Are we basing Manning's lead on Super Bowl wins alone? The eye test? Pre-career hype? Name?


Brees had Sean Payton for most of his career. They made each other. It's one of the best symbiotic relationships in NFL history.

Unfortunately for Brees it does mean that he can pretty much never be evaluated on his own merits to the degree that Rodgers or Manning (or heck, even Brady) can.

Those four are comfortably the top four of that era though.

Hard to argue this. Even though it ultimately didn't count, I believe this is the single most incredible throw I have ever seen, and I think he's the only QB in the history of the league who could make this throw.



He dropped it in a bucket about 50 yards downfield across his body while having his legs wrapped up. I've seen this play hundreds of times and I still don't know how he did it.

I feel like right now everyone remembers his dwindling years, but prime Rodgers was the most talented QB I’ve ever seen. I caught Marino from like 95-retirement which was at the end of his career, but people who have seen both say he’s right there with Marino in his prime.

Flick of the wrist bombs, accuracy off the charts, just threw a gorgeous ball.

I’ve got Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Brees, Big Ben for QBs after 2000

I have a feeling when he retires, he's going to retire to a hut in the middle of the desert getting blasted out of his mind every day.


Rogers loves attention way too much for that

Where does he rank among the 00s/10s QBs? 3rd after manning /Brady? Higher than Wilson?





Brady
Manning
Rodgers
Big Ben
Brees


His journey has been something, the mania of the discount double check was fricking nuts, he was easily the most marketable player in the league, and then he seemed to stop giving a shite what people thought. lol:

Hey 1 Super Bowl win each. Wilson went to one more.


I’m not sure Wilson would make the top 25 quarterbacks ever. Nice guy and all but what are we doing here?

He's definitely going to have a role in a podcast or at a minimum do a weekly appearance on Pat McAfee Show. Guy knows ball and he has some fun takes every once in a while.

That sideline pass he threw against the Cowboys to me was one of the greatest throws I ever seen.

Brees had better stats and an offense built around him. Big Ben has 2 rings and I'd rather Ben with the ball in crunch time. pretty simple

I’d take Rodgers over Brees and Manning at their peaks. Aaron could move a lot in the pocket and create. Far more of a weapon than the pure pocket passers of Brees/Manning
