QB Power Rankings

This is my list of the 30 best QBs in the game today. Of course, there are questions about Peyton Manning and a few of the rookies, but whatever.

1. Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) - This isn't just me as a Packer fan. Last season's MVP and he just might be leading the best team in the NFL
2. Tom Brady (New England Patriots) - Been a staple towards the top of this list for a long time
3. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) - He set the record last season for most passing yards
4. Eli Manning (New York Giants) - We saw last season how great this guy can be when he doesn't turn it over
5. Peyton Manning (Denver Broncos) - More question marks than any other QB. If he's old Peyton, he could probably be #2 or 3.
6. Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers) - Don't think he's that great, but he's won two Super Bowls...
7. Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) - Been solid statistically since he's been in the league but struggles to win the big game
8. Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions) - When healthy, he's great, and he's got the best receiver in football
9. Philip Rivers (San Diego Chargers) - Coming off a terrible season, otherwise he might be #5 or 6
10. Tony Romo (Dallas Cowboys) - Same thing as Matt Ryan, just a little more experienced and turnover heavy. Also a bad kick holder
11. Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers) - Young and a bit unproven in terms of winning games, but he's a passing yards machine
12. Jay Cutler (Chicago Bears) - Before the injury he may have had the best year of his career. If he comes back strong, he could be a top 10 guy
13. Michael Vick (Philadelphia Eagles) - That "Dream Team" thing didn't work out too well, but let's not forget the year he had two seasons ago.
14. Matt Schaub (Houston Texans) - Had a great year last year until the injury, which hurt Houston a lot in the playoffs. If he remains healthy, they're Super Bowl contenders
15. Andy Dalton (Cincinnati Bengals) - While Newton's stats were amazing everyone, this rookie led his team to the playoffs with a great season himself
16. Joe Flacco (Baltimore Ravens) - His career record speaks for itself, but it was clear in the playoffs that was due more to the people around him
17. Andrew Luck (Indianapolis Colts) - I think he'll be a great quarterback, but it may not happen overnight
18. Josh Freeman (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) - Had a bad season last year but quite a good one two years ago
19. Matt Cassel (Kansas City Chiefs) - While he had a disappointing year last season, this man led the Chiefs to the playoffs a couple years ago, which is never easy
20. Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins) - Another rookie, should be interesting how his athleticism translates to the NFL. It took Michael Vick a while, but Cam Newton started out great...
21. Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buffalo Bills) - He led the league in interceptions last year but he is in a pretty tough division...idk
22. Alex Smith (San Francisco 49ers) - Far from great, but productive with good players around him
23. Carson Palmer (Oakland Raiders) - His brief prime seems like a long time ago now. Probably because it is.
24. Sam Bradford (Saint Louis Rams) - Had a sophomore slump last season; let's see if he has a comeback
25. Matt Hasselbeck (Tennessee Titans) - While this perennial Seahawk is now in a Titans jersey, he brings tremendous experience that can make up for him being past his prime and short on the skills. Maybe.
26. Matt Flynn (Seattle Seahawks) - As unproven as any of the rookies, Aaron Rodgers' former backup, in just his second start, he set the record for a Green Bay Packer with 6 touchdown passes. Impressive, but still plenty of question marks.
27. Matt Moore (Miami Dolphins) - Had a decent year last year but is faced with a quarterback controversy nonetheless. I vote Ryan Tannehill's wife.
28. Mark Sanchez (New York Jets) - Last year he proved how useless he is without a running game. Could find himself benched halfway through the season for Tim Tebow
29. John Skelton (Arizona Cardinals) - This Fordham alum has proven a few times that he can win games on a terrible team. Unfortunately, the Cardinals overspent on Kevin Kolb and insist that he's the starter.
30. Jason Campbell (Chicago Bears) - He'll be backing up Cutler, but he actually played okay for Oakland if you'll remember, not too long ago. Okay, not great.
