Requirement to be a top-tier QB

I don't understand the 'no weapons' debate. People will always say Manning had tons of great weapons. I'd say the majority of those weapons were just young players before he started throwing them the ball and they suddenly became great.

 

top-tier qbs need consistency and playoff wins. Daunte Culpepper had amazing stats his first few years but that didn't hold up and his Vikings teams lost 41- in the playoffs.

 

Winning is important but most consider Roethlisberger a top tier QB and his Steelers teams have been up and down lately with no major success. Eli Manning is a sure HOFer but he's probably officially 'dropped off'. Rivers hasn't had the playoff success (no SB appearance). Brees won a SB and breaks records. Wilson won a SB but he's only shown it for one and a half seasons. Cam has no playoff wins but has shown small improvements each season.

 

I'd say right now Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are in a class of their own. Their teams win every year and they regularly outduel opposing QBs. Aaron Rodgers is one step below those two. His teams make the playoffs every year and he has the SB title but GB  tends to be less dominate.

 

Aside from that you have Brees who breaks records, Wilson and Flacco with SB wins, Rivers with years of quality play though a few bad seasons in the middle of his career.

 

Everyone else is a step below trying to join the discussion (cam kap) or has dropped off from being at the top (eli ben).

 

I'd put Rodgers right with Brady and Manning in terms of current ability.  He hasn't won his last SB.  He's just not in the twilight of his career like those two guys are so he hasn't had a chance to break some records.

Win games and a strong media support. One QB can have Denver's roster and described as having no running game, no weapon, no defense, and carrying the team on his back. Another QB can have the Panthers roster and describe as having a great running game, WRs galore, an elite defense, and holding his team back.

What you did there...

I seen it.

His WR core has been a revolving door.

Brady is not only top ten, he's top 5.

 

Pretty boy he may be.....but Brady, Manning, and Rodgers are the smartest qbs in the game.

Yeah, what he did 15 years ago has no bearing on this season. If you're going off past accomplishments, Marino & Montana are still better QBs than any active QB.

AFCCG means nothing. The AFC is terrible. Besides, Kaepernick has made the NFCCG 3 straight years.

Calling 2014 Brady a top 5 QB makes you sound like an autistic monkey. He's not.
