    NFL Elite QBs

    I keep seeing this term thrown around.

    Here are a couple of examples:

    John Clayton on ESPN:

    "To refresh your memory, an elite quarterback under my standards is one who is capable of passing for 4,000 yards, completes 60 percent of his passes and has fourth-quarter comeback ability. Until Manning returns, the five AFC elite quarterbacks are Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady, Joe Flacco and Matt Schaub."

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/69...lers-fine-2011

    How can you have 5 elite QBs from one conference? So top third of the league equals elite??

    And this guy from NFL.com:

    "Setting aside Eli's silly assertion, which of these fellas does NOT rank among the game's top tier of QBs?
    Tom Brady
    Drew Brees
    Peyton Manning
    Philip Rivers
    Ben Roethlisberger
    Mike Vick"

    http://davedameshek.nfl.com/?module=HP11_cp

    Notice anyone missing from that second list (includes AFC and NFC). Yeah, some chump who won the SB last year.

    So who is on your list and what is their rank?

    Here's mine:

    #1 Brady
    #2 Manning (Peyton, Eli doesn't even register)
    #3 Rodgers
    #4 Big Ben
    #5 Brees
    #6 Rivers

    Whatdya think?

    D, I especially want to know your thoughts, and Dan Marino retired recently so that's why I left him off the list ;D

    Have to disagree there buddy.....Now you can name any of these QB's and only one resembles this Man.



    What QB do you know today that can throw for 4 touchdowns with a broken-wrist on his throwing arm? Farve is about the closest. But not even on his best day. What QB has the most rushing yards and even a higher avg than most Top RB's? Including Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, or any premiere back in the league. What other QB could throw the Ball even harder than Farve, Brady, Manning, Elway or Marino. Even damn near able to rip another players helmet off just by throwing the ball to him.

    This guy right here.....and he played for DA BEARS! Whch I think they ended up 4-8. ;D

    I had Dan Marino's rookie card. ;D I don't remember what happended to it though. Football cards were never worth much. I think his card was around $60 but I gues it went up by now.

    I gave it to my Step Son since he use to be a Packer Fan/ But now he hates Aaron Rodgers so he is a Minnesota Fan. Actually I have been able to get him some Unique Farve stuff. My oldest son has Da Bears and Da Bulls and the White Sox-South Side!
    My Youngest is a Cubs and Hawks Fan. Well We all are Hawks Fans. Tho my youngest likes Carolina for FootBall and Bahston Checlets.
    They have MJ's MVP cards signed. Plus Cliff Levingston. Pics of Bob Love and Artemis Gilmore. John Paxson as a player. A host of Bears Players and Footballs signed by Dan Hampton. I have one with Mike Singletary's Signature on it.

    Wish I would have saved all of that type of stuff growing up. But i moved around to much. When I was in the Military School. Bears Players always came and visited the school. So I had pics with Doug Plank, Doug Buffone, Bob Avellini, Gary Fencik, Brian Bashnagel. Some of them were later. But I lost them all.
