Alex Smith ahead of Newton, Ryan and Stafford is laughable.
What has Newton, Ryan, and Stafford proven? Just asking. Ryan maybe has won 1 playoff game. I don't think Stafford or Newton has.
Newton won a playoff game last year. He's passed for over 3,000 yards every year, including 4,000+ his rookie season. He's also thrown 82 TD's and only 54 INT's with an average QBR of 85 in his four seasons. He has rushed for over 500 yards every season.
Ryan has had an average QBR of over 90 in his career and can actually throw the ball down the field.
Stafford has thrown for over 4,000 yards the past three seasons and threw for over 5,000 four seasons ago. He's clearly better than Smith.
