.Who's the smartest quarterback in the NFL?It's a question ready for debate one of supporters along with experts on the sports talk shows. Yet our company wished to get the solution directly coming from the people in the most effective placement to know: actual NFL quarterbacks.As aspect of FOX Sports' Quarterback Confidential, which our experts'll turn out completely on Thursday, we surveyed 38 NFL QBs anonymously in the course of training camp and also the preseason. The very first concern our experts inquired was actually easy: Who's the most intelligent quarterback of all? Some QBs could possibly respond to based upon original expertise, some depended on well-earned credibilities, yet after a few seconds to presume, almost all used zealous actions. Within this case, what's very most exciting may be who didn't appear among the top vote-getters. (A lot more on that particular later.) The winner? One of the most knowledgeable quarterback in the league today, Aaron Rodgers, that at grow older 40 will certainly attempt once again to renew the New York Jets after skipping mostly all of last season along with a torn Achilles ligament. He is actually a Super Dish champ and also a four-time organization MVP, so it might not be astonishing he gained the vote. Rodgers was called by 15 of our quarterback participants." Our experts bet him my novice year, and also it was therefore amazing," one QB claimed. "You will listen to tales about his intelligence as well as his method of finding and also knowing the game. But to observe it personally, the way he ran, just hand signs ... his entire operation was smooth and also tranquil, like he would certainly done it a million opportunities. I suggest, he has." A near 2nd with 12 ballots was the Rams' Matthew Stafford, currently 36 and also entering his 16th time. Stafford's smarts are renowned sufficient that one young quarterback still remembers his Wonderlic score from 2009. The QB recalled Stafford racking up a 39, however actually it was merely a 38-- which is still superior for any type of non-Ryan Fitzpatrick passer." Exactly how he relocates individuals around the area, as well as his understanding of everything happening at one time," one quarterback mentioned of Stafford." The way he can easily readjust on the fly, only enjoying him play live, he has a great taste of all the intricacies of the position," pointed out another.Another quarterback, certainly not understanding the final results of our board, properly examined the top pair of, keeping in mind a fundamental difference in what makes each terrific." It's in between Matthew Stafford and also Aaron Rodgers," he explained. "Aaron accomplishes this much freestyling, however Matthew within the system is extremely good." The Falcons' Kirk Cousins was actually a far-off third along with three ballots. In total amount, eight quarterbacks were called, consisting of a lot younger gamers like the Packers' Jordan Love and the 49ers' Brock Purdy.What's probably very most unexpected is that the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes-- he of the three Super Bowl succeeds and three Super Bowl MVPs-- was actually named by only one quarterback." I understand what type of offense he manages, as well as the play phone calls are actually fairly long," that QB claimed. "What he does is actually fairly exceptional." It is actually achievable that quarterbacks connect the Chiefs' offending wizardry more to move trainer as well as playcaller Andy Reid-- even more on that particular Tuesday. Mahomes possibly will have controlled if the concern were "That's the very best quarterback?" however we desired to delve a little much deeper along with our concern. Our experts'll possess much more superlatives this week as we unveil the end results of our survey. For now, listed below are the ultimate numbers on the organization's most intelligent quarterback: Aaron Rodgers 15Matthew Stafford 12Kirk Cousins 3Jordan Love 1Patrick Mahomes 1Dak Prescott 1Brock Purdy 1Russell WIlson 1( 3 QBs declined to answer.)
