    Green Bay conceded the fifth fewest sacks this year! You're a hard taskmaster.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,067 ✭✭✭tallaghtoutlaws


    They may have conceded the fewest sacks only because Favre is smart enough to dump the ball. Hence alot of the interceptions. Been watching all the packers games this week and he gets rushed so many times its not even funny.

    Despite recent discussions with board members about a recent performance i still believe Brady is the BenchMark for all modern QBs
    1. Brady
    2. Maning
    3. Favre
    4. Vick
    5. Roethlisberger ( I feel he has great potential and only time will tell, and am open to other people being proposed ahead of him, like Hasselbeck,McNabb or maybe Leftwich, i will admit to being a biased steelers fan)
    picking just 5 is tough.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 230 ✭✭Boomer23


    1. Brady
    2. Maning
    3. Favre
    4. Vick
    5. Roethlisberger

    Really? you think Roethlisberger is better then Palmer, McNabb, Bulger, Hasselbeck, Leftwich, Plummer, Pennington and McNair? he MAY have a ring, but the he is more of a Game Manager then a QB

    id go for this:

    1. Manning
    2. Brady
    3. Favre
    4. Brees
    5. Palmer


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 573 ✭✭✭The jock


    Favre
    Brady
    Roethlisberger
    (Brees
    Manning) These two are yet to win a Superbowl Ring


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 459 ✭✭csk


    In no particular order:

    Favre
    Brady
    Vick
    Roethlisberger
    Manning

    Vick?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 35 Devrozex


    Personal preference. Hes exciting, a player I like to watch, and so makes my top five. Sure he has his weaknesses, but hes a fascinating QB.

    I like Vick as well. Can never understand why he gets so much stick. Its not his fault his O line is terrible.

    List wise
    Brady
    Manning
    Brees
    Garcia
    Palmer

    what???????

    NO team with a bad O-Line could have a player rush for over 1000 yards! come on, its the play calling


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 473 ✭✭Lothaar


    Vick's O-Line is one of the best in the league. Alex Gibbs (Asst Coach at Atlanta and the man responsible for establishing the Denver 1,000-yard machine) is the best O-Line coach in the league, and very possibly EVER in the NFL. Granted it's set up to be a 'running' O-Line, with smaller, faster linemen than usual... but the threat of the run is the QB's best friend. Vick bites and you can't blame his O-Line. Great athlete, though.

    BTW - Finally Manning shakes off that monkey from his back. I've always said he was a winner not a choker and he finally proved it. If he wins the big one, suddenly he'll be lauded as a king. Thing is, he's not any better a QB than he was in the past few years...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,471 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Manning, consistently the best over the last 9 years.
    Brady, Well he has those superbowl rings
    Vick, a good scrambler reminds me of Harbaugh
    McNair, probably running out of chances for a ring
    Brees,a bit to prove after that loss to Chicago

    It is called 'running for your life'. lol Randall Cunnngham was similar in his days with the Philadelphia Eagles.

    The truth of the matter is that Vick is a QB with WR speed. HE has all of the tools to be a MONSTER at any position he chooses to play, but his deceision making abilities are not the greatest in the pocket.

    He was an option QB in school because of his amazing speed, but he has not been able to make the adjustment to being a pocket passer......yet.

    Manning is the best prepared QB in the game. There is no single player in the NFL that studies the game more than Peyton (this is coming from a life long Bears fan).

    You hit the nail on the head with Brady. The rings say it all.

    Vick is an option QB. Harbaugh has no business being mentioned in the same sentence as any one of the QBs in any of these lists. He had one decent year, where even then he came up short.

    McNair had linebacker size and great decision making skills that allowed him to stay in the pocket longer and take hits. His body is starting to show the wear and tear of this though. If he stayed healthy, I wouldn't ever 'write him off'.

    Brees had a great game against Chicago. 27/49 for 354 yards and 2 touchdowns/ 1 interception. What killed New Orleans was the turnovers and Special teams (as well as the Bears D).

    If he stays healthy, and NO can control the clock with their running game Brees is going to be in a few more NFC Championships in his career.

    Yes he did, along with a 75.7 QB rating.

    52.6% completion percentage
    154.6 years per game average
    2474 passing yards for the season.

    Rex Grossman who is being called 'the worst starting QB to ever make it to a Super Bowl' has put up better numbers than Vick.
