Rank the new young QB's (2010-2012 draft)
The other young qb thread is ranking guys from 08 and 09. I thought we should rank qb's from the 2010-2012 draft, aka new young qb's.
I count 13 QB's from the 2010-2012 draft that have started a good number of games for their team recently. Rank them from 1-13 and comment on who you think are viable long-term QB's, and the guys who are going to get benched/cut soon.
Probably wouldn't be fair to rank young QB's from these drafts that haven't/aren't/won't be playing, such as- Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, John Skelton, Ryan Mallett, Brock Osweiler, and Terrelle Pryor. Some won't start meaningful games again, and a few may get a chance and fail or not, but its simpler to leave them out.
For reference, the QB's are
2010- Sam Bradford
2011- Cam Newton, Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder, Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick
2012- Andrew Luck, RG3, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden (despite age, he was drafted and a 1st rounder so he should count for now), Russell Wilson, Nick Foles
Use any criteria you want- better next year, long-term future, etc.
Tier 1- franchise QB's
1- RG3 (if healthy)
2- Luck
3- Kaepernick
4- Newton
5- Wilson
Tier 2- solid guys who need to prove more to be franchise QB's (not just stats)
6- Dalton
7- Tannehill
8- Bradford
Tier 3- all guys who won't be long-term starters
9- Ponder
10- Foles
11- Weeden
12- Locker
13- Gabbert
