Those of you that have been here awhile have seen me post all of these QB rankings that come out because they are really fun to debate.

ESPN.com just did a list of the top 64 - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/insider/news/story?id=3147842 (insider only) and Eli checks in at #17.

I don't have too much of a problem with where Eli is at, I just have a problem with the two quarterbacks in front of him: Vince Young and Phillip Rivers.

First of all, Rivers is a joke.  The Chargers win in spite of him and he has more talent than Eli does around him, yet has slightly worse numbers.  Rivers is about to take San Diego to the playoffs but that's not saying much considering that they play in the worst division in the AFC.

Here are Vince's numbers compared to Eli this season:

Vince - 2,032 yds, 7 TD, 16 INT, 62% comp. (also 343 yds rushing, 3 TD, 4 fumbles)
Eli - 2,790 yds, 18 TD, 17 IN, 59% comp.

I know VY has had injury problems this season but he has looked as lost as Eli in a few games this year.  I think he will eventually be a very good player, but at this point in his career, he is egregiously overrated.

What is your take?  Eli too low/too high?  I think you can make an arguement both ways.

As a side note, I think it is stupid to definitively put Brady #1 and Manning #2.  Maybe it's just because I live in Indianapolis (even though I hate the Colts) but I think they are 1 and 1A.  If I had to win a big playoff game tomorrow, I would take Brady, but Peyton is going to end up having the best career numbers-wise of any QB in NFL history.  It's like comparing Montana and Marino.  It can go either way.

I love QB rankings.
