Top-10 Quarterbacks

Three of the NFL Media analysts took a stab at Top-10 quarterback rankings. It's always interesting to see how others see these things like the best quarterbacks in the game. Everyone has their opinions. There's really no right or wrong. Well, the first analyst might wrong as he has Alex Smith among his top-10 quarterbacks. I'll start with that one.

Elliot Harrison
1.   Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
2.   Tom Brady, New England Patriots
3.   Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
4.   Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
5.   Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
6.   Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
7.   Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
8..  Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
9.   Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
10. Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs

Ha!

Dave Dameshek
1.   Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
2.   Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
3.   Tom Brady, New England Patriots
4.   Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
5.   Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
6.   Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
7.   Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers
8.   Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
9.   Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
10. Eli Manning, New York Giants
11. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
12. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
13. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
14. Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs

-Dave Damshek. 14 quarterbacks. Overachiever.

Bucky Brooks
1.   Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
2.   Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
3.   Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
4.   Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
5.   Tom Brady, New England Patriots
6.   Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
7.   Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
8.   Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
9.   Eli Manning, New York Giants
10. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

It's amazing to see Peyton Manning fall down these lists. Times change. It feels like only yesterday that he was 1 or 2. Maybe 3.

Here's mine (the right one!)
1.   Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
2.   Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts
3.   Tom Brady, New England Patriots
4.   Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
5.   Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks
6.   Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
7.   Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos
8.   Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
9.   Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
10. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys

-If this ranking was based solely on postseason play, Flacco would shoot up to the top-3 or 4. His play and record in the playoffs is remarkable.

-I expect that Teddy Bridgewater will be in the top-10 mix by the end of the coming season.
