20. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

  • Average ranking: 20
  • Highest ranking: 19

Joe Burrow was ranked right around 20th in all of our rankings, with his highest ranking being 19th and his lowest being 22nd. Burrow has all the traits to have a very successful rookie season and if he starts his career with a bang will already be in the mix for the top 10.

19. Jared Goff, Los Angeles Rams

  • Average ranking: 20
  • Highest ranking: 15

Jared Goff is a curious quarterback as he always seems to put up massive numbers but lacks that it factor to win the game on his own. He is as good as the weapons are around him and he has played well enough to make it to a Super Bowl, he is just not someone who is going to win many games for his team with his impact.

18. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

  • Average ranking: 19.5
  • Highest ranking: 15

Despite missing all of 2019 with an arm injury, the Bolt Beat staff still projects Big Ben to be in the top 20 in 2020. He is definitely not the same Big Ben that he was even three years ago and this has the potential to plummet and plummet fast.

17. Philip Rivers, Indianapolis Colts

  • Average ranking: 18.3
  • Highest ranking: 14

The former LA Chargers quarterback comes in right below the league median on this list and that is a fair place to put him. While he was bad last season, he should do much better in 2020 behind the best offensive line in the league with some decent weapons still around him.

16. Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns

  • Average ranking: 18
  • Highest ranking: 13

Realistically speaking, numbers 19 through 16 on this list are all gunslinging quarterbacks — does that prove the inefficiency of the gunslinging offense?

Baker Mayfield has so much potential and he has been better than the other quarterbacks taken high in his draft class (not named Lamar Jackson) but he has been a slight disappointment with the weapons he has around him. With another coaching change in 2020, hopefully, Baker can make that step into the top 10.
