the top 107 QB ratings list

[Hasselbeck]

Wilson= 3 more years, then lets see what he's doing. A 2 year pro does not go on a all time list of any kind. Right now he is just a right place,right time guy

Got it.. Jeff Blake and David Carr can be on a list.. but not a 2 year starter who has accomplished a ton or a 6 year starter who has the highest passer rating in league history.

Rams, this list makes no sense, and your defense of it looks like trolling more than anything else.

LOL What ever? I'm not defending anything ? I didn't make the list. Whats so hard to believe and what the hell does it have to do with trolling? The criteria is mapped out in the first post and you take it from there. Dude you are taking the wrong aspects too seriously and not able to interpret the rest.

say where it makes no sense and what you want to do with it.

Let's start by not excluding great players of the present who have already made a huge impact on the game. Aaron Rodgers, even by this"criteria" which doesn't begin to show how good a QB actually is, should be on this list. Kaepernick should be on the list. Russell Wilson should be on the list.

Another inexcusable thing is that Mark Brunell is ranked ahead of Joe Namath. Brunell is a career backup and Namath led his team to a SB. There are many other mishaps that I won't even go into because my post would turn into an essay.

Mark Brunell is not anywhere close to a career backup.

but actually took each players numbers compared to the league average. The numbers used were completions, completion %, yards, TDs, TD%, INT, INT% and rating for every QB who has 10 years of experience and at least 5 years as their team's majority starter with at least 2 years starting from 1966 or later (Super Bowl Era). These numbers were taken into consideration for each player's entire career, top 5 seasons and play offs. Numbers also considered were years in the playoffs, play off starts, play off wins, pro bowls, 1st team all pros, MVPs, 4th quarter comebacks (career and top 5) and game winning drives (career and top 5). In all, each player is compared in 34 different categories.

Brunell was not a career back up..he was in fact the franchise QB for a while and had a 5-5 playoffs record with Jax

During his years in Jacksonville, Brunell was selected to the Pro Bowl three times, in 1997, 1998, and 2000 and awarded the Pro Bowl MVP in the 1997 game. With Brunell starting, the Jaguars won an AFC Central Division title and became the first NFL expansion team to make the playoffs three times in its first four seasons of play. The furthest he led the team was to the 1996 AFC Championship Game, which they lost to the New England Patriots. They returned again in 1999, but would lose to the Tennessee Titans

Joe Namath was 2-1 in his NFL playoff history..while it was historically more important it was also similar to Brunell helping a new franchise succeed. The guy who made this is doing what most kids do now anyway. He is relying purely on stats, not eras, not likes or dislikes. ..no I haven't seen Namaths AFL history and I KNOW he was great for his time..but this is what it is based on the guys criteria

I blatantly LOL at saying Kaepernick should be on the list. He has barely played 3 years and hasn't done shit yet as an individual.

2 NFC title games, 1 Super Bowl appearance, yeah I see how he hasn't done shit as an individual.

that's right..that is a team statistic. as of yet he is just a good young talent. I have watched him play. He's a great jock so far but he is no leader or fully qualified QB. He is just this era's Vick so far.

its not about how cool you think he is being in playoff games its about players with larger resumes and how the stack against their peers. 10 years from now you can put your favorites on the list if they are worth a damn by then

Namath is in the Professional Football Hall of Fame. While his career statistics are not exceptional (e.g.: Career passing percentage 50.1, QB rating 65.5, 50 more interceptions than TD's), Namath was the game's first true media superstar, and also the first quarterback to throw for 4,000 yards during the 14-game 1967 season. Nobody achieved this feat again until Dan Fouts in 1979, a year after the NFL adopted a 16-game season format and enacted new rules that gave more protection to quarterbacks and wide receivers. Namath's style of play in the years before his knees limited his mobility helped evolve the quarterback position in the NFL, and also initiated a gradual change in the typical style of an NFL offense from a run-oriented ball control game to a more open passing style. Hall of Fame coach Bill Walsh stated that Namath was "the most beautiful, accurate, stylish passer with the quickest release [he'd] ever seen." Hall of Fame coach Don Shula stated that Namath was "one of the three smartest quarterbacks of all time."
