How about Rogers?
To early to tell really. I guess Tavaris Jackson is off the list, huh?
Hes a bust, second string at best.
Interesting thing on ESPN's website.. talking about who will be the next Brady-Manning QB dual in the NFL after those two are gone. Talks about 5 of the top younger QB's playing right now that will take their place as the top QB's in the game after Brady/Peyton retire.
I ranked my top 5 this way:
1.) Roethlisberger
2.) Eli Manning
3.) Rivers
4.) Romo
5.) Cutler
Rivers and Romo could be swapped, but I think Romo makes too many stupid mistakes for my taste. (Fumbles, picks, etc).
How would you guys rank them?
I dont think you can put Rivers and Roth in as young QB's. Like 5.0 said they have peaked as far as how good they will be and I dont see them vastly improving upon what we have already seen, they may have up and down years but everyone else on the list has made mistakes or wilo make them and have much to learn. I dont see how you can list Roth as an up and coming QB for someone who has multiple years of experience and has gone to and won a Superbowl. His age range may be the same as the others but his experience is years ahead.
You? Agreeing with me? They must be playing hockey in hell right now.
Seriously, I dunno why ESPN put those guys on the list, maybe it was just lack of better options?
Actually I agree with ESPN's list, which is one of the few times you'll hear me say that.
1. Tony Romo
2. Jay Cutler
3. Ben Roethlisberger
4. Aaron Rodgers
5. Eli Manning
6. Philip Rivers
7. Matt Ryan
Romo is awfully talented with a great supporting cast and playoff experience so I can understand why he got the nod. The guys on the ESPN podcast were talking about how Jay Cutler is a "special guy" and a prototypical quarterback which I think everyone can agree with. I think Aaron Rodgers will surprise alot of people too.
As for Big Ben, Manning and Rivers, they are good young quarterbacks but I think they've pretty much peaked. I doubt we'll see any significant progression in their play during their careers. Romo, Cutler and Rodgers still haven't hit their ceiling yet.

2) Using your logic how can you list Ben and Rivers and not Eli, they were all the same draft class.
Different stages of development.
It is an article on the next big QB. Not an article on whatever it is you think it is about.
We most be talking abotu different articles. This is the one I was referring to.
ESPN - Fantasy Football: The best young quarterbacks in the game - Fantasy Football
Fantasy versus reality. It's a theme we often explore at ESPN. So when we were asked to rank the best young quarterbacks in the game, we had to ask: for fantasy, or for real?
Fantasy rankings aren't about wins and losses, playoff grit or championship rings. It's not about who makes whom better and whom you'd pick to start a brand-new NFL franchise.
Anyone up for predicting some of the big games this weekend? Along with their team's game, if it's not included.
I'll give it a shot.
Dolphins - 10
Patriots - 24
Know whats odd..last year the offense kept putting up 38 points for a few wks straight. Now the Defense is only allowing 10 points for each game the past 2 wks. Lets hope they can keep it up. If Cassel only has to generate 13 points a game were good
It was an article posted right on the front page of the ESPN NFL section, and all Jason mentioned was it being about young quarterbacks. How the hell am I supposed to know he had a different article?
I thought I was on your ignore list?
