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

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?

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
