Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and current ESPN NFL analyst Ron Jaworski is running his annual "Jaws QB Countdown" where he ranks every starting quarterback in the league from 32 to 1. Current Bengals signal-caller, QB Andy Dalton ranked 18th.
Here's the entire list so far:
9) Russell Wilson - Seattle Seahawks
10) Joe Flacco - Baltimore Ravens
11) Eli Manning - New York Giants
12) Tony Romo - Dallas Cowboys
13) Colin Kaepernick - San Francisco 49ers
14) Cam Newton - Carolina Panthers
15) Nick Foles - Philadelphia Eagles
16) Matthew Stafford - Detroit Lions
17) Alex Smith - Kansas City Chiefs
18) Andy Dalton - Cincinnati Bengals
19) Jay Cutler - Chicago Bears
20) Carson Palmer - Arizona Cardinals
21) Robert Griffin III - Washington Redskins
22) Matt Schaub - Oakland Raiders
23) Ryan Tannehill - Miami Dolphins
24) Sam Bradford - St. Louis Rams
25) Josh McCown - Tampa Bay Buccaneers
26) Brian Hoyer - Cleveland Browns
27) Chad Henne - Jacksonville Jaguars
28) E.J. Manuel - Buffalo Bills
29) Jake Locker - Tennessee Titans
30) Geno Smith - New York Jets
31) Ryan Fitzpatrick - Houston Texans
32) Matt Cassel - Minnesota Vikings
This certainly isn't the first preseason positional ranking of quarterbacks.
Anthony touched on Andy Dalton being in a tie for the 19th-best QB by ESPN.
Needless to say, 18th is one of the higher rankings for Dalton. That's mostly due to the fact he's 0-3 in the playoffs. If he could have just gotten one postseason win to this point, he'd likely be at least ahead of the Chiefs' Alex Smith and Lions' Matthew Stafford. Smith is 1-2 in the playoffs, while Stafford is 0-1.
