    Playoff QB Rankings

    7th?! Brady, Roethlisberger, Manning, Brees, Vick, Ryan and then Aaron. Of course, its only one writers opinion. What you all think?

    7. Aaron Rodgers(notes), Green Bay Packers – Rodgers posted his second straight season with a rating of better than 100 as he continues to make people forget about Brett Favre(notes). In fact, Rodgers has better ratings than Favre ever did with the Packers. That said, Rodgers better deliver in the postseason. He has a great chance in the playoff opener at Philadelphia. Then again, the Packers need to do a better job of protection, specifically by getting him a better running game. That’s not going to happen right now, but it better be high on the offseason priority list. Otherwise, those two concussions Rodgers suffered this season are going to multiply in a hurry.

    The top 4 guys all have rings, so there's that (but I still think Roethlisburger is very overrated). Rodgers has to establish himself in the playoffs and he'll move up. Personally, I'd take him + the Patriots O-line over anyone, Brady included .

    I also think that Ryan has the benefit of having Michael Turner and Mugheli in that backfield. He looks just ok when they lack a run game, and IMHO can't take over a game like Rodgers can. He hasn't won a playoff game yet, either, and lost to the same team in the first round of the 2008 playoffs that Rodgers lost to in the first round of 2010.

    Vick is sort of a wildcard. The guy can blow a game open by himself sometimes but he's had a tough time against better defenses. His lack of ability to read a defense, in particular, is a known issue. He's fast and has a strong arm but he can be baited into mistakes a lot more easily than most.

      Plus, I thought it was funny that he dinged the Packers' protection unit but not the Eagles'. Philly has given up 50 sacks to GB's 38.

        What? As opposed to his last postseason?


        28/42 for 423 yards 4 TD's 1 INT and a 121.3 QB rating.

          I'd take Rodgers over Ryan. I think Rodgers underrated compared to Ryan. I can't really even argue with the rest--even Vick. After this weekend, hopefully I'll move ARod above Vick.

            Another man's QB rankings. Not just playoff QBs though.

            http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=clayton_john&id=5972554


            1. Tom Brady, New England Patriots

            Analysis: Brady's remarkable season included an in-season change from a big-play offense that featured Randy Moss to a move-the-chains approach with high-percentage passes. He should be voted the league's MVP, a reason I am moving him ahead of reigning MVP Peyton Manning in my rankings. Brady's TD pass-to-interception ratio of 9-to-1 is remarkable.
            Arrow is pointing: Up

            2. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts

            Analysis: Manning hasn't lost anything from his game, just weapons. At times operating with neither a running game nor an inside passing game, Manning had a tough month in which he forced too many passes, resulting in interceptions in bunches. But he showed he still has it in carrying the Colts into the playoffs.
            Arrow is pointing: Flat

            3. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

            Analysis: The strange part of this season was his high interceptions total (22, second most in league). Brees is normally a cool customer who makes few mistakes, but teams dropped more defenders into coverage to make it tougher for him to throw deep.
            Arrow is pointing: Flat

            4. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

            Analysis: Roethlisberger grew up as a person after starting the season with a four-game suspension and remained every bit as good as a quarterback. The only knock is his tendency to have low-scoring games against top defenses.
            Arrow is pointing: Flat

            5. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

            Analysis: Unable and unwilling to slide, Rodgers will never earn elite baseball status. His inability to slide resulted in a worry about concussions, but his ability to throw and run gives opponents headaches.
            Arrow is pointing: Up

            6. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers

            Analysis: Rivers had his best season even though he was missing many of his top offensive weapons. He's a leader who is willing to make tough throws at tough times no matter how tight the coverage.
            Arrow is pointing: Up

            7. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons

            Analysis: In his third season, Ryan evolved into a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback. His extra work in the offseason studying other elite quarterbacks paid off.
            Arrow is pointing: Up

            8. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles

            Analysis: Vick revamped his game by becoming every bit as dangerous throwing from the pocket as he was running out of it. He was the story of the year in the NFL.
            Arrow is pointing: Up

              We've covered this ground, but Rodgers also opened the AZ game with an interception, he dropped that catch to Driver, overthrew the game winning TD, and singlehandedly lost them the game on the final turnover. QB ratings hide that stuff.

                On top of those stats, the Packers offense scored 45 points.

                    In 13 of Tom Brady's 14 playoff victories, the Patriots defense has allowed 21 or fewer points. (They allowed 29 in their victory over Carolina.) In Aaron Rodgers only postseason start, his defense allowed 45 points. The Pats have never scored 45 points in a postseason game with Tom Brady at the helm.

                    I know Rodgers made a few errors in that game, but he played epic football for most of that game. It's not like he played pretty well but made a couple of mistakes. He played OUT OF HIS MIND. The Packers scored touchdowns on six consecutive drives in the middle of the game. Think about that. Six consecutive touchdown drives! That's absurd.

                        I'm not sold on Vick. He has had a highlight reel run this year and he is certainly a better QB than he was here in ATL but IMHO, he isn't a better QB than Rodgers. I also agree with Denver that Ryan has the benefit of a very good running game. I would put Ryan and Rodgers about even.

                        Obviously, a very pointless debate as these type of rankings are a matter of personal opinion and stats can be twisted to support a person's beliefs. Still, it is fun.

                            It's a ranking of playoff QB's...certainly there are other QB's ranked above him (Phillip Rivers, anyone) but THEY aren't in the playoffs.

                              But he doesn't inspire greatness in those around him like a certain future HOF QB. If he were more like that guy the D would have stepped up for him and we would have won.

                              Seriously though, I put Rodgers 5 on that list and 6 in the entire NFL (rivers). I also find it no fluke that all the best QB's in the NFL are in the playoffs except rivers.
