Sorry, but I don’t think a QB should make the top 10 list until they’ve won at least 1 play-off game. Ryan has lots of weapons (Tony Gonzales, Roddy White, Michael Turner, and now Julio Jones), so there’s no excuse for his disappearing act during the post-season.

Can’t put Ryan above Flacco until he wins some playoff games. So far he has come up small in the big games. Meanwhile, Flacco has won at least one playoff game every year he has been in the league.

When you compare their stats, they are almost identical. But Ryan has a top flight WR crew that Flacco has never had. Tony G. is better than Todd Heap ever was. Their offensive lines are similar. Ray Rice is better than Turner, but not by leaps and bounds.

Bottom line is that Flacco has come thru in the playoffs and Matty Ice has pissed down his leg.

Maybe he is maybe he isnt, but i DO know, for a fact, that he crumbles like feta cheese in the playoffs.

OH, and jonnyb1976, it’d be more effective when calling someone retarded if you yourself knew how to use YOUR — as in the possessive of you — as opposed to YOU’RE, a contraction of you are. It’s really quite simple, if you’re not retarted… see, the apostrophe combines the two words, you and are. Your retarted means it’s my retarted, and since their is no such object as a retarted, that sentence sounds as if it might have been written by someone who is, unfortunately, mentally retarded.
It’s a shame, really, the use of offensive personal slurs, is SUCH an advanced form of debate, it would have been a devastating post without the illiteracy.

As a Saints fan, I enjoy hearing Dimitroff say this. If he thinks a quarterback who’s 0-3 in the playoffs (i.e., choker) is top 10 caliber, I like having a GM in our division who’s this “savvy” in terms of talent evaluation.

I don’t think another QB out there gets more of a resounding response from haters than Ryan. He must do something right.

Josh is no where near a top five QB. Not even top 15. Jackson is way off.

meh he has to win a playoff game before I’ll rank him top 10

Rivers
Rodgers
Big Ben
Romo
Manning
Manning
Brees
Cutler

Ryan will win the Super Bowl this year or next. How do you know? His contract is coming expiring then it’s back to “close but no cigar”

“Matty Ice”
He melts in the playoffs.

Top 10? HAHAHAHA

Not even Top 15.

Maybe Top 20.

I would take two of the rookies over him.

Ryan is top 10 in the state of Georgia, maybe.

Yeah, use some meaningless stats to make Ryan a top-10er. That’s what losers do.

I’m so sick of these “who’s top 10 & who’s not” lists. Why don’t we all admit we think our QB is the best and move on?

Everybody has an opinion and everybody can’t be right. For me, its obviously Brees. For a Lions fan, its Stafford. Awesome. Can’t blame ‘em. Don’t care.

Football Outsiders scores every play, accounts for down and distance, plus they take opponents into account. They rated Ryan #6 last year for regular season.

1.Brees
2.Rodgers
3.Brady
4.Romo
5.Stafford
6.Ryan.

Rivers and Rothlesberger had off years, Manning lost a lot of games, Vick was Vick. Sounds reasonable to me.

“Based on the NFLN annual offseason space-filling top-100 list, the league’s players definitely disagree with that.”

So? They ranked Flacco, Tebow, Rivers, and Peyton Manning ahead of Matt Ryan. None of those guys were better quarterbacks than Matt in 2012. Also, Matt was ranked 52nd in the Top 100 of 2011. In 2012 he had a better statistical season than 2011, and wasn’t even ranked at all. How does that make any sense?

The QB Tier probably goes something like this:

Brady
Rodgers
Brees
Eli
Stafford
Peyton
Rivers
Romo
Ryan
Newton

Ryan has the potential to be a top 10 QB. He has got to get better throwing the long ball. He would have killed my Texans last year on the first two possessions if he was accurate to his TWO elite wideouts on the long ball.

If you haven’t won a playoff game, you aren’t a top 10 QB.

1. Brady
2. Eli Manning
3. Brees
4. Rodgers
5. Big Ben
6 P. Manning
7. Vick
8. Rivers
9. Romo
10. Flacco

In whatever order you want to put them, the best nine QBs in the league are Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rodgers, Eli, Peyton, Rivers, Romo, and Stafford. They’re the franchise QBs.

Vick and Schaub are sort of on the bubble between this group and the ones who follow. So there’s eleven who are better than Ryan.

After them – and that’s a full 1/3 of the league, by the way – you have the guys who have flashes of greatness, but overall are just good enough too keep their jobs. Those guys are Ryan, Cutler, Flacco, Freeman, Cassel and Bradford. So, congratulations, Matty, you’re in the muddled middle who hasn’t done enough to get replaced and who hasn’t done enough to be irreplaceable.

Eli was not in the top 100 last year. How did that turn out? Should not give any credence to the players top 100 chart. It’s just a popularity contest.

He’s top ten alright, until the playoffs start…..

By: blacknole08

To be fair, it took Peyton Manning 5 years to win his first playoff game and he was considered a top 10/maybe top 5 QB before he even won a playoff game.

With that said I think Matt Ryan needs a playoff win for consideration, but he has the credentials to be in the top 10 without one.

Josh Freeman a top 5 QB? That statement means that Vincent Jackson is certifiably retarded. Seriously I wonder who he would leave out of the top 5 to get Freeman in.
