Rank the playoff QBs

[erod]

There are some good quarterbacks in the NFC playoffs this year.

I'd rank them.....

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Matt Ryan
3. Russell Wilson
4. Matt Stafford
5. Dak Prescott
6. Eli Manning

(I would rank a healthy Tony Romo 2nd.)

The AFC is far inferior....

1. Tom Brady
2. Ben Roethlisberger
3. Alex Smith
4. Ryan Tannehill
5. Brock Osweler
6. Connor Cook

(Derek Carr would be 3rd.)

I think you're spot on, except Dak might just edge out Stafford.

LOL at the people ranking Romo near the top. I am not saying you are wrong, but if that is the case, why in the world isn't he starting?

 

[DFWJC]

I'll just copy erod's

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Matt Ryan
3. Russell Wilson
4. Matt Stafford
5. Dak Prescott
6. Eli Manning

AFC
1. Tom Brady
2. Ben Roethlisberger

6. Connor Cook

I also agree with Erod's rankings, those two (Dak/Stafford) are probably interchangeable dependent on your offensive system.

However, anyone who thinks any GM would take Romo over Matt Ryan in a playoff game this weekend is smoking rocks.

1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Tony Romo
3. Matt Ryan
4. Russell Wilson
5. Dak Prescott
6. Matt Stafford
7. Eli Manning

Because Dak has quarterbacked this team to 13-2. It's a uniquely strange situation.

Jimmy Johnson thinks he should

All I heard was we're "riding the hot hand".

 

[adamknite]

I would definitely take Dak over Stafford personally.

Good question. It sure isn't based on his abilities
.
Must be more to it.
Like team continuity, strong play and health reliability of Dak, the future, etc.
These are all very good reasons.

Still, though I'm not one arguing for him to play, Romo did not get beat out. That is 100% for sure.

That's pretty much exactly how I'd rank them (with Cook being the unknown - Is Tannehill going to play? I'd put Moore in the same spot).

That's an easy one: the team has decided that Dak is the starter. And even if you believe that healthy Romo is better than healthy Dak, that decision can be perfectly rational if you believe the durability issues outweigh the ability differential. Of course, the playoffs are a different story: it should be all hands on deck. I'm really curious about what would happen if we go into halftime of a playoff game with (a) Dak and the offense struggling and (b) a two-score deficit. If I had to bet, I think Tony takes over in that scenario.

Dak shouldnt be above Eli Manning

You're right. Ryan's definitely better based on both his play and being less injured.

 

[Sarge]

Jimmy Johnson thinks he should

Jimmy has changed his mind 8 different times this year on this subject. At one point "without question, Dak is you starter in Dallas."

 

[erod]

Dak shouldnt be above Eli Manning

This year, he should. Eli is not that good this year.
