The top five of our QB rankings has been impenetrable this year.
But now three outsiders — Russell Wilson Nick Foles, and Tony Romo — are threatening to crack in.
Our rating is a composite of three advanced stats: defense-adjusted yards (DYAR), total QB rating (QBR), and win probability added (WPA). Each stat accounts for one-third of the rating.
UNRANKED: Matt McGloin, Oakland Raiders*
Team record: 4-6
Thing to know: The Raiders have spent $21.5 million and four draft picks on QBs since 2011.
*Not enough data to create a ranking.
31. Geno Smith, New York Jets (previously 28th)
Team record: 5-5
DYAR: 43rd
QBR: 39th
WPA: 35th
Thing to know: Uh oh, people are now comparing his stats to Mark Sanchez's.
30. Chad Henne, Jacksonville Jaguars (previously 27th)
Team record: 1-9
DYAR: 38th
QBR: 38th
WPA: 30th
Thing to know: Cecil Shorts is now complaining about how little Henne is throwing to him.
