McNabb.
He has always been one of my favorite players, but I definitely didn't think he would be as healthy and playing the way he is. He has always been a beast when healthy and he's showing it. As the headline's talking about him are saying, he's looking even better than prior seasons when he was healthy.

I have to say Jay Cutler.

McNabb really hasn't impressed me, because he usually plays good when he isn't injured. I had a good feeling that Rodgers would play well, so I wouldn't say he's impressed me. Rivers is 0-2, not impressive. Even though he has 6 touchdowns.

I was mad when they made Jay Cutler starter. I really didn't see what was so special about him. After his performance in the first three games - I see why he was made the starter. He leads quarterbacks in touchdowns, he's third in pass completion percentage, and also is third in passer rating. That's impressive.

Easy...Jay Cutler.

Given what we have seen form McNabb in the past, we all know what he is capable of...when healthy. With the Eagles thus far their young receivers stepping up in place of Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis has been more impressive. I expect McNabb to play this well given the weapons he has surrounding him and given his experience.

'Hats off' to Shannahan for seeing something in Cutler that most of us didn't see quite yet. Shannahan has opened up that playbook and trusted Cutler to put the ball all around the field...and the guy is capitalizing on the opportunity.

An offense that has been so many places because of their ability to run the ball and those days are clearly behind them.

Cutler is making good throws, smart throws, finding his go-to receivers...looks like a 5 year-plus veteran out there. The Broncos at 3-0 right now...who saw that coming?

Jay Cutler for sure. He's really surprised me with how effective he's been so far.

I went with Cutler for reasons already stated.

I voted Aaron Rodgers. I'm a HUGE Jay Cutler fan, have been since seeing him in college, I'm not impressed because I EXPECTED this output from him. Rodgers on the other hand has done a stupendous job in filling in for Jet Favre. Cutler's the best QB on the list, but Rodgers has impressed me the most.

ZOMG i agree with you wtf?
the guys on there Cutler, Rivers, McNabb like you said you almost expect them to do what their doing.
Rodgers on the other hand has got the Pack's offense rolling faster than ALMOST anyone could have anticipated. thats why i voted for him

You guys realize that Aaron Rodgers is playing with the same cast that went as far as the NFC Championship game last year, right? Aaron Rodgers has also had 3 years to sit, watch, and study the Packers' Offense. Given what Rodgers has around him with Driver, Grant, Jennings, etc...and given Green Bay's defense being so good...there's no reason this team shouldn't have 2 wins out of 3 to this point.

Jay Cutler on the other hand...

...playing with a 7-9 team last season, a Runningback-by-committee ground game, and none of his primary targets have more than 2 years experience in the League. Cutler didn't have much time to hold the clip board, as he was pretty much thrown onto the field by Shannahan in 2006 & while the Broncos were on a playoff push.

Bottom line though...nobody expected Denver to be 3-0 at this point & certainly not winning games by putting the ball in the air.

I've picked Denver each week they played in my Pick'em pool, so I excpected them to be 3-0.

Like I said Cutler's been the best QB on the list, but I'm not surprised because I expected him to do all these things.

Honestly I had a feeling that Rodgers would perform well at the start, just not sure what the long road looks like for him. The person I'm most interested in is Jay Cutler. He's been one of the best, if not the best so far. His numbers are great, he's already established trust amongst all his players like rookie Eddie Royal. Im interested in seeing how he holds up there throughout the rest of the season, and if his defense can start protecting these large leads he sets up each and every week.

I voted for Jay Cutler. He's been very efficient given his situations. Thrown into the fire two years ago and going through the transition of a punishing ground game to an airing it out style is very impressive to me. I expected Rodgers to very well given all the weapons surrounding him.
