We were inspired by Joe Montana's TWEETS to provide our own list of the top five QB’s playing today. Joe listed six as his top five and we thought, “hey here is a chance to do something better that JOE MONTANA!!
So here it is
1. (Tie) Aaron Rodgers, Drew Breeze-With one Super Bowl Win under the belt he has a command of his offense and a mastery of the game no one else can rival.
2. (tie) Payton Manning, Tom Brady-fallen a step off from his heyday but veteran presence and caginess counts a lot here. There is not much he hasn’t seen.
3. (tie) Joe Flacco, Eli Manning-Whatever problems he has had during the regular season it all goes away in the play-offs where all he does is seem to win. Flash me that Super Bowl MVP
4. (tie) Matt Ryan, Tony Romo- no denying his talent, great regular season numbers but somehow cannot deliver in the post season. Still Talent makes him higher than others.
5. (tie) Jay Cultler, Philip Rivers-Immensely talented and he is still more polished passer than RG3, Cam, Luck and Wilson (right now) but that could change by the end of the season. If he doesn’t make the next step this year he will be lucky to be in the top ten next year let alone the top 5.
6. Honorable mention-Ben Roethlisberger perhaps second only to Brady in accomplishments but he is not an elite passer. We have yet to see that he can carry a team without a great running game and elite defense. A deep playoff push this year could vault him back into the top 5.
UPDATE: The big Scary Editor was confused over the inclusion of Big Ben in this mannor. The joke is we do not think he belongs in the same grouping as the rest. Now if this was the top five O linemen then he would be right up there with Jamarcus Russel
