Fair enough. But I don't think he's got it anymore.

I think you are massively overreacting to a few bad games esp. considering the rest of his career. It's not like he just turned 40 or is coming off a major injury or something.

1. Peyton
2. Brady
3. Mcnab
4. Rothleisberger
5. Eli( he's pretty good now and going to be awesome next year)
6. Palmer
7. Culpepper
8. Vick (
9. Leftwich
10. Green

Holy Moly. One guy has Harrington on his list. Another has Jeff George. You guys are nuts. I'm assuming the first was a joke?

Glad you said it. And you are suggesting that stuff like that isn't worthy of being on the list? It's at least worthy of clarification. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I too like this list. Actually, I like the top 8 you have listed there. Roethlisberger and Delhomme could probably be substituted with many of the "extras" you have listed there on any given day. In fact, I would probably move Collins up and move one of these two down.

Some people may be shocked that I wouldn't include Roethlistberger in the top 8, me being a Steeler fan and all. If you go by winning percentage and leadership, then he's right there near the top. But, I think his winning percent is in large part a function of the team he plays for. I think if he were on a different team that does not rely so much on the run, things might be different for him. He makes good decisions and is a leader but some of the others listed below may have more talent.

Well, he's only played 17 games, but his career yards/attempt is a ridiculous 9.3--Peyton Manning's y/a last year was 9.2 and he had way more offensive talent than Roethlisberger. I do not doubt that he is one of the top QBs in the NFL.

Brees is underrated in this thread, he has been extremely productive over the last two years.

I'd rank the top QBs:

1. Peyton Manning
2. Tom Brady
3. Donovan McNabb
4. Trent Green
5. Drew Brees
6. Ben Roethlisberger
7. Daunte Culpepper
8. Marc Bulger
9. Michael Vick
10. Pick'em... Palmer/Delhomme/Hasselbeck

I like this list.

Jeff, I am a Ragin' Cajun and love Delhomme to pieces but he doesn't compete with either Hasselbeck or Palmer. I drop Vick and Delhomme from the list, go Palmer 9 and Hass 10 and call it my list.

I would argue that the Plaxico, Ward, and Randle-El combination was pretty darn good not to mention one of the best offensive lines in the game. I understand your point but there is has definately been some talent around him. Indy likes to pass. Pitt likes to run, wear the defense down, and control the clock. I think that's one of the reasons Indy's defense "looks" better this year. They are not constantly out on the field.
