metzelaars_lives Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Decided to power rank the starting qb's in the NFL. Well I should clarify- the 23 guys I deemed legitimate NFL starters. And understand this is not where I am ranking these guys as all-time qb's but rather who I would want as my qb this weekend. Have at it: 1. Manning 2. Brady 3. Rodgers 4. Brees 5. Wilson 6. Rivers 7. Ryan 8. Luck 9. Foles 10. Newton 11. Stafford 12. Roethlisberger 13. Romo 14. Cutler 15. Flacco 16. Dalton 17. A. Smith 18. Kaepernick 19. Cousins 20. Palmer 21. Eli 22. Hoyer 23.

DDD Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 If the beard fails, then EJ has to get himself married and wear his wedding band on the field. It's only weird if it doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 He's not. Believe me he is. What do Edwards and Manuel seem to have in common? Can't get WR's real NFL numbers. Can't put up real NFL passing numbers. Fitz was able to do it. We have a top 5 WR corps in the league talent wise. There is no excuse for them not have real NFL numbers. Manuel is literally costing Woods and Mike Williams money on their next contracts as we speak. All that being said, I wouldn't trade Manuel for Fitzpatrick but today, Fitzpatrick is a better NFL QB. Actually it's not really that close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very skeptical but I need to see him hit his WR's and rely less on checkdowns (I realize it's cliché at this point). Two things are true: a) Ryan Fitzpatrick was not our long-term answer at QB and they did right thing by replacing him as their starter and b) EJ Manuel has yet to perform at the level that Fitzpatrick did for us from 2010-2012). The two are not mutually exclusive my friend. This creative redundancy is another boring thread from someone who's just bored on a plane. This had nothing to do with Manuel vs. Fitzpatrick ya strunz. I was looking to see peoples' feedback on the rankings in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDD Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm not giving up on EJ just yet but he has shown little to nothing to this point. If he was signed as a free agent and not had any smoke blown up his ass being a 1st round pick, 9 out of 10 Bllls fans would be calling for the back-up. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kinda the point. And comparing EJ to Fitz at this point is just silly. I loved Fitz but we know how that story ends. We still don't know about EJ's.

Just sayin' Man I really did not intend for this to be an EJ thread. With respect to EJ though, my guess is that my take on him is pretty similar to the vast majority of Bills fans: the jury is still out, I am willing to ride it out a while but my gut is that it's not happening. You need a new pair of football eyes if that is your assessment. If you think EJ has played at a level higher than Fitz played in say, 2010, you have lost your proverbial marbles. And PLEASE do not talk to me about their record that season. This is a vastly superior football team they have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Qbs don't make it. But maybe if everyone got off his sack, it might be a little easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think that I'd take Foles over Luck. Foles is a winner while Luck is just very good to excellent. Foles is like Flutie with actual QB ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
