Can you believe this garbage? Jordan Love just got ranked No. 72 in the NFL Top 100 list. Then ESPN straight-up left him off their top 10 quarterback list entirely, giving Caleb Williams the nod at #10 instead. Seriously, what are we even doing here in July? This is just the national media trying to drum up controversy before training camp even starts.
The NFL Top 100 List Is a Popularity Contest, and Love Got Robbed
So, the NFL’s "Top 100" came out, and guess what? Love is chilling at No. 72. This list is literally voted on by players, making it more of a popularity contest than anything objective. It's designed to generate debate, clicks, and posts. And you know who’s ticked off about it? Micah Parsons. He’s not happy about where his friend landed on the list, and honestly, who can blame him?ESPN's QB Rankings Are Just Plain Wrong
But the NFL’s list is just the start. ESPN’s analysts have been dropping their top ten position rankings, and today it was QBs. Love didn't even crack the top 10! They put Caleb Williams at #10 over Love, saying it was because Williams is "harder to defend." What kind of "objective" analysis is that for a tiebreaker? Compiled from rankings of individual football writers, their methodology is questionable and feels arbitrary, just another slap in the face to Love. Look, these lists are pure clickbait, but there's one thing we can look forward to. Micah Parsons is gonna be back on the field in Week 5. I bet he takes all that frustration about Love's rankings out on Williams. That's a game I'm actually ready for.This article was created with AI assistance and reviewed by Seattle On Tap editorial staff. Always verify information with official team sources.
