The Top Ten
1 Tom Brady Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., is a retired American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League.

Yep, even though he lost in the Finals this year, he still won the last two years like what you hate him for?

Brady is not that good. He is just considered as good because he has great wideouts

Manning has better WRs and that is why everybody thinks Manning is better. Tom Brady all the way

3 super bowls under his belt, but not lately

2 Aaron Rodgers Aaron Charles Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Going to the hall of fame hail mary king;

Rogers is the best

The saints are 8-1 this season, dominating teams that are also good this season like the rams, who the saints beat 28-0 in the preseason and 45-35 to make the rams' first loss. Patriots on the other hand are losing to the TITANS. Like actually.

Wow, I physically cannot beg every list for drew to be higher. Nice job, whoever made this list.

Not only good this year, but consistent

Drew Brees? Drew Brees at 3? Come on people.

Not even close. All the guy can do is run 5 yards and fall down.

9 Matt Ryan Matthew Thomas "Matt" Ryan, nicknamed "Matty Ice," is an American football quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League.

"Future 10-time pro-bowler," huh? He's several seasons in and has only gotten worse. The league knows what he can do now, and it's quite easy for them to stop him. He'll be better eventually, when the older QBs like Rodgers, Brady, and Manning are done, but not quite yet.
