Re: Rank the NFC East teams position by position....

I'm just going to take my point above, and move it into a top ten list to better illustrate my point.

The top 10 QB seasons in NFC East history (since the 2002 realignment)
[According to Football Outsiders DYAR]

1. McNabb, 2004 (1,393)
2. Romo, 2007 (1,295)
3. McNabb, 2008 (1,048)
4. E. Manning, 2008 (1,031)
5. K. Collins, 2002 (1,007)
6. Romo, 2008 (878) [13 games]
7. Romo, 2006 (696) [10 games]
8. McNabb, 2006 (658) [11 games]
9. McNabb, 2007 (658)
10. Campbell, 2008 (656)

Romo only has had three seasons as a starting QB in the NFL, and he's clearly the most prolific passer in the history of the 4 team division. However, McNabb has had enough strong seasons where I believe you could make the argument that he should be the divisions no. 1, and he's the only one of the group that has enjoyed playoff success.

Admittedly though, I did not realize how good McNabb's 2008 was. His case for No. 1 looks way weaker if I were to take that off the list. See:

1. McNabb, 2004 (1,393)
2. Romo, 2007 (1,295)
3. E. Manning, 2008 (1,031)
4. K. Collins, 2002 (1,007)
5. Romo, 2008 (878) [13 games]
6. Romo, 2006 (696) [10 games]
7. McNabb, 2006 (658) [11 games]
8. McNabb, 2007 (658)
9. Campbell, 2008 (656)
10. E. Manning, 2005 (604)
