...in order from first to worst on who'd you want starting for your team this playoffs:
Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Andy Dalton
Nick Foles
Colin Kaepernick
Andrew Luck
Peyton Manning
Cam Newton
Philip Rivers
Alex Smith
Aaron Rodgers
Russell Wilson
1. Rodgers
2. Brady
3. Rivers
4. Brees (originally had him at #3, but can't trust him enough on the road)
5. Fivehead (and I'm actually being generous here)
6. Wilson/Luck
7. Luck/Wilson
8. Foles
9.
10. Smith
11. Kaepernick
12. Dalton
I'm not as down on Russ as most are on here, nor am I as high on Luck, which is why they're basically tied, tbh....
1. Rodgers
2. Brady
3. Brees (Even on the road, his only bad playoff outing was at Chicago in 2006 iirc)
4. Rivers
5. Luck
6. Manning
7. Wilson
8. Newton
9. Foles
10. Smith
11. Dalton
12. Kaepernick
Peyton Manning
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Tom Brady
Philip Rivers
Andrew Luck
Nick Foles
Russell Wilson
Cam Newton
Colin Kaepernick
Alex Smith
Andy Dalton
Manning (biased)
Brady
Brees
Rodgers
Luck
Wilson
Rivers
Foles
Newton
Kap
Smith
Dalton
If my team was trailing by a TD or less but more than a FG with 5:00 remaining:
1. Andrew Luck
2. Tom Brady
3. Drew Brees
4. Aaron Rodgers
5. Peyton Manning
6. Nick Foles
7. Philip Rivers
8. Andy Dalton
9. Alex Smith
10. Russell Wilson
11. Cam Newton
12. Colin Kaepernick
Under that situation, I certainly wouldn't have that choke artist Fivehead anywhere near that high on the list, dude would be liable to throw a pick....
having anyone other than Rodgers at the top of the list
He's ranked there based on no body of work. Colin ranked #12 because we all saw him fail to cash in on a GW drive in the Super Bowl last year. I would have completed that pass to Crabtree, hold or no hold. You know, because I'm white.
Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Andrew Luck
Philip Rivers
Nick Foles
Andy Dalton
Alex Smith
Colin Kaepernick
Russell Wilson
Cam Newton
Peyton Manning
agreed
i've always liked Chatterjee and don't understand the hate he gets around here. I would have the Rivers/Brees/Manning etc group and he would be right behind them
tough question tbh. i'd probably go Rodgers - Brady at the top 2. the rest are so ing volatile its hard to gauge. Smith, Dalton, and Kaepernick are probably at the bottom, with Luck not much higher tbh.
it i'll try to put a list together
Rodgers
Brady
Manning
Brees
Wilson
Rivers
Foles
Newton
Luck
Kaepernick
Dalton
Smith
Rodgers
Brady
Manning
Brees
Foles
Luck
Wilson
Newton
Rivers
Kaepernick
Dalton
Smith
Rodgers
Brees
Brady
Luck
Rivers
Manning
Newton
Kaepernick
Dalton
Wilson
Foles
Smith
Why is Brady so high up on these lists? Peyton has won a superbowl more recently than Brady, and without cheating. Even with his choking, Peyton > Brady.
Rodgers
Brees
Peyton
Brady/Wilson
Luck
Rivers
Foles
Cam
Smith
Kaep
Dalton
1. Tom Brady - has beaten plenty of NFC defenses this year (TB/ATL/NO//PHI/DET/NYG) including playoff teams led by Brees/Foles
2. Colin Kaepernick - "corporate knowledge", chip on his shoulder from SB XLVII
3. Andrew Luck - tough/durable and I think would hold up well against CAR/NO/SEA defense
4. Drew Brees - of the two midgets, gotta go with a proven winner in the playoffs
5. Russell Wilson - up and coming , could make a lot of noise
6. Peyton Manning - could the be overdue for a season/career-ending injury? Intensity changes in the playoffs. Don't see him faring too well against CAR/NO/SEA defense
7. Aaron Rodgers - would rate higher if not for the collarbone injury
8. Nick Foles - impressed with his reads/decision making thus far. needs to beat DAL first to get in, though
9. Cam Newton - not sold, easily comes across as a mental chimp, just not that confident in him in pressure situations
10. Philip Rivers - not enough exposure to NFC defenses this year
11. Alex Smith - still a game manager, never fully confident in him during his time with SF
12. Andy Dalton - in his two career playoff appearances, has 0 TDs and 4 INTs, 25.1 and 15.1 QBR, respectively

One of the tiest takes of the season
Of all 12 qbs I'd say, yes, he has the best understanding of the system. Fair enough on the "chip/shoulder thing", could also argue A. Smith has more to prove
Brady lost to Carolina this year... and has not played Philiadelphia, Detroit, or the Gaints this year. Are you ing re ed? I'm glad you mentioned he played Tampa Bay. REALLY ups his credibility
Compared to last season, yes. Maybe attributed to sop re slump?
So even you admit he sucks this year but you still would only take Brady over him?
Stand corrected, although pre-season doesn't count
On this 49er team, yes. For me Brady seems like a plug-n-play caliber player. just makes good decisions overall.So even you admit he sucks this year but you still would only take Brady over him?
