Best Quarterbacks in the NFL

In the National Football League and football everywhere, the quarterback is the most important player on the field. A team can really be converted from a mediocre team to a great one with an upgrade at the position. Today, there is a high level of competition as far as who the best in the league are, as several quarterbacks playing are considered all-time greats. The following players make up the list as the best in the league today.

1) Tom Brady- Tom has been the best in the business for the last decade, and even though he is getting old, he is still the best. He has lead the Patriots to a 9-3 start to the year, which is nothing spectacular compared to what he is used to. He has the highest win percentage of any quarterback of all time, and he has seven more playoff wins than any other quarterback playing right now. He throws an incredibly low amount of interceptions, and always seems to win games despite who is playing alongside him. The combo of Brady and Belichick  continues to be the deadliest combo in the league.

2) Aaron Rodgers- The quarterback for Green Bay continues to prove that he is a machine. His accuracy is unreal, as he has a career touchdown to interception ratio of 4.0, which is 1.3 better than the second best of all-time, Tom Brady. His many years as a backup for Brett Favre clearly helped him, as he made the Packers his team since Favre's departure. Rodgers has the Packers starting the year with nine wins, tied for the lead in the league. With one Super Bowl win in his career already, another one could be coming in the next few years, as his Packers look great.

3) Drew Brees- The quarterback of the New Orleans Saints is third in the league because of his powerful throw and precise accuracy. Although this year has been tough, he has had a great career with the Saints, as he brought them their first Super Bowl ever a few years ago. Despite his short stature, Brees is able to throw the ball with a tremendous amount of strength, which he has been doing for years. What puts Brady and Rodgers past him is that they tend to throw less interceptions than Brees, yet his accuracy is still exceptional. Also, he has only managed to win five games this year, even with playing against the worst division in the league.

4) Andrew Luck- The man running the quarterback position for the Colts is fourth in the league because of his combination of his arm accuracy and mobility. The first pick in the draft a couple of years ago, Luck has shown that he could have an amazing career ahead of him. In his first three years, he has turned the Colts into one of the worst teams in the league to one of the top playoff contenders. In a couple of years, it would be no surprise to see him win an MVP award, or even a Super Bowl.

5) Phillip Rivers- San Diego's quarterback is fifth in the league because he has maybe the strongest arm in the league, and he can also run pretty well. Although he has had an inconsistent career, Rivers has always been known to put up huge passing yards numbers. He is also known to end the year very strong, more often then not resulting in the playoffs. He is yet to win a Super Bowl, or even make a serious playoff run, but Rivers has still proven that he is one of the league's best.
