Brees, Rodgers, Rivers first come to mind

then you can argue Schaub, Roethlisberger, Romo and little Manning

Forgot about Drew Brees. Rodgers and Rivers aren't better...they're on par at best. Give them a few years and maybe we can say they are better.

Situationally you could make an argument for having any of them, I'm just saying who had the better performances across the season.

If you value accuracy even in the slightest, it's hard to argue in favor of McNabb.

I can't think of one thing McNabb does better than Rivers. Throw deep? Nah.

they're both very good deep throwers. they're just different types of qb's but both are very good.

Very good almost undersells Rivers' deep accuracy. McNabb still misses a lot in the deep field, but he ranks a lot higher in those stats than in the intermediate and short field breakdowns. I think he's a top five deep ball thrower, if possibly just fourth or fifth best.

Scramble

Rivers almost never crosses the line of scrimmage with the ball, and when McNabb does, it's usually for just a yard or three.

Oh, I wasn't really referring to actually taking off. I meant keeping his cool and moving around in the backfield. Rivers looks lost when under pressure, McNabb looks like he's seen it for a decade.

Rivers is pretty much unflappable in the pocket. Out of the pocket, I feel like they are the same player. Rivers keep his eyes downfield, but no question he's less accurate when moving his feet.

McNabb is just fine throwing on the run, arguably better, even. But I might take Rivers' limited accuracy on the run over McNabb's on the run, all things considered. It's close. I don't know.

What has Rivers done exactly in the league? If you want to rely on stats over the last few years I would say McNabb is indeed a better deep ball thrower.

Let's give Rivers some time to earn all the accolades.

Outside of having been really really good and having won his division every year as a starter, not a whole lot.

Silly Tripp and his observations.
