This NFL season has been so spectacular as the New England Patriots are about to become undefeated and win their 4th superbowl this decade. I have made an oust anding list of the top 10 quarterbacks this year. Some may surprise you, and other and no-brainers. I can tell you right now that anyone who ranks the quarterbacks that made it furthest this year in the top of the list, they are way off. To start out, I am going to go with....

1) Tom Brady, New England- Ok, how could this guy not be the best overall? He won the 2007-2008 NFL MVP while quarterbacking the first team ever to a 16-0 undefeated season. He helped his team beat other great teams including San Diego, Indianapolis, and Tennessee. He threw a record breaking 50 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions. He dominated the NFL this year and look for him to dominate the weak Giants in the superbowl.

2) Brett Favre, Green Bay- Although he is getting old and thinking about retirement, he showed no signs of slowing down this year leading his team to a number 2 seed in the playoffs. He didn't have a great runningback or a great receiving core but he still managed to throw 28 touchdowns with only 15 interceptions. That is awesome for a man his age. And, oh yah, he also broke the record for most touchdowns EVER thrown. Nice job, Brett.

3) Peyton Manning, Indianapolis- Unlike his brother Eli, who didn't actually do so great this year (and who we will get to later), Peyton dominated once again throwing 31 touchdowns and only allowing 14 interceptions. This was with his best receiver, Marvin Harrison, hurt for a bunch of games. He is the leader of his team and he proved it yet again, leading the Colts to a 2nd seed behind the NE Patriots. He is being underrated because his team didn't make it past San Diego, but that loss should be put on the shoulders of the defense.

4) Tony Romo, Dallas- This guy went through so many ups and downs since last year when he lost the game and the season for his team by dropping a field goal snap. Again, this year, with the whole Jessica Simpson deal, he still managed to throw 36 touchdowns and only give up 19 interceptions. I think that is amazing for a guy with so much pressure on him. He got the respect of Terrell Owens, who cried like a baby after the loss might I add, and helped lead his team to the number 1 seed in the playoffs. Although they lost to NYG, Romo still did very well and proved he is a great quarterback.

5) Phillip Rivers, San Diego- He is so tough, and I think everyone respects him even more after they found out he played with a major injury in his leg last game, and that he will now need surgery. He gets into it with fans and doesn't let anyone intimidate him. He lead the Chargers past Indy two weeks ago and even though Ladanian Tomlinson is the focal point of the team, Rivers has made a name for himself in the NFL and will be looked upon to lead the Chargers once again next year. This year, he threw 21 touchdowns and only threw 15 interceptions. Not bad.

6) Eli Manning, New York Giants- He didnt do that well this year, but I have to give his team credit for getting this far in the playoffs, even though they will get smoked by the Pats in the superbowl. He threw 23 touchdowns and 20 interceptions. I know it is hard to be a quarterback in New York, but he has never really proved himself and I don't think he will for a while. Getting this far in the playoffs wasn't his doing and therefore he should not be counted as an elite quarterback. He did do decently though so I rank him at number 6.

7) Derek Anderson, Cleveland- Wow, thats all I can say. This man had almost never started an NFL game before and he comes in week two against the tough Cincinnati Bengals, and crushes them. He is the quarterback of the Cleveland Browns who did horrible last year and everyone thought they were going to be just as bad this year. The Browns got lucky to find such a great guy and he almost led them to the playoffs while throwing 29 touchdowns and only 19 interceptions. He made a young wide out, Braylon Edwards, look like a star on the field and who caught most of those 29 td's. For even helping the Browns win 1+ games, Anderson gets a ranking at number 7.

8) Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh- In truth, I do not believe that he did that well this year and I think he was worse then his numbers show. The Steelers played in the weakest division in football nobody can deny that and had a very easy schedule. He did throw 32 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions which may sound amazing, but if you look into it, he could have done better. Still, I have to put him on the list for leading the Steelers to a division title and a spot in
