Let's talk about good QBs now

Saints have scored more points in losses since 2004 than any other team in the NFL. No QB does more in losses than Brees. But he's getting older. I can see running him down a list of top 10.

Tyrod Taylor wouldn't even make my top 20. Cousins had a good season, but top 10 QB? Meh. If we're only basing it on last year, I can see Palmer as a top 5 QB. Looking at his career as a whole though, he's a middle of the pack QB at bet

I'm not sure he'd be in my top 30.

Dalton gets way too much hate, he's a very good QB

He seemed to be progressing last year as well... and for longer than just a little hot streak... which is a good sign for a young QB to start taking another step.

But he's mostly just pretty good as opposed to very. I don't know that the distinction seems meaningful to others but it is me.

... and I'd take him over Flacco pretty handily.

A couple things hurt Dalton's perception imo. Every QB has bad games and bad moments, but his have come at the absolute worst times on the biggest stages. Give him credit for making the playoffs every year. We certainly haven't felt what that's like in ages. He's been abysmal in the playoffs. And he doesn't have any outstanding trait. He's pretty much average to above average in most categories. He's an average sized QB with average arm strength. Has some athleticism, but wouldn't be called fast. Accuracy and pocket presence are good, but you wouldn't call him elite in either. He doesn't have much wow factor.

Maybe, you or other should make a list.  You could say, first I have to start with                       .  Then somebody else can make his or her list.  Not many her's left, but you get what I mean.  I mentioned Cam because when I started to make my list, I noticed his name wasn't even on the prospective list you made.  So, I just quick posted Cam was the first name I would start with to get credit for putting the best QB in the league's name up there first.  I wasn't wanting an trouble.  I avoid trouble at all costs.  

Then I made my list.  If Peyton Manning was still playing, I am sure his name would be up there on some lists.  I even included Mariota on my list as a possible top ten because I think he could be there.  Brees I think is getting old.  Somebody is going to figure out that paying QBs such a high percentage of your cap money will create a pretty sorry team down the road.  John Elway played QB, he knows.  That's why he's putting a journeyman or a rookie behind center on a championship team.  

You have a great topic started, don't ruin it trying to start a bitch slap fest.

 

does that guy have a target tattoo on where to slap him?

I think Dalton's athleticism and elusiveness are vastly underrated.

What's our criteria? The last 5-10 years? The last 5-10 with a big emphasis on last year? Only last year? Because any grading approach that counts last year at all & doesn't have Cam in the top 5 is flawed. He was a no doubt about it top 5 last year.

"BTW, for purposes of clarity, we are talking who, right now, is the best QB of his team, taking everything into consideration (arm talent, leadership, intangibles, etc.).  So not a "who would you take to start a franchise with" question or anything like that.  Don't worry about how many years they have left or how much potential they have.  Simple - who are the best QBs right now?"
