Very accurate top 4 but everything about #5 is gunna get a lot of negative feedback. Vick is nowhere near a top 15 QB.
While we're making new lists. 1. Peyton Manning 2. Tom Brady Brady is hardly a system quarterback, but he is an outstanding quarterback who happens to play under one of the best coaches ever. If you switched their places, I don't think the success of the teams would be much different than it is now, with the exception that maybe Manning's Patriots would've been more dominant on offense. 3. Carson Palmer One of only two other QB who I would classify as "elite", but still not good enough to overtake Brady. His statistics aren't that superior to the Dreamboat's, not enough to outweigh the success Brady has had. 4. Drew Brees Three consecutive outstanding seasons in a row, including one that revived the Saints franchise and brought them to the cusp of the Super Bowl. He's the real deal. 5. Donovan McNabb I don't like him, but when he's on, he's scary. Suffered some bad injuries the last two seasons, and if it happens again next year I'd bump him off. As of right now, however, he gets the benefit of the doubt. Snubs? -Marc Bulger The people who harp on how underrated he is seem to overrate him. No doubt one of the most solid in the NFL, but not the kind of game changer the people I have rated above him can be. Another season like 2006, however, and I'll have a change of heart. -Matt Hasselbeck Proven tough guy, but 2005 was his only great season. In other words, he's very good, but not top 5. Future? -Phillip Rivers I want to see what he does with more responsibility before I even consider it. -Eli Manning A few less picks and a few more points on his completion % and his numbers look like Hasselbeck's career average. Still not top 5 quality, but you never know. Just look at how awful Drew Brees' first two season were, it makes Eli look great. Learn to step into your throws, bitch. - Matt Leinart & Jay Cutler Not much more to say about these guys, they just have very bright futures ahead of them.
Ok, I need to update my ugly list. 1. Brady 2. Manning 3. Bulger 4. Brees 5. Palmer QB of the Future - Alex Smith
tough to do just 5...so i did 20 1. manning 2. brady 3. brees 4. mcnabb 5. palmer-this guy has won 0 playoff games and been once...no way thats top 4 6. rivers-with LT he will win alot...and not have to do much 7. mcnair- he is old, but he still wins...until that stops i'd keep him here 8. pennington- in terms of talent he may be last, but in leadership and meaning everything to his team...he is #8 9. v. young- this guy has his team behind him...(something vick lost) which makes him dangerous until he loses that 10. tony romo- i think the dallas d was more to blame...a bit high on the list 11. hasselbeck- this guy looked terrible all last season....i think he needs time to recover from some injuries 12. marc bulger- some people have this guy top 5...but this guy does so much less with so much talent...he doesnt even win...you can count on a cardinals and 49ers loss every year 13. favre 14. vick- i think we forget how dangerous he was...and could still be....i hate vick, but he has been to the nfc championship and won a few playoff games give him a defense and tell him not to pass...and you can win 9 games 15. grossman- terrible qb, but there is worse 16. roethlisberger- only b/c he has a ring i put him here...batch should have started 17. cutler 18. trent green- this guy needs to retire and soon...he is the new bledsoe/warner 19. leinart 20. eli manning- this guy needs to work on his mechanics...single handedly losing games drops him on my list
Well, Palmer has been surrounded by how much bullshit in Cincinnati? I give him a pass there. The Pennington comment is just sad. You can't be 8th if you think he's last in terms of talent. You're the only person rating Romo that high. He was a breath of fresh air in Dallas, but he's nothing more than average to above-average. Bulger is easily a top 5 QB based on talent/leadership, it's not his fault his defense fails at life. Roethlisberger is rated right, but your reasoning isn't right. He just walked into a great system.
i agree with the comments... in terms of chad, i guess i should consider being smart a skill... the guy is a game manager and one of the best...thats why i rank him so high...but i admit i have a blind love of pennington as for romo...i agree that he is average, but both him a vy have their teams believing in them i didnt understand the big ben response...i think roethlisberger is terrible and won b/c of the system... as for bulger...he is a top 5 fantasy qb...but he needs to win in spite of his bad defense
1.Brady-Did it this year with a bunch of cast-offs. It's not as if Philly and San Diego were loaded with receiving talent, and they both dumped the guys that STARTED down the stretch in New England. Also, he's a REAL Super Bowl MVP. 2.Manning- The best guy not named Brady, but Rex Grossman was the MVP of that Super Bowl...for the Colts. 3.Brees- Consistently puts up gaudy numbers with maximum efficiency. He is in no way physically gifted, but he makes it work. 4.Palmer- In college this guy looked like the next Vinny Testaverde. Up until his final season, he was a mentally incompetent guy with the physical tools to make it work. Since then, he has blossomed into the total package. 5.Hasselbeck- When he's hot, he's better than anyone. He had a rough go this year, but he should bounce back when everyone is healthy. Anyone putting McNabb in the top 5 has to be joking. I like McNabb, but when Jeff Garcia and AJ Feely can step in and put up similar numbers, his value is questionable. Roethlisberger had a nice run last season, but this season exposed him as mistake prone, and there are rumors that he's not the hardest working guy out there, and with a Super Bowl already under his belt, it's going to be hard to change that. -X-
My Top 5 QB's as of 2/8/2007 1) Tom Brady 2) Peyton Manning 3) Donovan McNabb 4) Carson Palmer 5) Drew Brees QB of the Future: Matt Leinart
1) Manning 1A) Brady (Big gap......) 3) Carson Palmer 4) Drew Brees 5) Toss up between Hasselbeck Mcnabb and Bulger (I'd take McNabb, but his injuries are scary)
Now that they're all drafted in the current draft, here's my top 10 of right now (doesn't mean they'll be the same in 2 years): 1. Peyton Manning 2. Tom Brady 3. Drew Brees 4. Carson Palmer 5. Matt Hasselbeck 6. Mark Bulger 7. Philip Rivers 8. Vince Young 9. Donovan McNabb 10. Actually... he's not taken yet
