Rating NFL Quarterbacks: NFC South

    In this series, I am going to be rating quarterbacks by determining if they are underrated, overrated, or properly rated. I will be starting with the NFC South first so comment down below what division I should do next. Some teams will have multiple quarterbacks depending on how much playing time they got this year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Tom Brady

    This is a hard one to determine because people think highly of Tom Brady but it may be too high. He has been great this year but he has had one of the best offensive lines and he has so many weapons around him. I am going to say that he is slightly overrated just because if you give the offensive line to other quarterbacks, they can excel better than they are currently. Tom Brady is a great player and has been for many years now, but I do not rate him as high as other people rate him.

Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan

    Matt Ryan has been a good quarterback throughout his career and he has started to see signs of regression the past few years. He has led the Falcons to playoff appearances and even a Super Bowl (trying hard not to make a 28-3 joke). I do not think that people are that high on him and the way he is playing right now, that makes him properly rated. He has not been that special this year but I know he could still thrive in the right situation. That Super Bowl may continue to haunt him the rest of his life because I do not think he will make it back to one.

Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton

    Cam Newton was a good quarterback a few years ago, but he has just seemed to lose his spark. I know his offensive line is horrible, but he did not look that great in New England last year either. I think people still believe that he can be his old self but I do not see it. He has made some spectacular plays at times this season but it has all been with his legs. I am going to say that he is overrated at this point in his career after he has gone through multiple injuries that have probably affected the way he has played. He is just not the same as he was in his MVP season and people still look at him as that guy which he is not anymore.

Carolina Panthers: P.J. Walker

    P.J. Walker has seen very little playing time this season but he has not looked good when he has taken the field. He does not look like how he played in the XFL where he was the MVP while tearing it up with the Houston Roughnecks. I know that was a step down from the NFl but you should still see that spark a little in the NFL but it is not there. He has only thrown two touchdowns and eight interceptions in the last two seasons. People do not think that highly of Walker so that is why I am going to say he is properly rated. It is hard playing behind an offensive line that does not block.

Carolina Panthers: Sam Darnold

    Another hard one to determine because Sam Darnold has been up and down this year. He started off the year great leading the Panthers to a 3-0 start but that quickly went downhill. He played good in those first three games leading Panthers' fans to think that they might have found their next quarterback of the future. Again, with all three of the Panthers' quarterbacks, it is hard to play behind a horrible offensive line. I think Darnold does have the talent to be a starting quarterback in this league and not too many people agree with that so I am going to say he is slightly underrated.

New Orleans Saints: Jameis Winston

    I am just going to start off by saying Winston is underrated. Winston was good this year before his injury and only threw three interceptions. I think people remember him as the guy who threw 30 interceptions but that is going to happen when you are not in the right system and playing from behind all the time. I think once he gets back from injury and if the Saints give him another year, he will be a top 15 quarterback. He had the Saints sitting at a 5-2 record and now they have gone downhill without him. He can be a leader for this team and be a good quarterback.

New Orleans Saints: Trevor Siemian

    Trevor Siemian was the first quarterback to step in for the injured Winston and he played well. He did not lead the Saints to wins but that is not entirely his fault. I watched a few of his games and he was throwing the ball well and he had some great throws mixed in. Some people might not even know who he is but he is a solid quarterback that can be a borderline starter in the NFL. If not a starter, he is a really good backup that can step in and make plays for your team. That is why I am going to say he is underrated because most people think he is not good at all but that is not true.

New Orleans Saints: Taysom Hill

    Taysom Hill is properly rated because no one thinks he is the greatest or completely horrible which is exactly right. He is a good player that can win games for the Saints when their starter is out which is happening right now with Jameis Winston out because of injury. Taysom Hill is a great option for a backup quarterback but he is not a great option for a starter.
