Real Life NFL Talk

And you are going to pick the Lions to get attached to?!?!

Bucs took Levonte David.

I'd like to see some other peoples top 32 QB's in the NFL right now - Ron Jaworski is doing his own list so I figured what the hell. This is just a list of who you think the best QB's in the NFL are, as of today. Not a year from now, not who you would start your team with, just who the best is. Without very much time or effort, I'll start. The hardest part for me is ranking the rookies. And yes I did 35 just to make sure Tebow made my list.

1) Aaron Rodgers
2) Tom Brady
3) Drew Brees
4) Peyton Manning
5) Eli Manning
6) Ben Roethlisberger
7) Phillip Rivers
8) Tony Romo
9) Matthew Stafford
10) Matt Ryan
11) Matt Schaub
12) Jay Cutler
13) Michael Vick
14) Joe Flacco
15) Andy Dalton
16) Cam Newton
17) Carson Palmer
18) Ryan Fitzpatrick
19) Matt Hasselbeck
20) Matt Moore
21) Sam Bradford
22) Matt Flynn
23) Kyle Orton
24) Andrew Luck
25) Robert Griffin III
26) Matt Cassel
27) Josh Freeman
28) Kevin Kolb
29) Mark Sanchez
30) Brandon Weeden
31) Ryan Tannehill
32) Tarvaris Jackson
33) Colt McCoy
34) Blaine Gabbert
35) Tim Tebow

Feel free to argue, discuss and post your own list.

I'm stopping there.

No Matt Ryan?

I need to see it more from Stafford....one season so far.

Schaub is a complete bitch that cannot stay on the field...so he is no good. Watch, he will get hurt again this season

I cant stand Ryan, Rivers, and Vick. Just a bunch of fantasy football QBs who will never win anything.

If Schaub stayed healthy...maybe the Texans wouldve been in the super bowl? Who knows.

I agree completely

Yet you have Romo on your list? I don't necessarily disagree with your list but I would have Ryan on it before Dalton.

Some good points being made here.

And thats why you got to make your own list.

I didn't make a list. I questioned yours. Don't get sensitive. You think Matt Ryan sucks. I think Romo is his equal at best.

I'm not getting sensitive? Calm down broski. Seriously though..Romo > Ryan and its not even close.

On 2nd glance of the stats, it is close. However, Romo > Ryan still.

I like Matt Ryan, but I'd take Tony Romo over him just about in any situation. Except for Place Holder.

QBs like Matt Ryan and Philip Rivers are constantly overrated. On the other hand, Romo receives so much criticism he gets underrated. Kind of creates a perception that Matt Ryan is a better QB than Romo when in reality Romo is a better QB.

I actually think Romo is a very good QB. I thought we were referring to QB's who win in the big situations. Romo has consistently failed to do that. Granted Ryan hasn't done shit when it mattered either. He is shitty on the road. But I think he deserves to be top 10 over Dalton not Romo.

I think what Dalton did in the toughest division in the NFL last year with a rookie #1 WR was amazing. Taking a 4-12 team to 10-6 and a playoff berth is big time. I would actually take Dalton over Matt Ryan anyday...unless of course Matt Ryan is playing in that dome down in Georgia.

I really don't know how you can take a first year QB over a multi-year starter. Especially when you see that Ryan did better in his first year than Dalton did.





To be clear I am no Matt Ryan apologist, I wasn't a fan of his coming out of college and I didn't think he was worthy of a #3 pick but I will not take away what he HAS done. He is by no means perfect and he struggles in big situations and on the road. But he is a top 10 NFL QB.

Not that I agree/disagree either way. But the 2011 defenses from the Steelers/Ravens/Browns, 6 games, were worlds better than 2008 defenses from the Panthers/Bucs/Saints.

And I don't disagree with that statement either. And I am not knocking Dalton at all. But I don't think his one season was enough to call him a top ten NFL QB. If he does that again next year then we're talking some real talent. That was another knock on Matt Ryan. The 2008 Falcons team wasn't all that good, he did a great job of leading them but his second season wasn't nearly as good. We shall see what Dalton does this year. It's always tough to be a rookie starting at QB in the NFL and he did a pretty damn good job. Either way this has been a fun discussion.
