Where are NFL analysts ranking Washington Commanders quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke?
Pro Football Talk’s and former NFL quarterback Chris Simms this week began unveiling his Top 40 quarterbacks for this upcoming season.
When asked regarding Washington’s Heinicke not yet appearing on his list when Simms unveiled 40-36 (he unveils them in ascending order beginning at No. 40), Simms assertively declared Heinicke had not yet appeared and he was not going to appear either.
Heinicke certainly had his ups and downs last season. It is fine that Heinicke was not ranked by Simms in his top 40. Yet, Heinicke had better seasons than Geno Smith and Drew Lock. Yet they are ranked by Simms (see list below).
Where is Carson Wentz ranked? Well, thus far he has not yet been named by Simms. Consequently, this indicates Wentz is going to be ranked somewhere in the top 20, as Simms has thus far ranked NFL quarterbacks (40-21).
Here are his rankings at the half-way point:
40. Drew Lock
39. Kenny Pickett
38. Teddy Bridgewater
37. Gardner Minshew
36. Tyrod Taylor
35. Davis Mills
34. Tyler Huntley
33. Geno Smith
32. Sam Darnold
