2017 QB Projection Rankings 6-10
10. Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Say you're an NFL quarterback and you have one of the best wide receivers in the game and you have one of the best running backs in the game and tell you what you also have a fantastic offensive line. How would you feel being an NFL quarterback with all those pieces standing right in front of you? Well Ben Roethlisberger has all those pieces standing right in front of him. The Steelers offense is one of the best offenses in the game right now and they got even better this offseason by getting Martavis Bryant back, drafting JuJu Smith-Schuster and signing Justin Hunter. All these weapons as well as the offensive line is going to make Ben Roethlisberger look good. But the fact that Big Ben almost considering retirement is scary and you just wonder if this will be his last season because he is getting older and doesn't seem to look younger. Big Benjamin Roethlisberger is projected to be ranked 10th going into this season because all of the big time weapons he has around him. For some reason though I feel like Ben is playing this season because he is doing it for the fans and not himself. Hopefully I'm wrong though. If he had a more of a desire to win championships like Tom Brady does he would probably be projected to be rank higher going into this season.
9. Marcus Mariota (Tennessee Titans)
Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans were so close to making the playoffs last season. They finished 9-7 and won four of their last five games. We have seen a lot of the teams in the past finish 9-7 and find a way to get a Wild Card spot or even win their division with that record. This will be his third season in the NFL and I think he realizes that he is now capable to win in the NFL. With the additions of Eric Decker this offseason and drafting Corey Davis in the NFL Draft this gives Mariota some very good weapons. He also has DeMarco Murray behind him which is good cause Mariota knows he has a legit running back that can produce. If Mariota looks at all the other AFC South teams going into this season he would know that his team is in the best position to win the division. That's why he is projected to be ranked 9th going into this season because he realizes his team can win their division and he knows he is going to make it happen.
8. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints)
This might be the last year Drew Brees might be playing in the NFL and if it is he's going to treasure this season. With all of the stats and records Drew has produced he is most likely going into the Hall of Fame. I don't think Drew's team can make the playoffs because the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are both better than the Saints and both of those teams are seriously both on missions to win the division. Since Drew has been on the Saints he has been able to work with any type offense the Saints organization has given to him. He did lose a very good wide receiver in Brandin Cooks this offseason but he still has other weapons Drew can make use of like Willie Snead IV, Ted Ginn Jr. and Michael Thomas. Drew is projected to be ranked 8th going into this season because it might be his last and we all expect him to BALL OUT!
7. Eli Manning (New York Giants)
Eli Manning has started and played every game since 2005. He has to be one of the healthiest NFL quarterbacks to ever play. Eli is realizing that he might have only 3 years left in his career and needs to make the best out of them. Eli is also realizing if he wins one more Super Bowl that he is definitely going into the Hall Of Fame and that he can finally realize that he is better than his brother Peyton Manning. Eli Manning has two of the best wide receivers in the game in Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall. He also has another pretty good wide receiver in Sterling Shepard. With the offense he has and a pretty good defense this team can honestly win the division and go pretty far in the playoffs. Eli is projected to be ranked 7th going into this season because of the high power offense he has and has a good chance of winning his division the NFC East.
6. Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys)
No doubt that the Dallas have a chance to win the NFC East again this year but it's going to take more work this year with the New York Giants looking like their on a mission. In his rookie season last season we saw that Dak doesn't mind pressure because he did so good when he knew darn good that the whole NFL world was watching him play since he plays on America's Team. He played on National Television 6 times last season and he is expected to play on National Television at least 12 times this season. I expect him to play well again this season no matter if Ezekiel Elliott gets suspended or not and with all the pressure Dak is going to face again this season that he can handle he is projected to be ranked 6th going into this season.
