He’s still a dynamic dual threat. He’s still the player who won those two MVP awards not all that long ago.A list like this is never going to fully capture QB value — it’s the most important position in sports, and the actual top-10 most important NFL players are probably 10 quarterbacks. Jackson certainly is among that bunch.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut instead, this list drops him down outside the top-50, which is crazy.MORE: Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson playing a funny game of chickenEven Jackson’s detractors would likely recognize this as an oversell.Sure, the list doesn’t really matter.
