Ranking Each Draft's QBs: 2001 NFL Draft

Michael Vick #1 Overall to the Atlanta Falcons

Michael Vick, one of the most controversial players, was taken first overall in this draft. Whether or not you agree with his criminal record, you can't deny he's one of the best players in the NFL right now. Let's look into it:

Drew Brees #32 Overall to San Diego

Drew Brees was the 2nd QB off the board, but he fell to the second round. 35,000 yards and 235 TDs later, Brees is making people question why Vick was taken first.

Quincy Carter #53 Overall to the Dallas Cowboys

Quincy had an okay career with Dallas. He made the playoffs and added a bit of a spark to the Dallas Cowboys team. Let's see how much he helped.

Chris Weinke #106 Overall to Carolina

Weinke wasn't good for much more than being the joke that Chris Berman could never make on NFL Primetime. Chris "Touch My" Weinke had some pretty awful games, lets see.

20 GS
386/709 Comp/Att
54.4% Comp
3,904 Yards
15 TDs
26 INTs
62.2 QB Rating

Per Game:
19/35 54.4% 195 Yards .75 TDs 1.3 INTs

So let's look at the rankings here. This one isn't too hard, it's pretty much a two horse race.

1. Brees
2. Vick
3. Carter
4. Weinke

Brees has been much more consistent. Vick is definitely more of a threat at any given time, but Brees gives you the best chance to win. Carter and Weinke had short stints and had pretty bad stats. Part 3 Coming soon!!
