Going for Two: Quarterback Beauty Pageant Finals Part One

The Finals are upon us, and this means researching each of the 16 finalists to find out what they do offfield, which is a word that should probably be hyphenated, but I haven't done that yet, and I don't want to start now. So... yeah... I started the research by Googling Jay Cutler and learned that jaycutler.com/ is not the Bears' Quarterback's website. His website is jaycutlersix.com/, but it kind of sucks - don't get me wrong, it's for his diabetes charity and very inspirational, it's just really annoyingly laid out. I found good and bad things about him, then found that he invited the family of a murdered Chicago Bears fan to a Monday Night Football game, which was a pretty cool thing to do.

I'm don't blog about every finalist, since there are 16. It was enough to research them off Wikipedia to add to their Preliminary score. But briefly, two of the finalists didn't make the beach outing, so we took them out later and got a photo. At first, it was a little awkward, given the game two weeks ago, but they had a good time in the end.

At this point in the post, I am revealing the Quarterbacks that reached the finals, but had the lowest scores after the additional research. Congratulations, fellows, you did a great job this year, and you look great.

16. San Diego's Philip Rivers
15. The Rams' Case Keenum
14. New England's Tom Brady
13. Arizona's Carson Palmer

The next stage is to score the final 12 QBs based on their college photos. I managed to find a photo of each QB from his college days, without his helmet. This was sometimes near impossible, as evidenced by some of the photos found, but here they are, the rest of the top 16.

The only photo I could find was of Brees and teammates, so I edited them out, except for a hand, and put him in front of some trees.	Michigan State, blech. Cousins really doesn't know how to pick teams. At least it's not Ohio State.	Finding a representative photo of Dalton in college was near impossible.	Cutler started college at 15, apparently.
I'm pretty sure this is Eli. Another hard photo to find.	Believe it or not, that IS Cam Newton.	A-A-Ron hasn't aged a day. Not sure if that's good or bad.	The number is 11, and Smith went to Utah. I guess this is the right photo.
Loved him in Parks & Rec.	Maroon is a nice color.	I know very little about Tyrod Taylor, but he looks nice in orange.	Hello there, Russell.

After a full assessment, then a second assessment, the top ten were selected. Below are those that failed to make the cut after the second look. Congratulations, young men, on making it this far.

12. The Chicago Bears' own Jay Cutler
11. New York Giants' Eli Manning

Up next, we will review how the top ten look in their uniforms and then off the field before we crown Mr. NFL Quarterback 2015!
