Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers blew a 17-point lead last Sunday losing 34-23 to the Cincinnati Bengals. The loss marked Tampa Bay’s third in the last four games and the team’s eighth loss of the season which is the most for Brady in his Hall of Fame career. The 7-time Super Bowl champion turned the ball over 4 times in Sunday’s loss tying his career high with 2 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles–something he hasn’t done since 2011. In their first year under head coach Todd Bowles–who served as the team’s defensive coordinator the last three seasons–Tampa Bay has struggled to produce offensively. Through Week 15, the Buccaneers are scoring just 17.6 points per game. Over the last 2 seasons, the team averaged over 30 points per game.

In spite of it all, Tampa Bay leads the NFC South by one game over every other team in the division and hopes to make their 3rd straight playoff appearance since Brady joined the team.

Arizona Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals picked up their 4th straight loss on Sunday, falling 24-15 to the Denver Broncos. The Cardinals, who are already eliminated from playoff contention, will miss the postseason for the 3rd time in 4 seasons under head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The team lost its franchise QB Kyler Murray in Week 14 (torn ACL) and back up QB Colt McCoy exited this week’s loss after suffering a concussion early in the 3rd quarter. Third string QB Trace McSorley entered the game finishing 7-of-15 for a career-high 95 yards with 2 interceptions. McSorely has played in 7 games over his career and Sunday night’s matchup will be his first NFL start.

NFL quarterback rankings 2023: Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown ahead of upcoming NFL season

0 Comments

While the NFL is a league that is ever-changing, some things are set to stay the same in 2023 — like the revealing of Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown.

Last year’s list saw Josh Allen take his place atop the quarterback throne, with Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Los Angeles’ Justin Herbert not far behind at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. It was, however, Mahomes who would ultimately reign over all NFL quarterbacks at the end of the season, as the 27-year-old collected both the NFL MVP honors and his second Lombardi Trophy.

This NFL offseason, however, has brought some intriguing adjustments that are likely to shake up Simms’ rankings.

While some signal-callers such as Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson found their prolonged home with massive contract signings, others will be venturing to a new franchise in search of a fresh start. Aaron Rodgers‘ trade to the New York Jets is unquestionably the most staggering shift, but other quarterbacks on the move such as Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo cannot be forgotten.

And with three of the first four picks in the 2023 NFL Draft being spent on a quarterback, emerging talent will likely turn the tides for some franchises this upcoming season.
