<div>
<p>B. Where do you disagree with the rankings involved?</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:rgb(255,140,0)">Bradshaw is ranked way to low- he won 4 and lost none. I'd put him 2nd behind Montana, and Brady 3rd.</span></strong></p>
<p>C.  Who do you think will join this list this year?</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(255,140,0)"><strong>   I don't think it will be anybody new. I happen to think Seattle will get beat if they make it to the Superbowl by Brady or Peyton. Longshot guess would be Romo or Stafford, the only teams who could upend the Seahawks before the SB.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)"><strong>Yea, I would not put any money on Romo going anywhere.  He would really have to change his stripes.  And unless the Lions get Ravens like hot, I don't see them coming out of the NFC.  Best bets in the NFL are Seattle/Carolina/NO/SF.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)"><strong>In the AFC, yea, it is likely going to be another Manning/Brady  mano a mano contest.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)"><strong>Dalton?  P-shaw. Luck?  Some day, but not this day.  Smith?  Nyet.  Flacco...I would eat my shirt if they repeat.  Tannehill?  Might as well say Weeden.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color:#8b4513"><strong>It's not a bad list, but Brad Johnson had a way better career than Hostetler or Williams.</strong></span></p>

<p>Does this list only include how the QB performed in the SB? Or their entire career?</p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">I would say it is based on their entire careers given that Johnny U is so high and most of his career was pre-SB</span></p>

<p>A/ I'd put Flacco anywhere from 20-25. Although he had one hell of a postseason last year, his career stats aren't all that spectacular.  He definitely did what he needed to win last year's SB, but he also rode the leadership and skill of the defense.</p>

<p>B. If it's based on QB skills overall and career numbers, I think Rodgers should be higher, at least jumping Eli.  If anything, I would swap the two on the list, regardless of Eli winning two SB's.</p>

<p>C. If the playoffs started today, the teams in the playoffs would be (with their respective QB's listed):</p>

<p>NFC: Seattle (Russell WIlson), New Orleans (Drew Brees*), Detroit (Matt Stafford), Dallas (Tony Romo), Carolina (Cam Newton) and San Francisco (Colin Kaepernick) </p>

<p>AFC: Denver (Peyton Manning*), New England (Tom Brady*), Indianapolis (Andrew Luck), Cincinnati (Andy Dalton), Kansas City (Alex Smith) and Baltimore (Joe Flacco*)</p>

<p><span style="color:rgb(128,0,0)">I think the cream will rise to the top....which means another potential Brady/P.Manning/Brees title.   The question is whether or not we will see some fresh cream in our Super Bowl coffee with Wilson/Newton </span></p>

<p>I put an asterisk by past SB championship QB's.  Theoretically, there's a 33% chance that a former SB champion QB will win again this year.  I think Denver, New England, and New Orleans all have good chances of winning based on their QB alone.  Seattle is a scary good team overall.</p>

<p>One team that I wouldn't count out is Carolina.  Honestly, I think they have what it takes to make a SB run.  Call me crazy, but they are my darkhorse right now.  They have a top 3 defense in the NFL, a consistent run game, and Cam has improved his leadership by leaps and bounds. </p>

<p>To answer the question, I think Cam and WIlson have the best chance of being added, while the 3 other QB's I listed have a good chance at moving up on the list.</p>

<p>A.  Right now, Flacco would be ranked between Plunkett and Williams.  Somewhere on the bottom rung.</p>

<p>B. I have always been of the opinion that Steve Young has always been overrated. I also think they underrate Rodgers.  On this list, hell I would probably have those 2 switch positions, putting Young at about 18 and Rodgers in the Top 10.</p>

<p>C. In theory this list may not expand this year because there are 6 guys on the list who could possibly repeat:  Eli/Peyton/Brees/BR/Brady/Rodgers.   Eli/BR/Rodgers though right now are on the outside looking in on the playoff race. Peyton has the best chance.....but in my opinion the guy that could join this list is Russell Wilson.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/370139</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/370139</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:33:19 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
