Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

I think the top 5 are spot on and then y ou can easily start debating after that.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

Vince Young at 7!! What a friggen idiot. I think teams were caught off guard by Young's mobility last season, but it won't happen as much this year. Just play him like teams do Vick: let his arm beat you (which it won't). That's just rediculous.

And as much as I don't want to say it, Noodlearm Pennington is way better than Cutler, Young and Romo. I don't mind them having JP low, it'll just make it much sweeter when he proves them wrong.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

why is everyone so high on vince young? he's the next michael vick. he will do nothing with his career except run around like a chicken with his head cut off. good luck when your knees are mush in your late 20's and your forced to rely on your sub-par arm... until he starts putting up numbers and playing like guys such as Manning or Brady then he is nothing but a glorified highlight reel IMO.

cutler, romo... please... what have these guys done to merit such high rankings?

intangibles? come on? that is some guy's opinion put into numerical form and we are supossed to take it as fact?

I agree, Cutler has done squat, Im not saying JP is better than him or anything but he is....WOOPS! i meant to say that Cutler does not deserve to be so high, especially not higher than McNabb.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

yeah, the top 6 are probably just how I'd rank them, but Young at 7 is a freakin joke. He needs to be phenomenal this year to live up to the hype he's getting right now.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

matt schaub hasn't even started a game and he's better than almost a 1/3 of the league apparently.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

Ummmm. Jon Kitna? At 9? I don't think so

I guess this takes into account that Detroit is going to field 22 wideouts this year. He'll always have someone to throw to.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

gimme a break kitna played well last year

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

Tony Romo is way over-rated in this league.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

Tony Romo is way over-rated in this league.

I think everyone will see that more clearly this season too...

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

king is a follower. he rarely gives insight into anyone's game. he follows who was the 2006 leader, mixes in with his NEw England bais and then back tracks the rest of the year as surprise teams pop up, old faithfuls fall apart, and rarely takes the knock on that.

losman at 20, shows you how he relies only on the people he interviews and the feelings he gets from them. Losman was a top 10 QB frmo the second half on. And with a better running game and better line (regardless of the acquisitions, you have to appreciate that there will be some improvement), losman should be top 15 base don last year's performance and this year's improvements.

Peter King is worthless as a football pundit. he gets the interviews and he gets some league news which is interesting. Outside that, his thoughts are no better crafted than any of us on this board.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

However, I can name about 6 QBs ranked below him that I would have put there instead:

McNabb
Cutler
Romo
Leinart
E. Manning
Losman

Give me any of these guys over Kitna.

[Bill Brasky]

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

Kitna did more with less than half those guys.

Re: Peter king's NFL QB Rankings

Kitna did more with less than half those guys.

People forget that Kitna was pretty decent in Cinncy befor they handed the reigns to Palmer.
