Mark Brunell
Drew Brees
Jake Delhomme
Marc Bulger
Kurt Warner
Brett Favre
Eli Manning
Donovan McNabb
Brad Johnson
Steve McNair
Michael Vick

Because this list is 100% mine, I left off some names of QBs who I believe are a bit overrated such as Plummer and Leftwich. But I'm sure a lot of people here could come up with a top 15 list that doesn't include Bledsoe.

Bledsoe has top career QB stats due to longevity, which is a credit to him, but being around as long as he has with his rep, one would expect more than one trip to the SB. The guy hasn't even started a playoff game since 1997 (8 years). So the winning just isn't there.
I am not sure how Palmer, Rothlesberger, Eli, Vick, Breese, can even be mentioned. I am not saying these guys wont be better, but to compare year or two stats against a guy that is ranked in the top 10 in most of the all time stats is a bit crazy. Vick is the most over rated, over hyped players in the NFL. Brad Johnson, are you kidding. Serviceable, but not as good. Jake D is not as good as people make him out to be. The guy benefits from throwing hell marrys to Smith. He throws way too many ints and gets help from a pretty damn good defense most of the time. Hasselbeck has had a couple of good years, hasn't played enough yet. Green has been pretty good I'll give you that, McNair, aside from his heart of champion and toughness is one of the great QBs in todays NFL. Drew breese, jury still out. Lets see what he does in New Orleans. Bledsoe has been with 3 teams, 3 offenses to learn and puts up pretty consistant numbers.

Top Qbs in todays NFL (not in any order)
P. Manning
D. McNabb
D. Bledsoe
C. Palmer
S. McNair
K. Warner
J. Plummer
C.Pennington (when healthy)
T. Brady
B. Farve
Rest are probably about average to NFL standards. ( I may have forgotten someone obvious, forgive me if I did)
