Default Mark Brunell one of the top 5 QBs?

A friend of mine suggested that he would have a difficult time putting 5 QBs ahead of Burnell. Granted this person is a die hard Skins fan, and like most Skins fans he lacks common football sense/knowledge. After thinking about what he said for a few minutes I told him that I have him ranked between 12th-14th. He told me that I was crazy.

Now granted Burnell has had a great start this year and has thrown 12 TDs and 2 INTs (it does help the stats playing the 49ers and the Chiefs). Stats are not everything and I was curious on what other people thought about Burnell and how they would rank him.

Any thoughts or comments?

I think 12-14th is just about right. A case can be made that he is top 5 in the NFC right now, but not in the all of the NFL. There are probably about 6 or 7 QB's in the AFC alone that I rank above Brunell.

manning, manning, brady, brees, mcnabb.

that was hard...

(Disclaimer: This is just a random list that popped in my head of QBs I think are better than Brunell. In no way are they in any order or do I think they are the top 5 QBs so please don't try and start anything.)

People seriously underestimate the run he had in the mid-late 90's, but now, no.

Right now, this season, he is one of the top 5 or 6 QBs in the league.

Fantasy-wise I agree with this statement. But in real life he doesn't even belong in the top 10. Top 12/15 most most definitely.

He's probably been one of the ten most valuable. The spread between 10 and 15 isn't all that large.

In fantasy numbers, he is top 5 in passing yards (avg around 250yds), completions and non-INT's. I am glad I am starting him this week. Now this is due to the ridculous runs by Santana Moss but he is still a reborn QB.

Wow. Mark Brunell is really good. I take back everything negative I previously said about him. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
