Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Sal Capaccio has just been on with Shoop and listed the "in his mind" 11 "good" quarterbacks in the NFL. The list was (in no order): Brady P. Manning Brees Rodgers Rothlisberger Rivers Luck Wilson Romo Ryan Newton Ryan and Romo were the ones he felt least confident on and the two he said just missed the list were Stafford and Flacco. Ok TBDers - flame away. No flaming. Most of the list is close to inarguable. Where I would differ is I don't see how you can leave Eli Manning or Joe Flacco off, especially Joe Flacco, from a list of "good" QB. In contrast, while he's inarguably good, Romo has yet to prove himself when it counts, post-season. Wilson has won everything, thanks to a marvelous defense and stout run game, and he's been pretty clutch - but if you watch him pass against elite D at times, it's like "seriously? Seriously?". Newton likewise - he blows hot and cold and has yet to really prove himself when the lights are bright in the post-season. So I think it's tough to argue they belong on a list while E. Manning and Flacco are left off. I would put them all on, myself, and say there are about 14 good QB in the league and everyone else is trying to find someone better.

Big Blitz Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 The top 11...in order...as of 8/27/15 Rodgers Luck Brady Peyton Brees Ben Wilson Eli Rivers Ryan Romo Newton, Stafford, Flacco honorable mention.
SJDK Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) My list as they currently are: Elite: Rogers Brady Great: Brees Luck Rothlisberger Rivers Romo Very good: Flacco Ryan Wilson P.Manning (as he will be this season, not career) Foles Average: Stafford E. Manning Kaepernick Newton Dalton Palmer Tannehill A. Smith Bridgewater Cutler Sanchez (let's face it, Bradford might have 1 full game before he 's out) Marginal starters: McCown Hoyer Mariotta Winston Cassel/Taylor/Manuel Bortles Gino RG ME Edited August 27, 2015 by SJDK
jumbalaya Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 P. Manning Brees Rodgers Rothlisberger Flacco Wilson E. Manning Brady ---- Ryan Rivers Luck That's the list. Newton is off because he hasn't won in the playoffs and is too inconsistent. Romo is off but could replace Ryan or Rivers. Ryan, Luck and Rivers barely make it. Luck barely makes it? He'd be the first pick today if all teams were drafting teams from a pool of all players.

He'd be the first pick today if all teams were drafting teams from a pool of all players.it isn't a list in orderBut he throws a lot of picks & has no playoff wins. There are many better
TheFunPolice Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) it isn't a list in order But he throws a lot of picks & has no playoff wins. There are many better Did the Colts get a bye to the AFC Title Game last year? Edited August 27, 2015 by TheFunPolice
Big C Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 it isn't a list in order But he throws a lot of picks & has no playoff wins. There are many better He is 3-3 in the playoffs and his career TD:INT is 86:43
Steve Billieve Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 That list just made me realize how bad our qbs have been lately. I keep hearing people talk about average qb play, but I can add 5 to that list pretty easy . . .
HamSandwhich Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Eli Manning may be the most disrespected QB in the history of the league. Why? He's been horrible recently IMO.
truth on hold Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Eli Manning may be the most disrespected QB in the history of the league.Few years ago I would have said that. But his deteriorating performance from last year carrying thru to this preseason has me seriously doubting the guy

GunnerBill Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Few years ago I would have said that. But his deteriorating performance from last year carrying thru to this preseason has me seriously doubting the guy The last two years actually. He did pick up a bit backend of last season but if Eli doesn't play well this year and the Giants are not a play-off team I gotta believe that there is a fair chance the Coughlin - Manning era is over.
