SportingNews.com's Jacked up QB Ranks

So SportingNews.com put out an article on the Top 25 Quarterbacks. I started reading and found myself pretty much agreeing with every one of the top eight picks. Then I realized that they should've just made a list of the top eight. After that it's about as accurate as Peyton versus the Chargers last year in the regular season. Here's their ranks:

Uncontested 1-8

1) Tom Brady
2) Peyton Manning
3) Carson Palmer
4) Drew Brees
5) Ben Roethlisberger
6) Matt Hasselbeck
7) Tony Romo
8) Brett Favre

Thoughts: They're obviously going off of last years performances; in which case I would say that Brees should've been 3rd over Palmer. Brady and Manning are interchangeable. It's like asking which Bentley you want. Either way, it's an amazing car.
Revision: Bottom line is, 1-8 are a pretty solid lineup.

9) Philip Rivers
10) Donovan McNabb
11) David Garrard
12) Eli Manning

Thoughts: Now this is where I get to talk bad. Who did Eli Manning piss off at SportingNews.com? Garrard is the only one in this second tier that I would give a solid argument to ranking above Eli. People always talk about great QBs not getting into the Hall of Fame because they couldn't cut it in the post-season. What about a pretty-good QB playing like he's possessed in the post-season? Donovan didn't even MAKE the postseason! Rivers played hard on a bum knee, which is admirable. And Garrard was a fun (and frustrating, being a Texans fan) surprise to watch all season. But none of that compares to what Eli did. Coach gave him the ball in the fourth quarter of the SUPER BOWL and he marched down the field against a team with a perfect record AND BEAT THEM. None of those other guys have been named Super Bowl MVP.
Revision: Manning, Garrard, Rivers, McNabb.

13) Jay Cutler
14) Jake Delhomme
15) Marc Bulger
16) Derek Anderson
17) Matt Schaub

Thoughts: Cutler belongs up top in this group, especially when you consider that he played the entire season unaware that he was a diabetic. That's a man right there kids. Jake Delhomme doesn't belong in this tier. It was just last year that everyone was waiting for David Carr to pull a Tony Romo on Delhomme and steal his spot. When you factor that in, along with the fact that he played 3 games last season...why is he above Derek Anderson? I think they put Schaub in the general vicinity, but they're claiming he hasn't proved anything. What did Delhomme prove last year? Bulger missed 4 games and wound up with 11 TDs on the season. Schaub missed 5 (not including getting knocked out of the San Diego Game and the Tennessee game) and threw for 9. Call me crazy, but I'm puttin Schaub over both of those guys.
Revision: Cutler, Anderson, Schaub, Bulger. Delhomme shouldn't be in this group, so I'm bumping up Jeff Garcia to 17.

18) Jeff Garcia
19) Chad Pennington
20) Matt Leinart
21) Aaron Rodgers
22) Jason Campbell
23) Vince Young
24) Trent Edwards
25) Jon Kitna

Thoughts: This list gets goofier the further down you go. Pennington can't hold on to a starting job, so why is he even on this list? Aaron Rodgers hasn't even played a full game starting at QB and yet for some reason, Jon Kitna is ranked below him despite throwing for over 4,000 yards. Vince is an absolute joke so far, and I'm loving it.
Revisions: Kitna, Delhomme, Campbell, Pennington, Leinart, Edwards, Young, Rodgers

So here's my list of the Top 25 Quarterbacks

1) P. Manning
2) Brady
3) Brees
4) Palmer
5) Roethlisberger
6) Romo
7) Hasselbeck
8) Favre
9) E. Manning
10) Garrard
11) Rivers
12) McNabb
13) Cutler
14) Anderson
15) Schaub
16) Bulger
17) Garcia
18) Kitna
19) Delhomme
20) Campbell
21) Pennington
22) Leinart
23) Edwards
24) Young
25) Rodgers

Granted this is just an "at first glance" revision of a terrible list. I'll put my own list out later today or sometime time this week.
