[rdsknsbaby]

The only way the Seahawks dont make it to the playoffs is if Hasselbeck gets hurt

the only way most teams dont make the playoffs is if their QB gets hurt, but he is good.

There were a few years there when that meant Superbowl

I assume the purpose of the thread is to downgrade Bledsoe. You've got a lot of younger mostly Pro Bowl level players he's being compared with. Bledsoe won't get a lot of love on this poll nor should he, certainly not if the premise is anything other than a one or two year time frame. Although he might do quite a bit better if the poll published the cap #'s each player carries.

If we firm up the line and with the addition of TO Bledsoe may end up as the biggest bargain of the group this year, if not the best performer.

Yeah that explains why I left Manning and Brady off it and that only 3 are under 28.

The entire purpose of this was to get a fair sample with multiple choices of QBs with similar numbers...and to blow up some ridiculous assumptions.

I'd take Roethlisberger, especially in a Bill Parcells offense. He's a perfect bus driver, and he's an extremely efficient passer. Oh, and there's also that Super Bowl thing he just won at age 23.

with a 22.6 rating . . .
efficency is due to passing 20 times a game.

That whole 22.6 is wearing might thin.

I have yet once seen a Ben R detractor mention that his two year career QB rating is 98.1 nor the fact that Ben R posted a 148.7, 95.3, and a 124.9 QB rating in the playoffs on the road just to get to the Superbowl.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I'd take Carson, unlike Ben, he wins games by actually throwing the football

 

[Seven]

A healthy Carson Palmer. Closest thing to Aikman since the original.

Like the gal down the street...................

I'd take Tom Brady over any QB in the league so I went with Other.

But of the ones listed I would just as soon have Bledsoe as most of them. I like Delhomme and might take him over Bledsoe but not in a run away.

Palmer is an up and comer that I would like for the long haul. I think he will be a top QB for a lot of years.

I'm kinda tempted to say Roethlisberger because he has been a winner since coming into the league but I am not so sure it is him so much as the situation he had the good fortune to step into.

 

[Zippy Speedster]

You said ANY so I say Brady. I wouldn't take Manning if the Cowboys Team life depended on it- yea just what we need a legendary choker. But funny little poll, you say any qb in the league, then exclude those two as if they're too good for us to even consider.

Next poll.. Replace Bill Parcells, TO, and Roy Williams for some second rates that you would like on this team. Remember, we can't have the best, we're just the cowboys people and this is real life...this isn't Madden.

 

[Charles]

Pretty easy.........there's only one QB on that list that has a ring.........it could be argued that he's not even reached his prime..........Big Ben

 

[Concord]

Henson...Next Year!

 

[Doomsday]

I will take P. Manning.

 

[4lifecowboy]

I nhave to go with Carson Palmer, talentwise he is the most impressive QB to come out in the last 5yrs IMO.

 

[junk]

Ben R. or Palmer. I'd be happy with either.

 

[RCowboyFan]

I see sick minds do think alike.

Well, I am in the same boat then...

Hmm... Yeah, I guess I would take Brady too if the option was given, I kind of went with the options given.

 

[Arch Stanton]

Carson Palmer....and its not even close.
