Clayton: One elite quarterback in NFC North

**Marrdro** · 09-01-2011, 03:10 PM

Miss your afternoon caffeine jolt? ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton has offered you some late-afternoon adrenaline.

With 2011 being the Year of the Quarterback and all, Clayton produced a comprehensive ranking of 33 potential starting quarterbacks. He slotted one NFC North quarterback in the "elite" category and the rest in the dubiously titled "Chad Pennington Division."

Clayton's rankings, along with a comment or two from me, are below. First, the usual caveat: Rankings are for entertainment purposes only.

I'm surprised he thinks Joe Webb is the only elite QB in the NFCN.

LOL, I must be the only one who isn't completely happy with Webbs performance this offseason.

Sure he's made some fantastic runs, but he really hasn't impressed when it comes to throwing the ball.

I actually agree with you. His pure QBing skill set reminds of of our last failed QB experiment. Joe has more athletic ability though.

Atleast we've seen more of it on display. Gonna be interesting to watch the "Failed QB" "run" that offense come week one and the pun was intended.
