Best QB of the 2000's?

[ColtDawg]

Tebow?! Don't get me wrong I'm rooting for him to succeede but he is far from teh best quarterback of the 2000's. FOr one he's only played in like 10 games. For another his quarterbacking skills are severely lacking. He's a great leader and a great football player but he's an average quarterback.

Are we talking the decade or the century? Either way it's a straight fight between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady nobody has been able to hit their level of performance over a prolonged period of time. It seems Peyton gets forgotten because he's missed a season through injury but he's been without doubt one of the finest QBs to play the game in the modern era, the same applies to Brady they both have the capacity to dominate a game and get their respective teams over the line in tight situations.

Of the 2 I'm going to swing towards Brady for the simple fact that the NFL is all about winning Super Bowls and he's won 3 and Peyton for all his brilliance has only won the 1.

The younger brigade are catching fast especially Brees and Aaron Rodgers but to talk about best QBs since 2000 it is purely a 2 man contest.

Peyton manning, because you can see what he means to his team. Look at how terrible the colts did without peyton manning. They went from super bowl contenders to the worst team in the league. That just shows how much peyton manning is really worth.

I suspect that if Brady spent an entire season out as Peyton did this year the Pats would slump from playoff contention as well, though not as thoroughly as the Colts. I refuse to believe that Colts go from 10-6 (and losing a playoff by 1 point) to 2-14 and just looking like a team of fusterclucks only because of the QB going down, there has to be something else to it.

I would say Brady simply because he's won more super bowls

Peyton all the way. No one has ever been able to lead a team the way he does. Just look at how we did without him...

My vote for the best quarterback is for Aaron Rodgers. He is an awesome quarterback. He knows just where he is going to throw the football and it gets there. He has quite an arm. He is an incredible player.

Best Quarterback in the 2000s is a no brainer to me! Peyton Manning!!!

Of the 2000's? Only two names are going to come to mind in that case. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning

They did lose him for the season and Matt Cassell stepped in and took them 1 game from the playoffs.

The only answer here is P. Manning.
