Rank the playoff QBs

That's fine.....unless they make one mistake. Against the Packers and Falcons, you're chasing once you do.

And forget the Packers we faced earlier. Everybody was beating them then. They're on a huge roll now.

Your not chasing unless you panic and I don't expect Dallas to do that. Forget the packers? Rodgers does not play defense and yes I know they are on a roll so are the Cowboys. Dallas is a power team they need to go in and physically beat the hell out of who is ever in their face. Every team in post season has weapons and a style of offense they play so do the Cowboys and if they play to their own strength they can beat GB or Alt or any other team out there. It is all about the QB it is about the team, Teams win championship always have and always will
 
Aaron Rodgers has been hot trash for the better part of the past 2 (3?) seasons. He turned it on the last six games and Ill concur with listing him # 1 because of it, but dont sleep on his ability to be over rated crap.
 
Well, look at you, Mr. Fancy Pants.

I'm in agreement, but I'd push Alex Smith up to 7th. (In fact, if KC loses and he doesn't play well, look for the Chiefs to make a run at Romo this offseason.)

Romo on the Chiefs is a great fit. Alex Smith's cap hit might be too much.

Right and lets not forget there's a fair chance it will be Atlanta or GB chasing us NOT the other way around.
 
You guys are all getting on Eli and how mediocre or even bad he is. The OLine has struggled mightily this year. I put some of the blame on Eli but I put more of the blame on the OLine. And I am not talking about replacements for injuries. Aside from Pugh being out a few games, the OLine has been relatively healthy. The starting OLine is below average. This is one area where the GM missed.

I will say the OLine has looked a bit better recently but still not very good.

Hmm, I've read on here that Rodgers is the best QB of all time. Let that sink in: of all time. Not Unitas, not Montana, not Staubach, but Rodgers....

You would have a much better insight about Eli and his troubles than most of the Cowboy fans.

When we played him that was a pretty good example of how up until 6 weeks ago his play had decline in the last couple years. He was off most the day. Missed a couple of wide open receivers badly. I was really taken aback by how medicore he was. Then I read an article about the effects of deflate gate and how Rodgers likes his footballs with a little more (or less) than regulation psi. Maybe it was nothing but I was trying to figure out why he was so bad. Hes apparently got this corrected but none the less I dont think hes the same Rodgers that built the reputation he has today.
 
BOSTON (CBS) — “DeflateGate” was all about Tom Brady and his footballs which were, according to the NFL, inflated below the league’s proper levels. As a result, the quarterback was punished heavily.

But what if it was actually Aaron Rodgers who suffered the most severe consequences?

A caller on Zolak & Bertrand on Tuesday alerted the hosts to the fact that ever since the NFL started to closely monitor the PSI of the footballs, it’s been a rough go for Aaron Rodgers, who once told the CBS broadcast crew that he liked his footballs to be inflated over the 12.5-13.5 PSI range allowed by the league.

Phil Simms relayed this nugget on Rodgers back in 2014: “He said something that was unique — ‘I like to push the limit to how much air we can put in the football, even go over what they allow you to do, and see if the officials take the air out of it,’ because he thinks it’s easier for him to grip. He likes ’em tight. Of course he’s got very big hands.”

Well, later that year, “DeflateGate” became a scandal, and as a result, the NFL started paying much closer attention to the PSI levels in footballs.

And since then, Rodgers has experienced a steep drop-off.

He completed just 60.7 percent of his passes last year, by far his lowest mark in any season in which he’s been the starter. Prior to last year, his lowest completion percentage was 63.6 percent in 2008, his first year as a starter.

He threw for 3,821 yards, which was his lowest total in a 16-game season of his career. His 238 yards per game were again the lowest of his career by a wide margin.

His touchdowns and interception numbers were still good, but the accuracy and the yardage slipped considerably.

Now in year two of the post-DeflateGate era, Rodgers is still struggling. His completion percentage has actually dropped to 60.2 percent, and his yards per game have dropped to 234.

As Scott Zolak noted, Rodgers has really gone downhill, while Brady has seemingly gotten better.

“Brady looks like he’s kind of perfected his thing,” Zolak said. “He looks like he’s played better. He hit 83 percent of his passes last Sunday.”

Zolak noted that Rodgers hasn’t thrown for over 300 yards in a game since Week 9 last season. Brady, meanwhile, threw for 376 yards this past week and 406 yards the week before that. Last year, Brady topped 300 yards seven times, and also threw for 299 in another game. Brady’s 298.1 yards per game was the fifth-best mark of his career.

“It’s always Brady-Rodgers, Brady-Rodgers, one-two, right? Are they even close right now?” Zolak asked. “No! This is the first time, right now, to the caller’s point, where it’s been a consistent drop here for Rodgers as far as elevating the rest of the team. You can sit here and say there is a gap here between him and Brady.”

Bertrand piled on: “Do you know that in Aaron Rodgers’ last 10 games of last season, he did not have a quarterback rating over 100? And so far this year, he has had one game with a quarterback rating over 100. Aaron Rodgers has not been very good over last season and this season.”

“DeflateGate” obviously turns a lot of people off immediately, but might there actually be something going on here?

“Initially, I rolled my eyes because the word ‘DeflateGate’ gets brought up, right? But then you actually think about how it could potentially change the way a guy plays,” Zolak said.

“Might be on to something there,” Bertrand concluded.

 
So Connor Cook will get a chance to win a playoff game before Dak Prescott. :laugh:

That's the message the media has been slobbering all week......so it must be true /s/

What gives u guys a legitimate shot once again is your defense. All Eli has to do is hit OBJ once or twice and it could be game over. Eli could throw for 50% completion and still win the game! that is what a championship defense will do for u. Would wish u luck but think I'll pass...
 
NFC QB's
Postseason Record:

Manning 8/3 .727
Wilson 7/3 .700
Rodgers 7/6 .538
Romo 2/4 .333
Ryan 1/4 .200
Stafford 0/2 .000
Prescott 0/0 .000
 
Just a tough year in the NFC with all these SB-winning QBs. The only tougher year I can remember recently is 2014 in the AFC when Brady, Peyton, Big Ben, and Flacco were all in the tournament.
