NFL: Who is the best QB in Football? Brady, Manning, Rodgers or Vick?

Brady and Manning getting up in age but still getting it done, Rodgers is the future and Vick might be the most exciting player in the League. But right now, I shall take Rodgers.

Rodgers and Vick aren't in the conversation....yet

It's too tough to call between Brady and Manning.

Plus he has the BELT!!!

I think Rodgers will be the best QB in the NFL this yearJML897

By Manning you mean Eli, right? :P

Tom Brady has taken over for Manning. I expect Rivers to take over for Brady in the coming years.i5750at4Ghz

Rivers has insane numbers every year, only reason he isn't right there with Brady already is because he doesn't make the playoffs every year like Brady does, and really I think that's more of a failure to surround him with a great defense.

Also, why isn't Brees in this conversation? Dude has like 4,000 yards every single year.

Brees is a top 3 QB. Case closed. Maybe, if he has another down year, Rogers/River/Vick take the title for 3rd best QB, but till then...No_Hablo_Ingles

I find it funny how Vick is in this poll and Rivers is not. What a joke.SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] To be fair Vick did have a better year last year.i5750at4Ghz

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"][QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] OK. He didn't even play a full year. Rivers has put up great numbers constantly over the past few years with a worse team. He also threw for the most yards last year. You don't judge a quarterback on a small amount of time played.

Also, just running doesn't make you a good quarterback. SF_KiLLaMaN

Rivers is what a quarterback is supposed to be and he has been excellent for the past few years.SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"][QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] Vick 5 years starting 5 playoff runs. Rivers not so much, and rivers plays in the AFC west the second worse division in the NFL.i5750at4Ghz

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"]

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] I could easily argue that the Falcons were a better team than the Chargers are. Also, just running doesn't make you a good quarterback. Yes, Vick is and was a great athlete, but there is a lot more to being a quarterback. Rivers is what a quarterback is supposed to be and he has been excellent for the past few years.SF_KiLLaMaN

Are you really going to judge Vick by one season? Also, you still can't forget about how much better the Eagles are than the Chargers.SF_KiLLaMaN

Because Vick has had a better team for his entire career. Rivers can put up huge numbers and still lose because the Charger defense can't stop anything. A QB has to be able to throw the ball good and be accurate. Both of which Rivers is better than Vick at. Sure, Vick can run, but that is only one of the many things that makes a quarter back that he is better than Rivers in. A quarterback can't make a team a playoff team, he needs support.SF_KiLLaMaN

Also I would go with Brady. I may be a Pats fan but he did great last season, no question. And he has been consisent throughout the years.

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] Are you really going to judge Vick by one season? Also, you still can't forget about how much better the Eagles are than the Chargers.No_Hablo_Ingles

Adding a good quarterback obviously makes a team much better, especially when he is most of the offense. but he only excelled in one area, which was scrambling and running. He made the pro bowl because he was a great exciting player, but saying he was one of the best quarterback would just be stupid. Yes, he was and still is an amazing athlete, but to be a great quarterback you have to be well rounded, not just good in one small area of the position.SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"]

[QUOTE="No_Hablo_Ingles"] . Vick is a 4 time probowler, who has numerous records, among them being the first QB in NFL history to beat Greenbay in Lambo field in the playoffs. So, no, I'm not solely judging him off 1 season, but it is obvious he has improved 2. Vick makes them better. Just like how he made the 3-13 Falcons a 10 win teami5750at4Ghz

Vick is obviosuly getting better and more balance, but I still wouldn't put ihm in my top 5 QBs.

SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"][QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] He is and was a great QB, he just wasn't a good passing QB. Your narrow view of what a QB "should be" doesn't change that fact.

i5750at4Ghz

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"][QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] My narrow view? I'm looking at the big picture, you're not. Sure he was a good running QB, but that's only a small percentage of a QB's total job. In order to be great at a job, you have to be good at everything the job involves, which Vick was clearly not on the Falcons. SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"]

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"] I disagree. If what you say is true then he wouldn't have been winning games like he was.i5750at4Ghz

But rushing isn't an essential part of being a QB, passing is. Being able to run is more of a bonus than anything. SF_KiLLaMaN

[QUOTE="i5750at4Ghz"][QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] You don't have to be a great all around QB to win games. You can be great at one small aspect of the job and win by your skill in that, but to be a great QB, you have to be good at everything that has to do with the job. Vick was an amazing athlete, but he wasn't a great QB.

but, just to clarify, what did I exaggerate? He really does throw 50 yards accurately throwing off his back foot with a flick of the wrist. The rest is kind of meh ish

We can all agree Brady and Peyton top 1 and 2...

I see Rodgers, then Brees, then Vick, then Rivers... based on two things, their playing ability AAND ability to lead their team to victory.

I like Manning the best, but as far as best player I'd have to say Brady just for those years when the Patriots kept going to the superbowl and winning. I put Vick last because he's just hype, that's it. I watch him every Sunday and am a diehard Eagles fan, nothing about him has made me go wow. As soon as the Bears figured him out last year he's been average at best.
