Did you feel the same way about Brees when he threw 22 picks in 2010? I wouldn't expect Rivers to drop with a healthy Gates and what he did in 2010 without Jackson.

Cam is a stud, but top 10 in NFL? Guys like Schuab, Ryan, Cutler, are better than him right now. Give cam a few more season and he'll be in top 5 for sure.

I feel like the only reason Cutler isn't on this list is as No. 8 is because he was injured during the second half. But this year, with being reunited with his old QB coach and Brandon Marshall, I think EA Sports might be raising his rating...

I think Stafford is better than Cutler. And I'm pretty sure Stafford had an injured finger in that game you're talking about.

First of all I'd go:

1 Aaron Rodgers
2 Drew Brees
3 Tom Brady

Brady is great, but he was showing a little age in the Super Bowl IMO. Regardless, he and Brees are inter-changeable.

Eli Manning - Great player, should be in the Top10, but I think 97 is a little high. He should be in the 92-95 range. He great, but his consistency ranges from good to great until the 4th quarter, then he becomes Elite.

Big Ben - Big Ben is a good QB, and Eli deserves to be ahead of him, but he had some struggles last year. Too many to warrant anything above a 92 IMO.

Peyton Manning - He had to drop based on his injury, but I think they got his rating right. Enough to show that he's still great, but age is catching up.

Tony Romo - Deserves to be in the Top10 after last year, had a amazing season.

Matthew Stafford - Had a good year, as would almost any QB throwing to Calvin Johnson, but he looked good throwing to his other team-mates as well. Definitely Top10.

Phillip Rivers - Okay, so Rivers has been a good QB, no one is going to argue against that, but last year was attrocious by Top10 QB standards, and he needs to take a ratings hit. Somewhere between 88 and 90. It wouldn't be the end of the world Charger fans, but keeping Norv Turner another year just might be.

Mike Vick - Vick probably deserves his 89 rating, but I still have trouble putting him into the Top10 un-contested.

Guess you could make an argument for:

Cam Newton - Is anyone going to argue he couldn't be Top10 this year? Had an AMAZING rookie season for a QB, in fact, it was the best ever! The Panthers lost Shockey, but got other pieces of their offense healthy. If Gary Barnidge, whom Cam hooked up with really well in camp this past season, can secure the #2 TE spot, I think the Panthers are looking good replacing Shockey. Between Gettis, Pilares, Adams, and Murphy, Carolina should have a good slot WR too.

Matt Schuab - Guy played like Superman last year. He was the real snub on this list. Kick Rivers out and but Schuab in IMO. The only knock he has on him was getting injured.

Ryan Fitzpatrick - Deserves some fringe love. Had a solid season last year, and he is forgotten about way too often.

Jay Cutler - Should be due for a better season this year. Has really shown himself in games, and crapped the bed less this year. If he can keep up his consistency with the Bears additions he could earn some fringe Top10 respect again.

Matt Ryan - Also deserving a little love. In past years he might be considered on the edge of the Top10. Until he proves that he hasn't peaked and can win a playoff game though I think he's camped right outside.

Tim Tebow - Naaw, I'm just messing with you. lol.

Stafford finger on his throwing hand was injured in that game and a couple of other games during the middle of the season. It affected his accuracy and the zip on his throws. Which led to a lot of INT during that short time span. Has soon as his fingered healed up, he went on a monster tear towards the end of the season.

Madwolf, you have a good list. But I think Fitzpatrick's second half was pretty awful. He is probably in that 17-20 range for me.

But I like your list.

Vick is better than Rivers Romo and Stafford imo. Big Ben and Eli both have multiple rings so they are not overrated to me.

he played the last 9 games with 2 cracked ribs when he was healthy the team was 5-2 so that says a lot
