well Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees for sureElite qb's imo
Godgers, Brady, Manning (when healthy), Brees, Rivers, Rofl.
You could made the case that 3 of those six are on a another level than the other 3 but those six are probably the best 6 right now.
I would have said Rivers too but he's been pretty bad so maybe, is quite good but more of a guy that is around #7 and not close to the top guys
QB has a 4-5person elite, large drop then a tier with maybe 5-6 guys then it drops again really far, and god help you if you have a QB in the 20s
No NFL Teams Attend T.O.'s Workout
26th October, 2011 - 1:17 am
ESPN.com - No NFL teams attended Terrell Owens' workout in Calabasas, Calif., on Tuesday, but the 37-year-old receiver said he was confident that he showed enough that teams will be interested.
The free-agent is unsigned after tearing his ACL and having surgery in early April. He participated in some drills and caught passes Tuesday in the workout that was televised on ESPN and the NFL Network. He did not run the 40-yard dash.

I can't penalize Rivers for a rough start. He's been pretty good the last few years. Maybe even if he has a whole rough year. I'm pretty sure even elite qb's have rough years from time to time and then pick it back up to t heir normal play the next year. We'll see.eternalreflection wrote:well Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees for sureElite qb's imo

Memo to Goodell: Stop being a hypocrite
By Michael Silver, Yahoo! Sports
The NFL fined Packers linebacker Clay Matthews(notes) $5,000 for wearing yellow cleats with his nasty throwback uniform.
Steelers safety Troy Polamalu(notes) got docked twice that amount for borrowing a team doctorגs cell phone on the sidelines ג to assure his wife he was OK after suffering an apparent head injury.
And the Jousting Jims, Harbaugh and Schwartz? After a contentious postgame handshake and bumping incident involving the 49ersג and Lionsג charged-up coaches turned into a full-fledged spectacle at Ford Field two Sundays ago, the NFL took swift and decisive action.
Get this: The league reportedly sent out a memo to all 32 teams, reminding everyone to behave at gameגs end.
Yep, tough love at its finest.
Failing to fine Harbaugh and Schwartz for their conspicuously contentious conduct was beyond weak. Not only did numerous players express this publicly, but as my colleague Jason Cole reported Tuesday, Browns president Mike Holmgren went so far as to put in a call to the league office to express his opinion that both coaches should have been dinged.
Considering that Holmgren is his teamגs top football executive and a longtime NFL coach, thatגs kind of embarrassing ג though surely not as embarrassing as (gasp) uniform violations.
This latest example of the leagueגs egregious double standard when it comes to discipline involving players and coaches makes me want to extract a pound of flesh from somebody, but that sounds kind of messy. Instead, I think Iגll send a memo to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell:
Dear Roger:
As you know, Iגm a big fan. While youגve taken your share of grief lately, Iגve repeatedly defended you against your detractors ג even during the lockout.
However, I believe you have a blind spot on the issue of punishing coaches whose behavior tarnishes גThe Shield,ג and it kind of makes you look like a hypocrite.
Personally, Iגm not a big fan of fining players for things like improper shoe color or calling wifey on the phone (possibly in a loopy state) to say, גHoney, letגs have a candlelight dinner tonight ג¦ actually, make that dinner in a completely darkened room.ג But I get it ג youגre the Sheriff, and rules are rules.
That said, if youגre going to flex your power, it kind of helps your credibility when you at least go through the motions of doing so in an even-handed manner. Too often, your decisions seem arbitrary.
Two years ago, after Falcons head coach Mike Smith and Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall(notes) had a jawing match during a game, you fined Smith $15,000 and let the player skate. I thought that was the wrong decision, but at least it was the rare case of a coach being held to a higher standard ג which is supposedly what your personal-conduct policy dictates.
Usually, however, itגs the other way around. As I told you then, your complete unwillingness to investigate the incident in which former Raiders assistant Randy Hanson argued with then-coach Tom Cable in a meeting room and emerged with a broken jaw was shameful. You also blew off Cableגs admission that he had struck his first wife amid numerous allegations of domestic violence.
What Harbaugh and Schwartz did in the heat of the moment two Sundays ago wasnגt nearly that severe, and many of us (myself included) found it entertaining. However, both men exhibited a clear lack of professionalism ג Harbaugh with a post-handshake shove to Schwartzגs back, Schwartz with an aggressive shoulder bump and continued effort to get back in his rivalגs face before leaving the field ג which was clearly embarrassing to the league.
As Detroit-area sports scandals go, this wasnגt the Malice at the Palace or anything close to it. However, the Fracas at Ford was arguably more of a stain on the leagueגs image than a certain linebackerגs lemon-colored footwear or a certain safetyגs decision to use a 21st-century communications tool to soothe his wifeגs nerves.
Harbaugh and Schwartz are good coaches whose intensity and competitiveness are qualities which have helped them turn around struggling franchises. However, theyגre also representatives of billion-dollar companies who, when conducting business on a telecast seen by tens of millions of viewers, should be able to exhibit professionalism and mutual respect for a few seconds before heading to their separate locker rooms.
Neither coach did this after the 49ers-Lions game, and you should have fined them as a deterrent for those who might behave even less appropriately in the future.
Take my advice and reconsider your decision to let them slide, if only to reassure legions of skeptical players that youגre fair about ensuring that everyone must follow the same standard of behavior.

Gronkowski Sorry For Pics With Porn Star
26th October, 2011 - 4:10 pm
ESPN.com - Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said he apologized to team owner Robert Kraft after pictures of him with an adult film star appeared on Twitter during the team's bye week.
"I didn't intend anything to hurt the reputation of anyone on the New England Patriots or on behalf of Robert Kraft," said Gronkowski.
"That's all, just a simple picture, that's all. From here on out, I'm just here to talk about the Pittsburgh Steelers and the big game this weekend."
Adult film star BiBi Jones posted photos of herself in Gronkowski's jersey standing with the tight end, who is shirtless.
She appeared on 98.5 the Sports Hub on Monday.
"I went into the room to take a picture with him and he said, 'Put on my jersey,'" Jones said to the radio station. "I asked him, 'Can I put these on my Twitter?' He was cool with it because I have more Twitter followers than him and he wanted me to get him more Twitter followers."

So I have to choose between Giants/Dolphins or Ravens/Cardinals.
What the fuck man. What a weak-ass slate of games this week. Again.
