Which QBs have the most help? Ranking all 32 NFL supporting casts
The problem with quarterback rankings is they often don’t allow for context.
Football is the ultimate team game, but so often we boil things down to the QBs while ignoring the pieces around them. Even the best quarterbacks need guys to block, catch and run the ball.
