The League's Best QB is...

[DemonDeacon]

Fantasy wise i think Brees will be the top QB again next year. He's going to have Colston hopefully the entire year along with Meachem who has shown a lot of promise as well as Moore and Shockey. Hes got a pro bowl staff there and we havent even mentioned Bush or PThomas. Manning is still going to be up there but im not going to call him a top 3 lock anymore, but still good enough to be number 1 as well of course.

2008-Drew Brees
2007-Tom Brady
2006-Peyton Manning
2005-Carson Palmer
2004-Peyton Manning
2003-Peyton Manning
2002-Rich Gannon
2001-Kurt Warner
2000-Peyton Manning

(Check my math, I was in a rush)

These are your fantasy leaders at QB since 2000 folks. Notice anything? There has only been one player to take that crown multiple times, and only one player to do it two years in a row. His name is Peyton Manning. I want consistency out of that spot. That's why my pick is Peyton Manning.

You give me Edge in his prime, Marvin in his prime, Wayne slightly green and but pretty much in his prime and Dallas Clark and i'll be an elite QB with a long ball potential of 40yds!!!! Peytons a great QB but hes had a great supporting cast his entire career. Marvin is almost a non issue and Waynes looking pretty mortal when posted up against #1 CBs in the league. Not to mention Peytons had arguably the best line in the league the last 10years of his career also and now even his line is starting to deteriorate around him. I still put him as a top 3 QB but im not calling him a lock anymore. In most leagues last year he wasnt even a top 5 QB and things arent getting any better in Indy.

i swear i only meant to write one line...

Lol, one line indeed.

I would argue that Peyton Manning has perhaps made very good players around him look great, but that is perhaps besides the point. True, he's had alot of talent around him, but it's not like he's working with the Seahawks WRs here. Wayne is still a more than serviceable #1, Gonzalez is while perhaps not an ideal 2, at least a very good slot WR. Clark is still performing at a high level, and Manning's relatively poor showing this year i attribute mainly to missing most of camp with his surgery. Once he hit his stride around mid season he finished strong. I think Manning still has a few more big seasons in him, but we shall see.
