The Top Five Football QBs of the Past 10 Years
The decade is almost over, and it’s time to reflect on it a bit. Being the big sports fan that I am, not to mention the fact that I’m watching football right now, I thought that it’d be nice to take a look at the top 5 quarterbacks of this past decade.
My rankings factor in the overall performance over the last 10 years, rather than who may be better than who at present. Based on this, we’re going to remember what’s transpired in seasons past in determining who finished where on this list.
Everything is up for debate, which is exactly what makes the world of sports so great. If you have a differing opinion, feel free to chime in.
Kurt Warner. He started out the decade as one of the best QBs in football, and incredibly he’ll finish it near the top too. He had a lull mid decade, but the Cardinals’ Super Bowl appearance last year definitely earns Warner a spot on the list.
At number four, we have Brett Favre. While he may be a better career quarterback than another man or two on this list, this is simply about what he’s done during the decade. Favre lacks the Super Bowl appearance that others do here, though that could change by season’s end.
Donovan McNabb may not be better for his career than Favre, but the decade has been a better one for McNabb without a doubt. He’s come one game away from the Super Bowl five times and it’s clear that he’s been the most consistent NFC quarterback during this span.
Tom Brady has been at the forefront of a Patriots dynasty during this decade, and his team has arguably been the most successful franchise of the last 20 years. His numbers have been exceptional and some more of his best days may still be ahead.
Lastly, Peyton Manning is already being spoken of as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football, and some are beginning to believe that he may in fact be the best. He led the Colts to a Super Bowl, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him win another one.
