Going by entire seasons, not 1st half of seasons (Romo & Farve would be on the Sept to Nov list)
#1 Tom Brady - He was the best QB in the league BEFORE he had Moss.
#2 Peyton Manning - Probably the smartest QB in the league.
#3 Phillip Rivers - Guy played on a blown knee, thats balls. Extremely talented.
#4 Donovan McNabb - Was damn good when FredEx was his #1, we'll see how much better he is now that he finally has some talent around him.
#5 Chad Pennington - Before you crucify me on this, look at the stats. Very accurate. Moderate arm strength. Fantastic when healthy.
#6 Ben Roethlisberger - He did play like crap in his first SB, but the tackle he made against the Colts when Bettis fumbled is classic. Big Ben got them to that SB. The refs won it.
#7 Carson Palmer - Bengals win the SB if not for Kimo. But looking injury prone. Blown knee, torn up elbow, now his ankle?
#8 Aaron Rodgers - Packer fans aren't missing Farve, he is the reason.
#9 Drew Brees - Plays in NFL's version of the spread. Same system run by Tim Couch and Akili Smith.
#10 Kurt Warner - Bruce-Holt-Faulk looks alot like Fitzgerald-Boldin-Breaston. How much of his stats are him being good and how much are throwing the ball up and praying your fantastic recivers come down with it?
