10 QBs in football right now -- as in, not based on career bodies of work:
1. Peyton Manning, Colts. No, I am not a Brady hater. But to me, Manning is still one of a kind -- the smartest and most valuable player in the game. If I'm starting a team from scratch tomorrow, he's my No. 1 overall pick.
2. Tom Brady, Patriots. On top of everything else he's great at, Brady throws the best-looking ball since John Elway. When he snaps that right wrist and really lets it fly, there's no doubting it's coming down right on the money.
3. Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers. He got sacked 47 times in 2007 -- second-most in the league -- and still had the best passer rating (104.1) after Brady. He has the biggest arm in the game, he's crazy-tough in the pocket and he never backs down, as he displayed last weekend in the comeback effort against the Jaguars, which came up just short.
4. Tony Romo, Cowboys. He can keep any play alive, he completely trusts his receivers, and he really had only two stinker games this season -- his few, loud critics are totally overstating the inconsistency factor with Romo.
5. Brett Favre, Packers. Records aside, Favre was one of many reasons the Packers won 13 games. He has his best receiving corps in several years, and only one NFC defense allowed fewer points. Are you telling me you wouldn't much rather have Favre from 10 years ago, five or even three?
6. Carson Palmer, Bengals. My one problem with Palmer is that he isn't more of a forceful leader; the great quarterbacks are idolized (and often feared) even by their teammates. But his Foutsian gifts are plain to see, and he's got a real shot to someday be the best QB in the league.
7. Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks. He hasn't dropped off an inch since Super Bowl 40, and this year his numbers were better than ever. He's upbeat, confident and crafty but still something of a hidden gem out in Seattle.
8. Drew Brees, Saints. Without Brees this season, the Saints would have fought with Miami for the worst record in the league. You never have to worry about this guy. But he lacks the arm strength and size to be a Pro Bowl mainstay.
9. Donovan McNabb, Eagles. I don't know about you, but I'm still a McNabber. When he's healthy, he still dominates. Nineteen TDs and only seven picks was an outstanding performance in limited action with pretty low-level talent around him.
10. Eli Manning, Giants. Where's David Garrard? Marc Bulger? Jay Cutler? Maybe I'm nuts, but I'd rather have Eli. I'm done overreacting to his Sling Blade-style facial expressions -- I'm way more into the way he hangs in there and just wins, baby, on the road.

ELi has as many career playoff wins as Bulger and ELi has made the playoffs 3 years in a row. Where have the lambs been?

Eli has a more solid team around him, namely on defense. He's the only thing holding the Giants back. If they had Marc Bulger they would be a WAY better team.

I think the Colts are going to put a hurtin on the Chargers. Can't wait to see LT and Rivers cry their big mouths off in the loss.

I'm not a Colts fan but they really should have won the game, that is, if the Colts could catch the ball inside the 15 yard line. They gave away at least 21 points by having the ball bounce off their hands. They didn't help out Peyton at all, you can't pin this loss on him. But where was the Colts defense?
Well anyway, Chargers need LT in New England, but i don't think anyone is beating the Pats. But i guess the Chargers really want revenge from last year. Giants/Cowboys kickoff coming up.

You're right. Even with a healthy squad, my bolts don't stand a chance when they face Pats. I'm just pleased that they stepped up got to where they're at. I really wish fucking Rivers would shut up though...he's embarrasing the team.
Go Giants!!! Eli is gonna eat them up!

i'm thinking the match up against the giants favors the packers. 1. they're at home 2. the packers use the passing game to setup the run. 3. the giants secondary is thier weakest link. go pack go.

The Giants play like shit at home so it's better off they're on the road. The Giants did do a decent job against the Cowboys receivers, and the Cowboy offense was second best this year only to the Pats. But the Cowboys just didn't play well down the stretch. And the Cowboys fucked up BIGTIME with using Marion Barber. I didn't realize that he NEVER had more than 15-16 carries in one game this year, and he had that many in the first half. That's partly why Barber was ineffective in the second half.
As a Giant fan I'm really worried about Eli in this game. He's been great ever since that Pats game, but he does NOT play well in bad weather. The cold won't bother him as much as wind and snow will. If it's windy Eli won't have a good game. And Favre seems to always play good in bad weather.
DId you know the Packer running back was almost a Giant but they didn't have enough spots for him. Jacobs and Bradshaw are pretty good, they need to both run well and NOT fumble for the Giants to have a shot. They can't leave it all on Eli's shoulders.
The Giants already overacheived so i won't be upset or suprised if they lose, but i will be soo damm excited/shocked to see them in the Superbowl. But i know most of America would like to see Favre get one last shot at it. Personally, i wouldn't mind seeing Favre beat the Pats, sadly though i don't see the Pats losing.

On the talk radio shows they have been bringing up some of the coldest games ever. I beleive there was a Cinncinnati/Charger game that was 30 below, without the wind chill. They said it was one game that should have been postponed.
The Bears/Giants playoff game in 1985 was extremely cold, they bring that one up a lot. And the Pats/Chargers game is going to be extremely cold as well. That can't be good for the warm weather Chargers.
