NFC Playoff QBs (1 Viewer)

Brees

Favre

McNabb

Warner

Rodgers

Romo

I can't wait for the NFC playoffs. Top to bottom this group is stacked, full of talent and playoff experience. 2 lock HOFers, and 2 more that at least have a chance. Not a Tarvaris Jackson or Rex Grossman in the bunch.

Has there ever been a better 1-6 group of QBs in a single conference playoffs?

I think Brees is more of a lock HOFer than Warner at this point. Which one did you mean?

FWIW, pretty much all six of these guys have a chance to go to the HOF. Very good class indeed.

Only one of those two has played in a Superbowl and after the display against Tampa today it looks like it might stay that way. I think Warner has a nice lead over Brees. After all it is not called HOF Regular Season 2008-2009.

I meant Warner and Favre as the locks, with McNabb and Brees being close. Either way, this is a fun group of QBs to see battle it out in the playoffs.

Not to turn this into Warner vs. Brees, but....4 Pro Bowls vs. 3 Pro Bowls2 All Pros vs. 1 All Pro2 MVPs vs. 0 MVPs3 Super Bowls vs. 0 Super Bowls8-3 playoff record vs. 1-2 Playoff RecordThey've played roughly the same number of games, and Warner has more yards, more TDs, a higher completion rate, a higher passer rating, and a higher winning percentage.

The mid-90's with Aikman/Young/Favre perenially in the postseason was more top-heavy than this group, but even then you'd have guys like Erik Kramer, Scott Mitchell and Rodney Peete making up the numbers.I'm more interested in situations where all 6 QBs are highly regarded.

Brees is 8.5 years younger than Warner. He's got a better chance of landing in the HOF one day than Warner, IMO. Brees could really make him a lock by the time he retires. Warner is what he is, unless they manage to win a SB this year.But agreed, no interesting in turning this into Warner/Brees.

I think they are both virtual locks, when you consider Brees is only 30.
 
If the Steelers sneak in, 5 from the AFC would be pretty amazing (might take them over the NFC top 5)

Manning, Brady, Rivers, Palmer, Roethlisberger.

Aside from the individual talent, that's 6 rings for the AFC (and a bunch of fairly young guys) vs. 2 for the NFC (from geezers).

Wow. We differ on this one.It's impossible for Brees to have a "better chance" to be in the HoF, because Warner is already a lock.

If Brees suffers a career-ending injury next week, he's not getting in.

Warner isn't anywhere close to a lock, IMO. The five-year wait could really hurt him, IMO, as worse players who played longer in this pass-happy era will have better numbers. There is also a backlog of deserving players to get in, and that's not going to slow down. There will be those who says he wasn't good enough for long enough, those who say he was a product of his system/great WRs/dome/weak NFC West defenses, and those who say he was a turnover machine for too much of his career. All of those points are legitimate, IMO, but I'd vote for Warner. I think he's more likely than not to get in, but he's not a lock at all.
 
I thought that the 1992 playoffs had Kelly, Marino, Elway and Moon but i was wrong. In 1993 there was Kelly, Moon, Montana, Elway, Hostetler and O'Donnell. 4 HOF guys and 2 average guys.

Kelly, Marino and Elway were never in the playoffs at the same time, ever.

Yea it's kind of odd when you think about it. Was 1993 the year Marino got hurt?

Let's not ignore the AFC side:

Peyton

Brady

Rivers

Palmer

Potentiall: Big Ben and Schaub

Not exactly a set of slouches either. I don't think it's a coincidence either.

Yep.From 1983 to 1999 at least one of the 3 made the playoffs every year.

I'd say you got a better chance at seeing Sanchez than you do either of those 2 in your potential category. I'm thinking something like Manning, Rivers, Brady, Palmer, Sanchez, FlaccoPretty meh after 1-3

Same thing happened in the NFC in 1999, and the NFC team went on the win the Super Bowl.
 
Wow. I am so psyched for the playoffs. Just a great roster of QBs competing against each other. Gonna be great.

If Minnesota, Dallas, Philly and Arizona all finish 11-5, who gets the #2 seed?
Click to expand...
First, you break the divisional tie between Dallas and Philly. Dallas wins by virtue of H2H, and Philly is eliminated from the rest of the tiebreaker.Then, you break the 3-way between Minnesota, Dallas, and Arizona.- H2H (doesn't apply)- Conference Record (Minnesota eliminated because they'd be 8-4 while Dallas and Arizona would be 9-3)Then, you break the tie between Dallas and Arizona.- H2H (doesn't apply)- Conference Record (same)- Common Games (doesn't apply because they didn't play the minimum of 4 common games)- Strength Of Victory (looks like Arizona wins)So, Dallas is #3. Then you break the tie between Minnesota and Philly, and I'm not sure exactly how that works but I believe Minnesota gets #4 because a wild card team can never be seeded ahead of a division winner.

- H2H (doesn't apply)

- Conference Record (Minnesota eliminated because they'd be 8-4 while Dallas and Arizona would be 9-3)

Then, you break the tie between Dallas and Arizona.

- H2H (doesn't apply)

- Conference Record (same)

- Common Games (doesn't apply because they didn't play the minimum of 4 common games)

- Strength Of Victory (looks like Arizona wins)

So, Dallas is #3. Then you break the tie between Minnesota and Philly, and I'm not sure exactly how that works but I believe Minnesota gets #4 because a wild card team can never be seeded ahead of a division winner.

Thanks. This is nuts.In reference to the bolded, is that still true? I seem to recall some uproar over S.D. being 8-8 a couple of years ago and the argument was that 12-4 Indy (the wild card) should not have had to travel to San Diego due to the disparity in records.

Palmer had some good years but is just above average right now; Sanchez and Flacco could easily be the next big things.

The AFC is 124-116 this year so far. The NFC is going to be 116-124 after tonight no matter who wins.

Apparently so.
The six postseason participants from each conference are seeded as follows:

1. The division champion with the best record.

2. The division champion with the second-best record.

3. The division champion with the third-best record.

4. The division champion with the fourth-best record.

5. The Wild Card club with the best record.

6. The Wild Card club with the second-best record.

Presuming San Diego wins today, has there ever been a better quartet of QBs in the championship games?

Peyton Manning - arguably the best QB ever, he's at least in the conversation

Drew Brees - this guy is simply awesome

Brett Favre - record holder, annoying retirement antics lately but one of the greats

Phillip Rivers - one of the young greats, could enter the truly elite with good performances here

Unless there was a year with Elway, Marino, Montana and Moon or something like that, I don't think there could have been a better group.
