Re: TOP 5 QBs

Hoge is an idiot.

No he isn't....No one breaks down film on line blocking and running plays better than Hoge.He's way too steeler-centric,but he's less shrill and more enthusiastic about football,than any other of the so-called experts on ESPN.....he and jaws are terrific on NFL match-up(which should be an hour long,imo).:rocker:

Re: TOP 5 QBs

Absurd that he has Manning ahead of Brady and Ben first.

He's a Steeler which means he probably thinks Brady cheated them out of 2 Superbowls. He's far too biased towards one team to be a national analyst, in my opinion, but it is what it is.

Re: TOP 5 QBs

What the hell??? Tom Brady was voted number 1 of all the players by the players and he is ranked number 3??? Big Ben is nowhere as good as Brady.

The Rankings are laughable.

Even more laughable is anyone who gets worked up over them and "can't believe" this or that.

I'm sure he has Bradshaw #1 on his overall list.

1. Brady
2. Manning
3. Rodgers
4. Brees
5. Rivers

That's my list. I like it more.

I like your list but I could see putting Rothlesberger over Rivers getting to 3 SB's and winning 2 is nothing to sneeze at.

I agree you can make the case for Roethlisberger over Rivers at 5. My theory works around the fact that if you put R-Burger on a team without the Steelers D, he'd be in a world of hurt. Rivers despite his ****ty throwing action, would be a top 5 QB on any team IMO.

Re: TOP 5 QBs

Aaron Rodgers is number one because he won the Superbowl? I think not.
While he may definitely be in the top 5 he is not number one.

REMEMBER THESE ARE ALL IN MY OPINION

Tom Brady - Joe Montana of this era, mirror image that will surpass Old Joe
Peyton Manning - Dan Marino of this era, will perhaps pass him as well
Aaron Rodgers - Brett Favre of this era, but will not pass him lol
Ben Roethlisberger - Trying his best to outdo Terry Bradshaw both have rings
Phillip Rivers - Even after LT left, he quietly led the league in many passing categories for few years now.

I'd say Manning is more Favre-esq than Rodgers.

Re: TOP 5 QBs

Hoge goes through hours and hours of game tape and while he may be able to give a reasonable argument why Ben is number 1, he is out of his mind if he thinks people who are non-Steeler fans will take him seriously.

Brady-Manning. Manning-Brady.

Those two are at the top and no one comes close to them.
