So what are the criteria for this? Is it just best quarterbacks up to this point in this season? Is it who we think is the actual top 10 quarterbacks? So is it play based or reputation based because that would produce two totally different lists.

Vick>Brees?

Yeah, should have specified. Your opinion up to this point in the season.

(I listed Brady to avoid outrage and panic in the streets. He's 27th in QB rating this season so I really shouldn't have put him in the top 10. But it's a bone for the Bradyites.)

Vick>Brees?

Brees is just a system QB. As such, he's low on my list.

That's odd because you have Peyton number 1 and he's so spoiled the Broncos had to learn his system instead of him learning theirs. I'm not sure what quarterback is not in an offensive system anyways

Okay, rant coming....

All of this "system quarterback" jibberish has got to stop! Every team has an offensive identity, scheme or game plan. It takes a skilled and talented quarterback to execute it well. Drew Brees, Tom Brady and others are elite athletes who use their atheleticism, brains, mechanics and timing to get the job done. Even if the scheme or system is great in design, it will fail if you don't have the proper skillset to execute the plan. There are certainly some quarterbacks that are asked to do more than others based on their experience or talent, but in my opinion there is no such thing as a system that renders a mediocre quarterback to "great" status.

Rant over...

Romo is completing over 72% of his passes for over 1000 yards, 8 TDs to 1 INT. How is he not in the top 10? I hate the Cowboys as much as the next guy, but come on.

Think what a real QB would do with the Cowboys

He's a great QB, but he did lead the league in INTs last year.

I never understood all this system QB crap anyway. To win you need a great system, great QB or not.

1. Manning
2. Rivers
3. Brady
4. Rodgers
5. Brees
6. Stafford
7. Luck
8. Cutler
9. Romo
10. Ryan

This one actually looks pretty good. It's pretty tough to argue the top two based solely on the first 4 games.
