Rodgers. He's in his prime and has simply the best arm in football. Plus he's got wheels.
Peyton Manning's career playoff record is 9-11 including 8 one and dones. Joe Montana he isn't.
Wait, Eli Manning he isn't either.
I do agree that Manning have choke in the post season.
Flacco doesn't get any respect at all, he beat the two best QB in the AFC in the playoff last year. They ever said Tony Romo is better then Joe Flacco, Flacco like Manning and Brady won have an SB and Romo only bang Jessica Simpson.
Hoisting the Lombardi trophy or banging Jessica Simpson? Tough call.
Yeah, there's no denying that Flacco put up one of the best playoff performances for a QB in NFL history. 11 TDs and 0 Ints in 4 playoff games.
With Rodgers, his arm talent is so good that even a casual observer of football notices it. Not only does he have a rifle for an arm, he's pinpoint accurate. Then you add extremely mobile to the mix. He's the best QB in football.
Rodgers currently has the highest career passer rating in NFL history. What sets apart the great QBs from the best is how they perform when it counts the most. Rodgers career playoff passer rating: 103.6 (6-3 playoff record). Peyton Manning's career playoff passer rating: 88.4 (9-11 playoff record).
It's pretty foolish to judge a player based on a small amount of cherry picked games, like the playoffs. Everybody realizes that, right? It's yet even more foolish to judge individual players based on Superbowls.
It's especially so when the context, strength of their teammates, quality of the opponents faced, and the era they played in vary so dramatically. Not to mention that nothing more than dumb ass luck can play a huge role in a small sample size of games, let alone one game.
If a safety doesn't miss one single play last year where he makes the most boneheaded move of his career Flacco is thought of as an average QB at best right now and the Ravens go home early last year. That was from ONE SINGLE PLAY. Flacco isn't magically any better or worse as a player because of that, it's judged by the public that way.
A few plays go differently and Brady and the Patriots might have won only one or maybe even zero Superbowls in the Pat's Brady era. Nobody hardly seem to remember that they barely eaked out the Superbowls they did actually win. Ironically the Superbowls where they were the better team, even being a historically good and dominate team they lost.
Back when Montana was with the 49ers half the QBs in the league would have probably had a decent change to go to Superbowls if they could have been on that team and been coached by Walsh.
Romo is quietly one of if not the greatest QB in Cowboy's history. Statistically it could be argued he might be the best, even adjusting for era. It's even more impressive when it's considered where he was drafted. He has to be one of the most nonsensically and irrationally judged people in sports.

Woulda, shoulda coulda. It's not foolish to judge QBs by how they perform in the playoffs. What better barometer is there than when it counts the most? What good is it to throw for 4500 yards and 40+ TDs in the regular season when you stink it up in the playoffs and are bounced in game 1?

Cherry picked amount of games? Are you nuts, this guy fails 90% of the time when it matters most, that tells me hes a good regular season QB but it also tells me that the dude can't handle pressure. The best QB's can handle the heat and perform. I'm sick of that douche getting credit he doesn't deserve, he should have 3 fucking Lombardies right now.
I started both Manning and Welker on my fantasy team and the two of them combined have scored 78 points
dammit, fuck denver

The big thing to take from that game is Peyton Manning has to throw a ridiculous amount of TD passes this year. If not, the Broncos aren't that good otherwise. They look a lot like the Colts of a few years ago, great QB and receivers but nothing else.
The same day we make the argument that he's not the best QB in the league he goes and throws 7 TDs lol.
Oh well, Rodgers is still da best.

Well they beat themselves for that, there is going to be lot of thing for my Ravens to get done the next games but already people saying the Ravens are done, and people saying Manning is an god. It's just one game but we got 16 weeks left.

"Andy Reid and Alex Smith, off and running... 21-2, Kansas City"... at the 2 minute warning and on another drive. I realize it is against the Jags but it do feel nice to see them looking so sharp.
*edit* And then A. Smith nearly gets picked as soon as I post on them, I'm shutting it on them for awhile.
