Good point, your defense greatly helps your field position, clock management and other small but important things in winning a game.

No fun always starting to play from inside your own 20 yard line.

But Rivers May have had the best team of any of the three with the 2006 Chargers.

He was bad and A boneheaded defensive play....and a 14-2 team lost at home in the divisional round to the Pats

Been down this Rabbit Hole before.

Obviously The Perv is a first Ballot HOF.

Manning is an above average QB with two SB trophies.

Rivers is an excellent QB with no SB trophies.

So it depends on where you want to put the emphasis on those two. I'd much rather have Rivers than Manning on my team.

But they all pale in comparison with Kellen Winslow Jr. ?

Good call on the Rivers-Marino comparison SDBacker.

Eli was solid but not spectacular.

Also look at the teams they've been on over their careers, the better teams over time do boost quarterback numbers.

And on the flip side quarterbacks performance can help team performance over time.

One thing too their career numbers are pretty close separated maybe by SB trophies.

I would say BR had the most consistent good talent to work with EM kind of up and down talent but PR is the hardest to judge he's had decent talent surrounding him -but- not the results to show for it....some maybe his fault.

As far as who I would take as a starter 1. BR  2. EM  3. PR.    

BR also won THREE conference championships, to PR zero. EM played out of his mind in the 2 SB runs, but he was pretty below average many of his other seasons. 

Ben is ahead of Eli in the pecking order. 

Rivers is essentially Marino and I s the perfect comparison when arguing for his induction. If you have a place for Marino you have a place for Rivers.  Rivers will likely surpass Marino in TDS and yards this season.  And He had a much better QBR

All three are in 

All in their respective primes:

 If I needed a QB to win a big game I’m going with Manning (he beat an unblemished Patriot team in the SB).

if it is Sunday week 1 and I’m picking a QB to play out the year give me Ben.

if I have no running game and a shaky defense and I need my QB to put up video game numbers and put the ball up a lot give me Rivers 

If i went back into time and had to redraft the three I probably flip the order
