June 3, 201412 yr Tough argument not to have Peyton and Brady at the top. I'd take Rodgers, Brees and Eli in the next group and then throw in Flacco, Rothlisberger, Luck, Stafford and Ryan. I'd have Newton and Romo over a few guys on your list.
June 3, 201412 yr I think you're way off base when it comes to Rodgers. He may be #1 frankly. He is the only other one worthy of consideration. I have been disappointed with how the Packer's seasons have ended in his MVP season, the next season, then last year (injured through part of it in fairness). He is a beast though and my #3. Probably better for me to say I think there is a distinction between he and the top two, more so because of longevity, and after that I think Brees is a ways behind him. 1,2 3 4
June 3, 201412 yr Yes, he is...not a fan of his necessarily but without question he is still a top level qb.
June 3, 201412 yr Without Brady, the Patriots last year are a 5 win team. Enough said. Poor defense. Limited running game. Marginal receiving core.

June 3, 201412 yr I believe that during this past record setting year NFL execs still picked Brady over Peyton. If I recall it wasn't even close.
June 4, 201412 yr Eli? Um, nope. Eli has been hurt lately but when healthy, he was winning super bowls. IMO, that puts him ahead of the others on the list.
June 4, 201412 yr It is remarkable that Brady and Manning are still #s 1 and 2 in most eyes for the past 11-12 years. Think about that for a second.
June 4, 201412 yr 1. Aaron 2. Peyton 3. Tom 4. Drew I could be talked into Drew>Tom but those 4 are undoubtedly top 4.

June 4, 201412 yr But Peyton and Tom get passes when their seasons end in disappointing fashion? Yes. Not necessarily a pass. It is more about the longevity with Rodgers.
June 4, 201412 yr 1. Aaron 2. Peyton 3. Tom 4. Drew I could be talked into Drew>Tom but those 4 are undoubtedly top 4. This, except no way I could put Drew above Tom.
June 4, 201412 yr He's also not bad at real estate. Bought a place in CA for $11M. Made "some upgrades." Sold it for $40M to Dr Dre and his new Apple money.
June 4, 201412 yr I'm no Tom Brady fan by any stretch of the imagination, but the way Florio nit picked Brady's play in the AFC Championship Game I find hilarious. I know he has to fill space to get paid, but seriously, pulling bad questions from ESPN, the Worldwide Leader in manufactured drama?
