1) Aaron Rodgers- As much as I hate to put Rodgers at 1 I’m going to have to. I put him at number 1 because not only is he a stat sheet filler, but he is very important to his team. Being an heir to an all-time great, Brett Farve, Rodgers quickly made the fans forgot about their loss with a SuperBowl win in the 2010-2011 season.
2) Tom Brady- I put Tom Brady at two because not only is he important to his team but he is very consistent. Last year he led the league in touchdown passes and had the highest QB ration of 111. This season he’s also off to a hot start leading the league in passing yards. Although his stats are better than Aaron Rodgers I could not put him at number 1 because he did not get the job done and lead his team to a SuperBowl win.
3) Michael Vick- Vick is a headache for defensive coordinators. He is the most versatile QB in the league. While he has worked on his game in the pocket, he is also still very dangerous out the pocket. Vick can scramble and create his own time when he drops back to pass making it very hard for corners to cover their receivers. He is also notorious for making his own plays. Vick also had one of the fewest interceptions thrown last season only throwing 6 as compared to Tom Brady throwing 4 which was the least interceptions thrown in the NFL.
4) Ben Roethlisberger- Big Ben is at 4 because he is leading his team to multiple SuperBowls. Year after year Big Ben is carrying his team deep into the playoffs and getting the job done. Also he makes plays with the very few offensive weapons he has.
5) Drew Brees- Brees is at number 4 because of what he did in New Orleans. Brees put his team back on the map by winning a SuperBowl and giving hope to the city of New Orleans. While he is a little trigger happy, throwing 22 interceptions last season, he is very good at finding open receivers and allowing his receivers to make plays.
6) Peyton Manning- It may be a surprise to see Peyton down at 6, but right now he is not doing anything for his team. But on the other hand it shows how important he is to his team. Peyton has had neck surgeries and has missed games and practices and the Colts are looking terrible without him. The failures of the Colts show how important Peyton is to his team.
7) Matt Ryan- Ryan is at 7 because of his lack of stats this year. Last year he started off much better and looked like a playoff quarterback. He is surrounded by a high-powered offense and I do not feel like he is using all the weapons he has. The Falcons have one of the best receivers in the NFL in Roddy White, and an exciting rookie in Julio Jones and so far, Ryan is not getting them the ball in the end zone.
8) Philip Rivers- I put rivers at 8 because he is just not producing any stats this year. He has started off very slow throwing 4 touchdowns while throwing 6 interceptions this year. In my opinion I do not think Rivers is consistent in his game.
9) Mark Sanchez- Although some many call him overrated Mark Sanchez has produced nothing but success for the New York Jets. He is the quarterback the Jets were looking for to build a franchise around. His rookie year he came into the league and took his team to an AFC championship game. He is the second QB in NFL history to lead his team to an AFC championship in his rookie year. Mark “Franchize” is the future of the Jets.
10) Cam Newton- Cam Newton is what the Panthers were looking for. The Panthers are hoping to turn Newton into their franchise. Newton was the headlines of the NFL coming into his first two games and throwing for over 400yds each game. Newton took the NFL by storm with his first two games. He has many expectations this season and many others look forward to the rest of this NFL season to see if Newton will be one of the elite players in the NFL.
