Best NFL Quarterbacks of the 2016-2017 Season

The Top Ten
1 Aaron Rodgers Aaron Charles Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.

Accolade wise, especially after his fifth ring, I can't say anything about Brady negatively. As to his body of work, at least. But if you want a prototype for a masterful QB that has been the definition of consistency, but consistency in the highest degree of play we have ever seen for a career, it's gotta be Rodgers. Without a doubt the most talented QB of all time. He makes throws nobody else can make. I'm not talking Hail Mary passes that are throw and prays (although the throw fading backwards to Jeff Janis to push OT with the Cards may have been the best throw of all time), but the pass to Jared Cook in the NFC divisional round specifically, rolling out and delivering the most precise of throws into the smallest window imaginable, fitting it just across the sideline, where nobody else could touch it, to put the dagger in the hearts of Dallas fans everywhere (sorry). No one else could make that pass. Not today, not ever. Or the throw to I believe Davante Adams against the Eagles, ...more

I have statistically proven Rodger is the best of all time not Brady, manning, or Montana.

Haha Clinton-Dix

2 Tom Brady Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr., is a retired American football quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League. Brady is known for being the only quarterback in history to win 7 Super Bowls, and was often considered one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Brady was also frequently considered to be the biggest steal in NFL history as a late 6th round pick. He had previously played for the New England Patriots from 2000 to 2019.

Hate the Patriots, but gotta give in to this guy. Greatest QB of all time

Best rookie qb ever

14 Ryan Tannehill Ryan Timothy Tannehill III is an American football quarterback for the Tennessee Titans of the National Football League. He previously played for the Miami Dolphins from 2012 to 2018.
15 Matthew Stafford John Matthew Stafford is an American football quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams of the National Football League. 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 yards. In 2016, he also broke the record for most comebacks in a season with eight. Stafford maybe one of the better Lions Quarterbacks in recent memory, but his record on the road against winning teams may haunt him with the 5-46 record. He also one of two veteran active quarterbacks to have never won a playoff game the other being Andy Dalton. In 2021, he was traded to the Los Angeles Rams.

I cannot believe my matthew Stafford is at number 15. comeback victories? COME ON!
