The Only Top 10 QB List That Matters

What is the criteria for determining who is the best QB in the NFL? Is it QB rating,Superbowl victories, Win/Losses,4th quarter comebacks, leadership qualities, intangibles who knows. Well I do. It is a combination of all those things combined with who you play with, who your head coach is, and how well you play under pressure in big games with everything on the line. A very simple method is the eyeball test which seldomly if ever fails. If it was left up to the media they would tell you that Peyton Manning is Jesus in cleats with his ability to walk on water, raise the dead, heal the sick and feed the masses with just two loafs of bread, a piece of fish and a bottle of water. I am here to tell you that not only is he not the best right now he is not even top 4. Here is how I would rank the top 10 signal callers in the game today and a little later I will rank the top 10 QB'S of all time.
  •  10. MATT SCHAUB- All this man has done is throw for 9,140 yards and 53 touchdowns the last two years and not even qualify for the playoffs. It is not his fault that the Texans play prevent defense for 60 minutes and give up points faster than the Orioles eliminate themselves from playoff consideration. Surround him with better talent and the skies the limit.
  • 9. TONY ROMO-  You know I want to rank him higher, but his lack of playoff success prevents me from doing so. He is the 4th highest rated QB of all time and he has had the misfortune of playing for one of the biggest buffoons ever in Wade Phillips. Give him Omar Epps (TOMLIN) or Bellicheck and he probably would be wearing a different type of ring on that hand of his.
  • 8.ELI MANNING- He has as many rings as Peyton with less fanfare. To me he is one of the most underrated players in the league. His Superbowl winning drive is the stuff that legends are made of and yet we overlook it like everyone does when talking about how Kobe was really Shaq's equal when they were winning rings.
  • 7. MICHAEL VICK- Vick is the human version of the video game Super Tecmo Bowl where you could drop back 20 yards and throw an 80 yard bomb and hit the receiver in stride. His skill set is unique and has to be accounted for on every play. I believe that injuries and his penchant for still wanting to prove himself on every play are the only things that can prevent him from fulfilling his destiny.
  • 6. PHILIP RIVERS- The best compliment that I can give Rivers is that you are never really out of a game with him as QB. He has a go for the throat mentality and he is the ultimate competitor. His leadership, intensity, and warrior like attitude are qualities that inspire a team to play above themselves.
  • 5. PEYTON MANNING- The other Manning. 4 MVP AWARDS, 11 PRO BOWL selections, 5 1st Team All pro selections, Pro Bowl MVP, Super Bowl MVP. Manning has done it all. The only knock that I have on him is his 9-10 record in the playoffs and the fact that he threw 3 TDS and 7 INTS with a QB rating of 70 in the playoffs the year the Colts won it all. A couple of more rings and he would possibly be the greatest of all time.
  • 4. B.ROTHLISBERGER- A 10-3 postseason record and 2 wins in 3 Superbowl appearances make up for what Big Ben may lack in stats. He is not your prototypical pocket passer, but when the game is on the line who delivers more big plays than Ben. He would have made an excellent Raider, because all he does is win baby.
  • 3. DREW BREES- He is the Steve Nash of the NFL. In the playoffs his play rises to the next level when his QB RATING IMPROVES 12 POINTS to a 103.7 and he has 13TDS and only 2 INTS. Since coming to the Saints he has thrown for 4418 YDS,4423 YDS, 5069 YDS, 4388 YDS, and 4620 YDS. Simply incredible. A true field general he passes the eyeball test with true colors, because I don't like seeing him across the field when the Cowboys play because I know he can make every throw. Enough said.
  • 2. AARON RODGERS- Winning a Superbowl is an incredible accomplishment in its own right, but to do it from a wild card position is phenomenal. When it is all said and done he could be wearing more jewelry and possibly have a better career than his predecessor and that says it all.
  • 1. TOM BRADY- You know his accomplishments, so I will say this one thing. Bellicheck never had any success in the NFL until Brady became his QB and has their ever been any player in the history of the game that has done more with less. Modern day Montanna. In the famous words of Ric Flair WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR DON'T LIKE IT LEARN TO LOVE IT BECAUSE HE IS THE BEST THING GOING TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • I'M OUT LIKE THE U AND THEIR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES.
