Rank 'em

Each QB has a letter, simply put which letter you woudl take 1st and then 2nd and so on. Pretty simple game. Don't try and guess who is who just evaluate them on their numbers and let's see what people come up with. Each QB has been int he leagu anywhere from 4-8 seasons and has at least one playoff appearence.

it's tough as you can make a case for each one way or the other, but I made comp pct high on my importance list and td totals along with their to int ratio to determine....good drill though, kudos!

G, C, A, B, G, D-E (toss up)

Yards per attempt is the best metric to use. Lumpy, please provide that number and that's my ranking (higher is better, obviously).

I'll take E, G, C, F, A-B (tie), D.

I assume G is Eli?

Is the post messed up for everyone? I thought G was Big Ben.

First is C

Second is E (though I want to know the deal with the playoff losses - was it on the QB, did the kicker miss a bunch of kicks, etc.)

Third is B

Then G, D, A, and F

Also, I fixed the post.

And, if I ended up picking Eli in my top 3, I don't care.

I stand by what I say. Eli is an average QB. He had a nice run in calendar year 2008, especially the playoffs at the beginning of that calendar year. In most other years he has been shaky at best, prone to poor decision making and killer INTs.

The state of NFL QBs is such, however, that there really aren't that many QBs much better than Eli. That's the sad state of the QB position, not a testament to the greatness of Eli.
