1. Eli Manning

Two-time Super Bowl MVP with best yet to come.
2. Aaron Rodgers
, Packers
As accurate as a predator drone and mobile, too.
3. Tom Brady
, Patriots
Pray for Tommy, says Gisele.
4. Drew Brees
, Saints
A brainiac extension of his coach; unfortunately, his coach (Sean Payton) is serving his Bountygate suspension.
5. Ben Roethlisberger
, Steelers
Improvisational two-time Super Bowl champion tough guy and as hard to bring down as Donald Trump’s ego.
WHO’S YOUR NO. 1? RANK THE NFL QBs HERE
6. Peyton Manning
, Broncos
Arm will never be all the way back, but the brain and the savvy sure are.
7. Matt Ryan
, Falcons
Added strength for intermediate throws, only question now is if Matty Ice can win a playoff game.
8. Tony Romo
, Cowboys
Bill Parcells refers to him as “mentally aggressive,” but critics argue that something is missing.
9. Matt Schaub
, Texans
Evander Holyfield’s favorite quarterback lost part of his ear and kept fighting.
10. Matthew Stafford
, Lions
Cannon for an arm, but five TD passes in six games after 41 last year?

, Ravens
Let’s see if he can put the team on his shoulders now that the Ray Lewis-less defense needs him to.
12. Robert Griffin III
, Redskins
The new Ultimate Weapon.
13. Jay Cutler

No need to question his toughness after Ndamukong Suh piledriver, but still needs to grow up.
14. Cam Newton
, Panthers
Mental toughness is a problem when you’re enduring a sophomore slump.
15. Carson Palmer
, Raiders
Still a 60 percent quarterback and the West Coast offense seems to fit him (7 TDs, 4 INTs), but good luck climbing out of the Black Hole.
16. Philip Rivers
, Chargers
Losing Vincent Jackson didn’t help, but what happened to this guy?
17. Andy Dalton

Not the biggest arm, but long on intangibles, and blessed with A.J. Green.

, Colts
The whole package, and imagine if he had a running game.
19. Michael Vick

But if he doesn’t stop losing the ball, he’ll lose his job.
20. Alex Smith
, 49ers
More than a game manager thanks to Jim Harbaugh.
21. Sam Bradford
, Rams
Will need to be better than 59.8 percent thrower to live up to The Next Troy Aikman billing.
22. Josh Freeman
, Buccaneers
Roethlisberger-esque size with streaky tendencies, he’s bouncing back after third-year regression.
23. Mark Sanchez

Tim Tebow expects Sanchez in top 20 if Jets will trust him more.
24. Kevin Kolb

, Dolphins
Hope in Miami that the long post-Marino drought is over.

Best 28-year-old rookie I’ve seen.

Charismatic rookie munchkin with swag.
