QB Confidence Index

LOL. It's not power rankings. The writer is very clear about it.

Please remember, this is not a ranking of starting quarterbacks. Rather, it is a ranking of teams in order of which we believe have the most confidence in their quarterback situation as a whole. That means starter, backup situation, age, health history, plans for the future, etc. If you click ahead to your team and don't like what's written about it there, try to carve out some time to read the rest of the piece, for context. Otherwise, I'll see you on Twitter and try not to take it personally.


1. New Orleans Saints
While Drew Brees is knocking down all-time records, don't get distracted from his legitimate MVP case. The Saints' backup situation is solid, with Teddy Bridgewater sitting behind Brees and the extremely useful Taysom Hill looking like a guy who can do pretty much anything.

Short-term confidence: HIGH. There are 43 quarterbacks who have thrown at least one interception in the NFL in 2018. Brees is not one of them. His completion percentage is 77.3. His Total QBR ranks behind only Patrick Mahomes. The Saints have won five games in a row, Mark Ingram is back from suspension ... this battle station is fully operational.


Long-term confidence: MEDIUM-HIGH. Yeah, Brees turns 40 in January. But that didn't bother Tom Brady, and there's no reason to think Brees is ready to hang it up. He's said he wants to go year-to-year at this point, which is what keeps this out of the "high" range, but as long as he's there, expect the Saints to keep humming. Even if Brees were to retire after this year, the Saints would have first crack at signing Bridgewater before he hit free agency.
