply
I didn't include Rodgers because he did not play last year. I don't know if he has a leg to stand on. Haha.
Dak had an incredible year. He just sucked against the 49ers and in the playoffs otherwise he might have been the best QB in the league. I couldn't decide between Tua and Love for 10 but I gave the edge to Love due to TD/INT ratio.
Hurts and Herbert are interesting ones. I feel like both should be up there and this time next year either could be sitting at 5 but right now I don't like them in the top 10. Cousins I also discounted because he was hurt and we don't know if he has a leg to stand on either.
reply
I'm just not ever going to be scared of Dak. I know he puts up good numbers, but I'd rather face him than all those other guys.

Speaking of rankings. It looks like not much movement in the MSM rankings the past couple days. I think we are at the point where other than subtle changes everything is locked in. It's like the end of the baseball season when a guy has 500 plus at bats and four at bats in a game doesn't move the needle anymore.
You think we are pretty much locked in now or do you think there will be a late surge and jockeying for position at the end?
reply
Darth jumped up to 4th this morning. He had been behind me. I think that must mean that there's not much separation between all of us between about 4th and 8th.
reply
If that's the case then there will definitely be some jockeying as we get to the end. April 1st can't come soon enough. Haha. I have probably spent 50% more time than usual on SN and am going to likely get around 20% less rewards. I don't want to make it about the rewards. It shouldn't be about that. That's not why I came to SN and why I spend so much time on the site but it feels off.
Looking at the list, there are some really good stackers that are only going to get a few thousand sats in rewards. I have to imagine that's a huge drop for some of them just so one person can get a million sats. I like the idea but I definitely think it needs some tweaks for next year.
reply
kr mentioned that zapping has been up this month, so maybe that's balancing out the lower rewards for people. I hope it is.
reply
Yes, hopefully that is the case. I also don't like the idea we aren't going to know who won. I respect your right to hide yourself but I don't think you should be eligible for the top 10.
reply
I think we can have pretty high confidence that siggy won. On top of all his regular activity, he has by far the top post of the month.
In a big game I would take any of these guys over Dak. In a mid season game against the Commanders. Look out. Dak is gonna throw 450 yards and 5 TDs.
Haha. As much as I like to rag on Dak he did have a really good year last year.
