atlantaprodj Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Peter King > MONDAY MORNING QB I could go back to 2003 (Carson Palmer, Byron Leftwich, Tony Romo), or I could factor in the great 2004 class of Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Schaub (who threw for 330, 436, 221 and 357 yards Sunday, respectively). But I'll throw out this 10-man class of Sunday's young starters -- all those who started and are 26 or younger -- and rank them by how I think their careers will pan out:Player, Team Age, Starting seasons, Skinny1. Matt Ryan, Atlanta, age 24, 2: Started this season 2-0. Now 13-5 as a pro.2. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay, age 25, 2: Threw for 261 yards in loss to Cincinnati3. Jay Cutler, Chicago, age 26, 4: Rebounded from opening nightmare to beat Pitt.4. Joe Flacco, Baltimore, age 24, 2: Finally has Baltimore O on equal footing with D5. Mark Sanchez, NY Jets, age 22, 1: Even Namath didn't start the '65 opener6. Trent Edwards, Buffalo, age 25, 2: Masterful at NE in opener, and beat TB Sunday7. Matthew Stafford, Detroit, age 21, 1: Lions know they can't rush the kid8. Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia, age 25, 0: Could backup McNabb for 2 more years.9. Brady Quinn, Cleveland, age 24, 1: He'll get too beat up in Cleveland to be judged fairly.10. JaMarcus Russell, Oakland, age 24, 2: A 52% passer in 21 career outings.A final note: Think of all the talent headed to the league in 2010: Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, Texas' Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow of Florida and Ole Miss' Jevan Snead, and more. It's going to be a young-armed league for a while.http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writ.../20/mmqb/1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattIceRyanMVP2 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 In the future it will be Ryan vs. Rodgers for best QB in the NFC, We all know who the best will be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peyton Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It was, and I still don't care what that idiot thinks, but the bandwagon is big, I guess he is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.A.I.N Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I think Flacco is a lot better than we give him credit. His D isnt playing all that great right now and he's kinda winning the game for them. Not saying Flacco is better than Ryan, but i do think this will be the next Peyton vs Brady rival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TdotFalcon Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 didn't Russell just throw 7/24 this week you could put a ********-1-armed senior citizen and they could go at least 8/24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmildog Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Matt Ryan deserves to be number one he is turning out to be a fantastic QB. The last few QB's on that list are garbage though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Fan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 It's all about the playoffs. Ryan knows it and that's all you need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
