1. Brady

2T. Rodgers, Brees

4. Roethlisberger

5. Rivers

6T. Romo, Ryan

8. Eli

I'm not counting guys like Peyton or Schaub who have had injuries, or people like Newton and Stafford that haven't had the years behind them like these other guys do...

Have you seen Romo and Ryan playoff performances? Rivers is on the decline and Ben has a top 5 D.

How could you argue for Romo but not Rivers?

I think they are both better than Eli.

Romo gets a bad wrap but he honestly isn't that bad. Yeah he definitely folds in crucial moments and that's why I said I disagreed with putting him over Eli. Just saying you could make the argument just based on stats that Romo is up there.

Rivers on the other hand... he was awful last year. Not bottom 5 Jimmy Clausen awful, but he did not play like he did in recent years(20 picks...)

The Giants still would have won if GB put up 5 TDs..

Not going to necessarily disagree because it's hard to argue about changed scenarios. I don't think the Giants would have put up 37 points with a Packers offense putting together complete drives and thus altering the time of possession.

If 20 interceptions this past season proved something about Rivers, what did 25 interceptions from Eli the previous season prove about him?

are we basing this off of careers now? I'm going off who is the better QB NOW(as in this season).

and FWIW, I'm pretty sure there is a youtube video that shows every one of Eli's interceptions last year. I hate pulling the tipped ball interception card, but holy poo his receivers accounted for so many picks. Hell, just in week one against us I remember there being like 3 tipped balls off the receivers hands for interceptions.

This is a good observation. Tipped interceptions, depending on the scenario, shouldn't be blamed on the QB.

It's just a hard argument to use because it happens to every QB. I just remember Eli's picks last year being on the receivers more often than not.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
