As your QB. Don't rate your top 5 based on stats, fantasy points, etc. One game, all in, you need this QB to lead your team to the victory with everything at risk.

My top 5 below in rank order. Again- I am throwing stats out the window and going purely with who I think is a WINNER and will find a way to get it done, pretty or ugly.

1. Peyton Manning
2. Drew Brees
3. Eli Manning
4. Ben R.
5. Tom Brady

Kap- I knew it would not take long. Haha. My friends and I were standing around the kitchen last night drinking beers and arguing about this loud enough that my wife gave me "the look."

Aaron and Eli have the same number of rings- you can't tell me Rodgers deserves it that much over Eli. My top 5 is in my gut, for whatever reason, I wouldn't even put Aaron in my top 6 or 7. He's playing great football but has to show me more. Don't forget that Eli beat a team that was about to be labeled the "greatest ever." Aaron beat a Steeler team is just one year later is finished.

You would rather have Eli Manning leading than Tom Brady? 

Rodgers and Brady not being in the top 3 is absurd.

Yah Eli looked great in crunch time yesterday..pick 6 to lose.  And what has Eli done since.  Not to mention that "the greatest team ever" was held to what 14 points in that superbowl.  Credit that too the NYG defense not ELI.  I want to throw up that you would pick Eli over Rodgers.

Not going to lie. I hate Aaron Rodgers. I always thought he was a pompous prick and then he talked garbage about Mark Sanchez and his magazine photo spread....quarterbacks don't hate on quarterbacks.

So you're bias, but Eli ranked higher than Ben R. and Tom Brady?

Eli vs Brady already happened. In the SUPER BOWL. Eli was better. Period.

But in a "biggest game of the year," both Brady and Ben R. are proven with all those rings. Besides many will tell you ELI didn't win that game, but the NYG defense really won that game. But you're basing it one just one game. Should Trent Dilfer be ranked higher than Dan Marino too?

Eli Manning didn't hold Tom Brady to 14 points. That Giants Defense, and more particularly their D Line, held the Pats to 14 points.

It's your opinion but I don't think youre going to convince anyone that Eli belongs on this list, nor do I think anyone is going to agree with you.

My list is Rodgers, Brady, Manning, Brees, Big Ben.

And last on my list is Tony Romo. I would have more faith in Blaine Gabbert just handing a ball to a RB than Romo trying to read a Defense then audibling to a pass.
