B/R NFL 1000: Top 65 Quarterbacks

**CincyCat** · 02-12-2013, 06:32 PM

This was worth clicking through. Semi fair but will upset some: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...5-quarterbacks

It was interesting to read, but its kind of dumb to rank that many qbs. I mean whats the point. However, you cant look me in the eye, and rate Tom Brady higher in arm strength than Rogers, and equal to Joe Flacco. Thats just insane.

And LOL at Flaccos "solid" playoffs.

You always have to factor in the backups. A QB can be out for a season on one play. I thought Joe deserved to be in the top 3 or 4. I give it one more year before the old guard starts to seriously fade.

You could make the argument that in a way they already have since for the first time in ten years there wasn't a Manning Brady or Roethlissberger is the super bowl. They still show up but they're certainly not as dominant as they once were.

I agree with you. If not already, it won't be long

I was cool with his ranking overall, because he did have an incosistent season for one reason or another. I was actually surprised he was that high. But his arm strength is well known, and to have him with Brady, and Ryan, and not with Cutler, or effing Kapernick, just doesnt sit well with me.

Agreed. Out of the 3 you named, Manning is the only one I can stomach.

I actually like them both, and their Dad. I don't think Eli is going anywhere soon. Peyton is a class act, but I can understand the Colts rub. It's not his fault in any way. The Manning family is a good example of what makes this country great IMHO.

I actually like Peyton and dislike Eli actually. Something about him drives me crazy.

That list is awful.

Ponder ranked the same as Pryor?
Just garbage that makes no sense.

I don't visit that garbage site

Sanchez #63...Tebow #62

LOL

**RavenScallywag** · 02-12-2013, 10:44 PM

Also, since he made the list...I'm sure Cincy is going to retain Bruce Gradkowski, but if the money was right, I'd LOVE to bring him to Baltimore.

#1 - Gino's brother!
#2 - Always liked him coming out of college, VERY solid backup.

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Drew Brees
3. Eli Manning
4. Joe Flacco
5. Peyton Manning/Tom Brady

Anyone who says anything other than this is clueless.

Playoff stats:

Flacco: 18-2 td/int in past 3 years (19-8 total)
Drew Brees: 22-4
Eli Manning: 17-8
Aaron Rodgers: 18-5

Everyone else? Shitty in comparison. The elite 4 is undoubtedly Flacco, Eli, Brees, and Rodgers. Because guess what? The playoffs freakin' matter. Much more than regular season.

Ok I am clueless that I think he's the 6th best QB.

BTW FUCK BLEACHER REPORT

"Solid playoff run". Understatement of the century.

Outside of a few weird rankings...has anyone noticed how deep the league is with quarterbacks? I'm shocked by how many legitimately serviceable QBs were so far down the list. We're definitely in a golden age of QB play that transcends rule changes.

**Spider Webb** · 02-13-2013, 01:23 AM

Any QB list that has Flacco listed behind Matt Ryan loses all credibility. Ryan can't hold Flacco's jock strap.

**leachisabeast** · 02-13-2013, 01:32 AM

I agree the the 6th ranking, but what the hell are they smoking to put Matt Ryan ahead of him?

I think half the sports writers are just DYING for Ryan to get to Flacco's success level, so they can say "THERE...Ryan is better than Flacco FOR REAL now...because he has the better numbers AND the playoff success to match"
