We all know who the number one quarterback is, and with out a doubt it's Tom Brady. No questions asked. He's led an offense of "unknown" talent into some of the best receiving threats in the NFL, such as Wes Welker, Rob Gronkrowski, and Aaron Hernandez. He ran a quick style offense that wasn't shut down once during the whole season, expect in the Super Bowl. His controlled attitude and the ability to make throws late into the game rank him number 1.
As for the Bills, they had quite an up and down season. Ryan Fitzpatrick was playing some great football, and was considered top 5 during the the first 4 weeks of the season. Then it kind of changed, they played a couple of away games, and thanks to the Dolphins the injury of Fred Jackson, who was putting up a bid for MVP honors. Later into the season, Fitz struggled with completions and late game drives which made them quickly out of playoff contentions, and also led the league in interceptions at 23.
The Jets, led by quarterback Mark Sanchez. Struggled through out the year. Some maybe already consider him a bust, but the reason why he has held his position is because of the back to back AFC championship games ( in which they both lost). His accuracy at times can be horrendous and which causes some of the losses for this team. Obviously, with a great amount of bad passes also leads to more interceptions with 18 on the year, but not as much as Fitzpatrick's 23. Also, resulting in a 8-8 record with playoff hopes gone, and ended their streak of the past two years making it.
Now comes Matt Moore, the Dolphins quarterback. A lot of people could say he played "OK" with his beginning struggles, but as a starter midway through the season he looked pretty good to me. I understand is first couple of losses resulting in not really knowing the starting receivers yet, that's understandable. But, the games where he went on a 3 game win streak really impressed me, having a quarterback rating of 147.5, 75.2, and 133.3. Not only that but he threw 6 touchdowns to 1 interception in that stretch. I think he has the tools to be a great quarterback for the Miami Dolphins and could turn this team around.
