Dan Pizzuta· Nov 6, 2024
Pizzuta ranks the NFL's 32 starting quarterbacks heading into Week 10 based on a combined skill and production score, with Lamar Jackson first and Bryce Young last. He also notes Cooper Rush is in line to start for Dallas over Trey Lance with Dak Prescott on injured reserve.
“Justin Herbert is clearly not the 24th-best quarterback, and that's not what these rankings are saying.”
