Here at the Ultimate Football Blog, we are devoted to giving you as much information on the game of football as we possibly can. With the 2014 NFL season in the rear-view window and the start of the 2015 season beginning on March 10th, it's time to go back and see which players were the best and worst of the 2014 season before we officially move forward.
These final positional rankings are designed to look at every important aspect on the field for a specific position. It may be a little overwhelming, but it's also a nice guide to help you potentially win an argument with a fellow sports nut over which player is actually better.
First up? The most important position on the field. The quarterbacks.
PS: In eligible to be ranked on these lists, players must have played at least 500 snaps in the 2014 NFL season.
