The voting panel for our third annual NFL QB Tier Rankings consisted of 42 league insiders -- 10 general managers, five head coaches, seven offensive coordinators, five defensive coordinators, eight personnel evaluators and seven other position coaches/executives.?I polled coaches and evaluators on 33 QBs, asking them to place each player into one of five tiers, with Tier 1 reserved for the very best and Tier 5 reserved for the very worst:Tier 1: Can carry his team each week. Team wins because of him. Tier 2: Can carry team sometimes but not as consistently. Tier 3: Legit starter but needs heavy run game/defense to win. Tier 4: Might not want this guy starting all 16 games. Tier 5: Do not think this guy should be starting.In the end, we averaged the tier rankings for each quarterback to produce a 1-33 ranking across four tiers (no starting QBs received enough Tier 5 votes to fall into the fifth tier), and gave the insiders anonymity so they could speak candidly.?Here are the 2016 NFL QB Tier Rankings, with a full voting breakdown at the bottom of the article. We start with two players who received unanimous Tier 1 status for the second consecutive year.Tier 1 | Tier 2?| Tier 3 | Tier 4TIER 1 (3 QBs TOTAL)T-1. Tom Brady | New England PatriotsAvg. rating: 1.00 | Change in rating:?0% |?2015 rank: T-1Brady opened last season with 22 TD passes and only two interceptions during the Patriots 8-0 start. The TD-INT ratio dipped to 14-5 the rest of the way as New England lost top wide receiver Julian Edelman while becoming desperate enough at running back to bring Steven Jackson out of semi-retirement at age 32. Its tough finding league insiders who see significant decline in Brady, but speak to enough of them and youll run across a few.He is going to be a 2 probably this year, but Id say right now he is a 1, an offensive coordinator said. I see him starting to slide a little bit physically. The thing that stands out to me is, the accuracy of his throws has really decreased. [Rob] Gronkowski and his receivers are making these unbelievable catches, ones that are low, that are outside, to make these plays.Others thought Brady was actually improving by leveraging a growing knowledge base, finding new ways to beat defenses. A different offensive coordinator said he thought Brady worked through issues that affected him a couple years ago as he modified his throwing motion. This coordinator thought Brady had regained accuracy as a result.Yeah, he is pretty old, but does he look old to you when he plays? one GM asked. He is in complete and utter control of everything, and that is a 1 to me. And he can still throw the hell out of the ball. When he starts throwing like Peyton Manning threw last season, then Ill say, Well, he should be lower. Yeezy Powerphase Sale . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead.

Its not easy to find a weakness in Roger Federer, who is seeking an eighth Wimbledon title and an 18th Grand Slam triumph. Lets keep this between ourselves for now, but the Wimbledon Diary thinks it might have done just that.So far during The Championships, Federer has been successful with just 12.5 percent of his Hawk-Eye challenges, with just one correct query from the eight times he has called upon the technology. Contrast with his quarterfinal opponent, Croatias Marin Cilic, who has a hit-rate of 61.5 percent during the tournament to date, with eight correct challenges from 13 attempts. Of the eight men left in the singles draw, only one has a lower percentage than Federer -- thats Frenchman Lucas Pouille, who was wrong with all six of his, so is lingering on zero.In Novak Djokovics absence, Andy Murray is the highest seed left in the tournament, but he could also do some work on this part of his game -- he has been successful with 23.1 per cent of his challenges, with three from 13. The overall average for the mens singles so far is 30 percent, with the same number in the womens event, too.Golden Bear spotted in SW19Jack Nicklaus, who has been in the Royal Box for the past couple of days, is more than just a tennis fan. The golfer, who won 18 majors, has previously played some small part in tennis history --- the Williams sisters have been known to practice in the grounds of his Florida home.dddddddddddd Nicklaus has three grass courts in his back garden.Serena aces the numbers gameAside from 22, which is how many Grand Slams Serena Williams will have if she lifts the Venus Rosewater Dish on Saturday, theres one number that fascinates her coach Patrick Mouratoglou. That number is 102, which is how many aces Williams served during the 2012 Championships. That was the first Grand Slam that we won together and she served at a higher level than I think anyone in the history of the sport, the Frenchman told the Wimbledon Diary. She served more aces in that tournament than any woman or man -- and you have to remember that the men would have been playing over five sets. Thats crazy. Her serve is just a huge weapon on grass.Passing the Wimbledon smell testUsed tennis balls can be bought from a kiosk outside Centre Court. No doubt a few tennis fans will be sniffing the Slazenger balls before using them at their local courts. Thats inspired by Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova, a quarterfinalist in the womens singles, who successfully identified a ball from each of the four Grand Slams on smell alone. ' ' '
