CHFF ranks the Active QB's by win loss percentage...

[DarrylS]

Guess who is on top by a long shot, #12 with a .787 winning percentage... followed by Rivers, Rothlisberger, Orton, McNabb and then the beloved Peyton and finally the savior of the NY Jets Favre..

ONE - We almost forgot Brett Favre! In our initial version of this story, published Saturday morning, we forgot to include Favre. The reason we forgot is that the base list of regular-season wins and losses we used to kick-start this complilation was issued by the NFL a couple weeks ago, when Favre was still "retired." We've added him to the list here.

TWO - There's certainly no shock at the No. 1 spot. Tom Brady has won 78.7 percent of his games in New England, the best winning percentage of all time for a quarterback with so many starts under his belt. Even with the loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, the numbers remain truly awe-inspiring.
Brady, for example, was won 14 playoff games in just seven years as a starting quarterback and in six postseason appearances.
Compare that to Favre, who has won more games than an QB in history. He boasts 12 playoff wins in 16 years as an NFL starter and in 11 postseason apperances.
In an average season, Brady's Patriots have won 14.3 games and lost 3.9.

THREE - San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers in the No. 2 position may be something of a surprise. He's lost just nine of 36 games in his first two seasons as an NFL starter. And three of those nine losses came the juggernaut-tastic Patriots. Rivers seems to have what it takes to ultimately lead his team to its first-ever Super Bowl crown. (By the way, we realize Rivers did not play the entire game against the Colts in last year's divisional playoffs. But he played the vast majority of the game so earns credit for the victory. We couldn't start issuing portions of victories. If you were the primary QB, you get the win or the loss.)

FOUR - The biggest shocker is probably the fact that not one but two Chicago quarterbacks currently count themselves among the eight winningest quarterbacks in the NFL (albeit with a small number of games under their belts), sandwiching Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers Peyton Manning, Donovan McNabb and Brett Favre. That Chicago defense, not to mention special teams wonder boy Devin Hester, have really done a miraculous job over the past few seasons to win consistently with two under-performing players at QB. Typically, quarterbacks have the biggest impact on whether a team wins or loses. The Bears of recent vintage have been one of the rare exceptions. But had they fielded even a solid NFL starter, instead of guys like Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman, the 21st-century Bears might be walking around with a couple Super Bowl rings right now.

FIVE - It's damn hard to win the playoffs. After all, you don't get a second shot to win in a given year. Lose and you're done. So only eight of the 53 active quarterbacks on the list below have a winning record in the postseason: Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Donovan McNabb, Favre, Jake Delhomme, Brad Johnson, Kurt Warner and Eli Manning. Six of those eight QBs have won Super Bowls, and all eight have led a team to the Super Bowl.
