Top 10 Best NFL Quarterbacks of 2011
Easily the best quarterback ever, and it's to the point where it isn't debatable. And I am from California, growing up as a 49ers fan. A sad day to admit this, but yes, Brady is unmatched.
Brady should win at least two more Super Bowls as he emerges as the greatest quarterback of his generation. He's just that good on the turf.
Did you see that game against the Broncos? He absolutely trashed them and put Tebow Mania to bed once and for all!
Hello? Passer rating of 122.5. Easily the best on the list. Brady is good, but only because he has great protection and can stand in the pocket all day. It seems like every time Brady throws, it's to a wide-open receiver, whereas Rodgers routinely makes great passes into tight coverage.
Yes, everyone on this list is very good, but Rodgers is the best (especially in 2011).
Very well deserved. Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. The proof? When was the last time you saw the Packers reach 15-1 for a chance at a second Super Bowl victory?
If you vote for Peyton Manning, there's no way he's the best because he doesn't even play, and he's playing on one of the worst teams in the league. Drew Brees beat his team, and I bet he could beat the Patriots and most likely the Steelers. Go Saints!
This guy is a freak. Tim Lincecum should give him his nickname. Over 5,000 passing yards last season? Wow!
Ok, let's be serious here. Peyton Manning is the poster boy for the new millennium. He personifies everything the NFL stands for. Tom Brady broke his 49 TD record by 1 score. Brady took over 100 more attempts than Manning and played 1 more full game. Manning had 49 scores and over 4500 yards in 15 games. That's an average of 3.26 TDs a game and 300 yards a game. If he finished his 16th game instead of 2 attempts, he would have had 4800 yards and 52 - 53 TDs. Brady in a "Run Up The Score" offense scored 50 TDs and 4800 yards in 16 games. Manning had over a 121 passer rating and Brady had 117. Not to downplay Brady, but Manning was more efficient in his attempts.
This kid was a quarterback savant since he was born. Heir to a Pro Bowl QB dad, he was nurtured into what would become the BEST QUARTERBACK EVER! He was a high school phenom and scouted by every college. He was a standout in college and finally drafted NUMBER 1 OVERALL. This stuff is what stories are made of, but this is actually true.
Manning transformed a 3-13 team into the largest turnaround ever into a 13-3 team. Sure, Manning had a few disappointing losses in the playoffs, but a majority of them really weren't his fault. Close analysis shows that multiple times Manning was put in a situation where he could have won the game on a last-second drive. He threw perfectly in a majority of situations (such as in the regular season), but usually some receiver or "idiot kicker" messed up. Vanderjagt missed like 2-3 game-winning kicks, and several receivers dropped the balls in key moments "Dallas Clark." If he had won those games, the momentum would have carried over into the next game, and he would have more playoff success and more rings.
Brady will have his rings over Manning, no doubt, Manning might win one more, but that does not discredit his success. He is the only quarterback in NFL history to practice perfection year in and year out. Whether his defense sucks or his offense and his... more
I know that Rivers stepped into the QB position after Brees left. Truly, he might not be the best ever, but he sure as hell has the heart and drive to win. I loved watching Cutler leave Denver. Also, the SD win against the highest paid QB, Eli Manning, was sweeter than honey.
Yes, I am a San Diego fan and have been since the late 80s. My soon-to-be husband is a lifetime Steelers fan. Life some days really sucks at my house. But at least we all know SD is playing to finish this year with a team and backing that a QB needs. Wow. LT and our Energizer bunny Sproles. What an athlete. God bless.
Matty Ice is the ultimate professional and clutch quarterback. Matt thrives in tense situations and does not get his due credit. He's already been in the Pro Bowl in a very difficult NFC, but that's not enough. Please respect this man!
The guy's rushing is second to none. Just a freak of a player and thoroughly deserved to be the return player of the year. MVP next year for sure.
"Ben is a tank." He probably takes some incredible hits and keeps on going. Whether his continuing to play when injured is the right thing in the long run is questionable, but you have to admire his courage and tenacity. His ability to extend the play keeps many Pittsburgh drives alive.
Excellent player who has offensive skills. Give it a few years, and he will be better than Peyton Manning.
The #1 overall pick in 2009 selected by The Detroit Lions, Stafford has a critical acclaim in his stats.
Stafford is the fastest player in NFL history to reach 30,000 passing... read more
Superman is probably the best rookie quarterback in the NFL ever! Cam Newton is slowly working his way into the Hall of Fame.
The second highest-rated QB of all time and he "sucks"? He had a 102 rating this year, fourth in the NFL, and he "sucks"? If a player has a 102 rating, HE is doing HIS job. If anyone had any type of brain, they would realize he isn't the problem. They get their sports information from The View or ESPN, which broadcast very similar sports information.
Romo blew ONE game in the playoffs. The Seattle game. I'd love to know what other game he blew and it was all on him. Anyone? If you say the Giants, did you forget Pat Crayton dropping two fourth-quarter passes that would have sealed the game for Dallas? Look it up, Brandon Jacobs even admitted if Crayton catches those passes, Dallas wins. People that don't know football just blame Romo, though.
Oh, and the Vikings playoff loss. Romo was sacked NINE times. So I guess he doesn't need an offensive line to win, right? You tell me a QB that has been sacked 9 times and still won a game. I can't think of one right now. People just need to learn the facts, look at stats, and turn off ESPN. He is shattering Cowboys records and, like I said, he is the second highest-rated QB in NFL history right now.
It takes more than one player to win a championship. Ben Roethlisberger got handed 2 titles by the officials. He had a rating of 21.6 in the Seattle Super Bowl but "has a ring." Now everyone thinks he is so good because he "has a ring." You mean to tell me that all anyone had to do was go out and put up a 21.6 rating and they could have won a title that day, and they would be considered "great" because they won a title? Come on. Every single QB in the NFL could have won a title that day. Heck, I could have played and put up a 21.6 rating! Championships are team-won, not player-won. People that know football know that.
I'd just love an explanation about a guy that's the second highest-rated QB ever is not doing his job and he sucks. I just don't get that. And before anyone brings up the Lions game and... more
He has better stats than half of these players and is also good in the clutch.
