Who are the top 10 QB's you would want in 2016?

[jonathanlambert33]

Who are the top 10 QB's you would want leading your team this season? This isn't a generic "who is the best" question, try to take into account everything from age, injury history, current injuries, suspensions, etc.

For example, we all know how great Tom Brady is, but does his 4 game suspension push him down your list? You may have him at #2, but you are assuming the #3 guy will stay healthy and play 16 games, do you move him up ahead of Brady because he will be there 16 games, presumably?

Hmm. This is difficult. As far as winning is concerned, there are a handful of good young QBs who haven't really tasted winning yet, so I'll have to decide if I trust them enough.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Certain obvious top 10 QBs are omitted from this list because I do not believe they have playoff caliber teams in 2016-17.
 
1. Rodgers
2. Brady 
3. Ben
4. Cam
5. Wilson
6. Romo
7. Palmer
8. Luck
9. Eli
10. Cousins (yes, bosox, you're convincing me to rethink my stance on Cousins a bit due to the weapons at his disposal)
 
Other possible playoff QBs (imo):
11. Carr
12. Ryan
13. Flacco
14. Cutler
15. Bortles
16. Osweiler
17. Sanchez
18. Smith
19. Taylor
20. Fitzpatrick
21. Teddy
 
Brees and Rivers do not have playoff rosters in my opinion or they would both be in the top 7. I looked at this as which players do I expect to have great seasons due to the rosters around them, which include capable defenses.

Nope, over hyped and bailed out a lot by Mega Tron.  Very curious to see how he fairs without him.

Oh please, he's better than that. Arguably the second best QB in the division most of the time.

 

[bosoxlover12]

Arguably? He definitely is.

That's not saying much considering our division QB's outside of Rodgers have been a huge joke.

Cutler was better last year, and is better when he plays well.
