Defensive adjustments would push Rodgers, Kaepernick, and (to a lesser extent) Wilson higher up the chart due to solid post season play.

And the closest stat to RANY/A is QB Points Above Average (QB PAA) per action play.

Below is all regular season and postseason since 2008 — 2008 is nice because we can look at Rodgers as well (first year as regular starter). When you look at it, its not all that dissimilar to the list above, but some players move dramatically, most notable Kaepernick and Luck. Cream of the Crop – clear franchise guys are Kap, Ryan, Wilson, and Luck. Foles, RGIII, Cam, and Stafford are could-be Franchise quarterbacks. Flacco, Dalton, Alex Smith, and Tannehill are bubble guys. Bradford is a bust — an expensive bust. Peyton has been a .1004 QBPAA/p guy since 2008, Brees 0.0708, Brady 0.0601, Rivers 0.0422.
