Who Are The Top 10 Qbs In The Nfl Right Now?


Carl Spackler

Recommended Posts

Well, who would you go with when listing the 10 best as of today? This means you're getting present-day Peyton Manning, not Peyton with more rest in September.

I'd go with:

1) Aaron Rodgers

2) Eli Manning

3) Drew Brees

4) Tom Brady

5) Cam Newton

6) Philip Rivers

7) Ben Roethlisberger

8) Matthew Stafford

9) Peyton Manning

10) Michael Vick

Couple of reasons: Peyton might be the best ever, but I'm kind of hedging my bets. I'm nervous about how he can hold up at his age. Denver's OL had better block well, that's all I'm saying. Rodgers gets my top vote though really he's 1A and Eli is 1B. I've hated on Eli since 2002 but he made me a believer last season. Hopefully by the time 2013 rolls around, everyone - not just Panther fans - will have Ace Boogie #1.

What say ye?

Eli over Brady? Come on now....

Cam over Big Ben?

Yeah man. Right now. I like Brady more than Eli but at this juncture, I think Elisha has leapfrogged him. And yeah give me Cam over Ben. Ben has a defense and can afford to go 13-24 165 yds 1 TD 1 INT. Cam does that and we'd probably lose 31-14. At least last season.

I'm not sure I agree with what you've got there. Just because Eli won the Super Bowl doesn't bump him up above the elite statistical players:

1. Drew Brees (Yes Rodgers had the better QBR, but Brees threw the ball 150 more times and STILL had a better completion percentage. Rodgers would've thrown more picks if he'd thrown 650 passes too. Brees overall had the better season IMO)

2. Aaron Rodgers

3. Tom Brady

4. Eli Manning

5. Ben Roethlisberger

6. Tony Romo

7. Matthew Stafford

8. Philip Rivers

9. Cam Newton

10. Michael Vick

Wanna see how Peyton plays before he gets on the list.

Brees threw the ball 150 more time than Rodgers an had 1 more passing TD. That isn't good. Rodgers still had more overall TDs than Brees in less time on the field

Do you want to go into strength of schedule and the caliber of defenses both teams played against? Is it really necessary? Because like I already said, difference of opinion, both sides have evidence. Just give it a rest and move on.

I was a bit surprised to see Romo on a list.

If you look at Romo's season, he had a fantastic statistical year the best of his career, but once again Dallas was poorly coached, full of injuries, and had a mediocre team. Romo get's no attention for how good he really is because his team consistently sucks, but he is one of the most consistent QBs in the league.

Dallas needs to learn how to build around him.

I'm not a Brees lover or Romo lover or anything at all...Panthers fan for life and #1 is far and beyond my favorite player and QB in the league. I'm just saying who I think had the best seasons last year.

Cam has played one season. ONE SEASON.

A 6-10 one at that. Premature much? I love Cam but jesus christ. Calm down.

How could someone in their right mind rate Cam above Big Ben and Peyton Manning. What the fug?

Big Ben isn't THAT good, and Cam just had the best rookie season of all time with no signs of slowing down and he is still the most dynamic qb in the nfl, I fail to see why we cannot list him in the top 10?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
