I think my order would go something like:
1 - Tom Brady
2 - Peyton Manning
3 - Aaron Rodgers
4 - Philip Rivers
5 - Drew Brees
6 - Big Ben
7 - Mike Vick
8 - Matt Ryan
9 - Romo
10 - Kyle Orton

I agree. They'd be idiots to use that pick on him.

I like Arod right now. I think he's about to have an even better season. Not sure on Peyton.

KO in top ten though?

He was a top 5 fantasy QB and had the top rated offense (in yards gained I believe) until about 3-4 games left in the season. My belief is coaching led to the collapse he experienced.

Edit: A collapse that lost me my fantasy league

Fair enough. I mean, I am a big fan of KO, but I think his numbers last year are a result of McD's scheme. If he starts this year, I think we will see more modest numbers.

True, had a hard time thinking of somebody else. I think Eli is overrated based on the SB ring. Flacco is alright, nothing spectacular. Personally I was hoping the Jets would wise up and fire Shotty and replace him with McD at Offensive Coordinator. No reason a team with that much offensive firepower should be producing so few TDs (albeit with a young QB).

A lot of people underestimate him. Part of this is because he's a quiet guy. Part of this is because the Ravens Offensive Line was inconsistent last year due to injuries.

Joe quietly had a great season last year. He's only getting better.

I agree, theyre a defensive team whos offense is generally conservative and run first. Flacco gets honorable mention for my list

payton manning, matt ryan and tony romo are extreeemly over rated.

Payton manning just falls under pressure (from big people chasing him, aka actual pressure in game)

Tony romo always fails under pressure (of a big moment)

Matt Ryan and the falcons have been good all season... all year.. problem is they were never great at any point.. just always... good.
