QB Dynasty Rankings 1- 10

1. Drew Brees - Age 30

Brees is coming off a monster year and shows no signs that he will not put up similar numbers again.  At age 30 he is in his prime and has played everygame for the last four years.  He is as consistent and as good as they come.  A clear number one QB.

2. Tom Brady - Age 32

Brady gets ranked below Brees for a couple reasons.  He is two years older, he is coming off major knee surgery that cost him his season in 2008, and besides his 2007 record setting year he has not put up the monster numbers that Brees has.  Do not get me wrong, I think Brady is very consistent and very deserving of the number two spot on this list, he just cannot compete with Brees at this moment.

3. Peyton Manning - Age 33

Manning is Mr. Consistency.  Played in everygame since he was drafted and always puts up big numbers regardless of the team around him.  Even at the age of 33, Manning should still have five more years of top 5 numbers which puts him at number three on this list.

4. Aaron Rodgers - Age 25

If you are going the way of youth, Rodgers is your guy.  Even on a team that struggled he put up great fantasy numbers and showed the poise and leadership that tells you he will be a great quarterback for years to come.

5. Phillip Rivers - Age 27
One of the most overlooked players in the NFL.  Rivers had a monster year last year.  While I do not think he can put up those numbers every single year, be confident that he will produce QB1 numbers for many years to come.

6. Matt Ryan - Age 24
Ryan is only 24 years old and already has won over respect from almost everyone.  He stepped into a situation where many good young quarterbacks would have struggled and had a very good year.  The sky is the limit for this 24 year old. 

7. Jay Cutler - Age 26
Cutler's value dropped when this strong armed quarterback found a new team this summer.  There is little doubt that he can throw the ball, but I remain skeptical of Cutler as the overall quarterback.  He fits in nice here at number seven.  His physical talent is as good as it comes, but he has some obstacles to overcome.

8. Tony Romo - Age 29
This is where the quarterback rankings start to be strongly debated.  Romo has consistently shown he is a good fantasy quarterback.  Even with T.O. leaving Romo still has an above average supporting cast.  I have confidence Romo can be a top ten quarterback for many years to come.

9. Matt Schaub - Age 28
Schaub is entering the prime of his career and plays on a team that is exploding with talent.  I believe this is the year Houston makes a leap and Schaub becomes a top ten QB.  Injuries are a concern, however each of his injuries the past couple years have come as a result of a hit which was disciplined by the NFL.  If he can avoid the "cheap shots" this year it will be a great year.

10. Ben Roethlisberger - Age 27
Roethlisberger is 27 years old and has two Superbowl rings on his hand.  Of course you do not get fantasy points for rings.  There is little doubt Roethlisberger is a top QB, but he has only topped 19 TD's once as a pro and plays on a run first team.  Be confident that he will be Quarterbacking the Steelers for many years to come and will consistently put up decent numbers, just do not expect any top 5 seasons from him.
