Tier 1
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Tom Brady
Phillip Rivers
Matt Ryan


These are the only QBs I would pay that upper echelon money for. I don't give a fuck what the market calls for. These QBs can carry a team if they have to or called upon. Most other QBs cannot and have not. This tier 1 list are absolutely game changers and that's why you pay them 28-30+mil a year. I'd rather pay 23 mil/yr for a game changer like Aaron Donald/Kahlil Mack than 23mil for a game manager like Alex Smith. You are better off putting resources into the OL/DL/etc and rolling with a guy like McCoy than overpaying for a guy who's average (or slightly above) at his position.

I would also put Ben Roethlisberger on my tier 1 list. 6 pro Bowls, 2 time Super Bowl winner, 13-8 in playoffs. Like Rodger's pocket evasiveness Big Ben extends a lot of plays because he is so hard to bring down.

No matter how good a QB looks he has to play well in year two as a starter before I will put him up with the A grade guys. There have been too many one year wonders that defenses yanked the rug out from under after enough film was out on them. Remember when RG3 and Kap were mentioned as part of the next generation of top QBs? Also the offensive weapons on KC are full on bad ass.

This is true but I think this kid is the real deal. He does have a great cast tho.
