Top 5 NFL Quarterbacks

Here is Goat Talks Top 5 QBs going into the season.

5. Ben Roethlisberger: The two time Super Bowl Champion has had his career slowed down because of his injuries even questions of retiring in recent years. However this doesn’t change the fact that Big Ben is one of the league’s team five elite QBs. He does run a lot less but in the shotgun heavy system the Steelers run, with Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell the big QB always finds a way to produce. Expect the Steelers to play in big games as long as Big Ben is there. His ability to win big games and consistently put the Steelers in a winning position is why he ranks so high.

4. Russell Wilson: If the Seahawks are scoring it’s probably from a running QB or at the end of a Russell Wilson pass. As the Seahawks had 43 offensive touchdowns, Wilson had 34 passing touchdowns and 3 rushing of those touchdowns. Wilson has lead his team to a Super Bowl title when a team is put around, and is proving the critics wrong that thought he could not play without a squad. Well he can and it’s not his fault for Seattle’s downfall.

3. Drew Brees: In year and year out no matter who is on his team Drew Brees seems to produce. Throwing for another 4,000 yard season last year, and was one tackle away from completely a 17 point comeback against that top five Minnesota Viking defense last year in the NFC divisional round. Brees has one of the best running back duos in the league and this could help take the pressure off him which he’s never really got the benefit of in his career. Expect big numbers from Brees ones again because is there is nothing less to expect.

2. Tom Brady: After an MVP season at 40 and throwing for 505 yards in the Super Bowl, and still losing not much argument on why Brady should be ranked here. You can expect him to be in the MVP race and the Patriots to be a Super Bowl contender while they have their long time field general under center.

1. Aaron Rodgers: The pick at one simply comes down to that with Rodgers the Packers are playing in the NFC Championship game every year to without him going 7-9 last year. The former MVP comes back this season and there's nothing we believe Brady can do Rodger's can not give us. Rodgers also has the ability to throw on the run and that’s what does it for us. It’s not the best QB legacy in the league it’s the most talented at the moment.
