The NFL's Top 10 Quarterbacks

Here's another top 10 list this time counting down the NFL's Top 10 Quarterbacks.                          
Note: I didn't include Peyton Manning because he was injured all last year but he would make the list if I had.

10. Michael Vick- Vick starts the list off at number 10 and even after an injury plagued year it's hard to find a QB who gives defensive coordinators more headaches then him. Vick is the eagles most valuable player and just couldn't catch a break last year when it came to the injuries. There was times when the eagles had a good chance to win a game but would lose because Vick had to leave because of an injury. He's the best dual threat QB the NFL has ever seen and there is no doubting the talent he is. I look for him to have a pro bowl type year in the 2012-2013 season.

9. Phillip Rivers- Rivers didn't have a great year last year. The Chargers looked like they would be a force in the AFC to start the year but after the bye week they went on a 6 game losing streak and eliminated any shot they had at a playoff appearance. Rivers didn't look like himself but then again there was times where his star receiver Vincent Jackson would disappear in games and he even had some 1 catch games. Still, Rivers throws one of the best deep balls in the game and should be back to form next year even without the Tampa bound Jackson.

8. Tony Romo- Romo might have the most critics of anyone on this list. The biggest knock on him is that he can't win a big game. He hasn't proven that wrong yet but he does put the Cowboys in good situations to win games. He doesn't get much help from the running game, the O line or in some cases his kicker, but Romo is a QB a lot of teams would love to have.

7. Matt Stafford- Stafford was a monster to say the least last season throwing for over 5000 yards and 41 touchdowns. Yes, he does have Calvin Johnson catching balls from him but Stafford has a rocket arm and is a great fit with Calvin. They have a chance to be one of the most lethal QB-WR combos to ever play the game. The only thing that will prevent Stafford from becoming an elite QB and having seasons similar to the one he had last season is his health. He is injury prone but if he stays healthy Stafford is one of the best QBs in the game.

6. Ben Roethlisberger- Big Ben doesn't always have the video game stats but he's a winner. He has two super bowls and has the traits of a lot of big time QB's. As a Bengals fan I have to deal with him twice a year and it's not fun. It seems like every game he extends plays by avoiding a sack and makes a big time play. You can always count on him playing through an injury as well. If you need a win in a big game he would be up there on the list of QB's I'd take.

5. Cam Newton- Some might think this is too high for Newton but after the year he just had as only a rookie it's hard to have him any lower. He had one of the greatest rookie seasons ever and revitalized the Panthers team. All you have to do is look at what Steve Smith last year. He was disgruntled and hadn't cracked 1000 yards since 08-09 but this past season he had one of his best years in the NFL and that was because of Newton. 4000+ yards throwing and 21 touchdowns are impressive enough by itself for a rookie but when you add in his 700 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns you have to wonder how good this Cam is going to be in 2 or 3 years.

4. Eli Manning- Fresh off his second Super Bowl victory it's obvious Eli is elite. Everyone wants to mention stats when talking about Eli but he makes up for his lack of big time stats with his ability to win games in the clutch. His 15 4th quarter touchdowns last year was most all time. And if you have home field in a playoff game just make sure Eli is not the opposing QB because it's almost sure to be Giant victory

3. Drew Brees- Brees is another guy who can probably be number 1 on this list and nobody would fight it but I have him at 3. He he had a crazy year last year setting the record for yards thrown with 5,476 and leading the league in touchdowns with 46. Some people thought Drew Brees was too small to be an elite QB in this league but all his critics have been proven wrong.

2. Tom Brady- Not much to say about Brady that hasn't been already said. The guy rarely has an elite WR and still puts up great numbers. His teams are always super bowl contenders and he probably holds down this spot on a lot of top 10 QB of all time lists let alone a list of the top 10 QB's coming into this season.

1. Aaron Rodgers- I don't think you can go wrong with Brady in this spot but I put Rodgers here. 45 touchdowns and 6 interceptions is just ridiculous. He had a disappointing playoff loss to the Giants but it's hard to look at his numbers and not have him 1 on this list. He does have a super bowl and his QB rating last year was 122.5 for the year and that probably won't be topped a while. You can argue he has the best WR core in the game but even so he still puts up amazing numbers.
