The Top Five Quarterbacks of the 2000s
The decade is almost over, and it’s time to reflect on it a bit. Being the big sports fan that I am, not to mention the fact that I’m watching football right now, I thought that it’d be nice to take a look at the top 5 quarterbacks of this past decade.
Keep in mind that this is based on everything they’ve done through the course of the decade, not based on the top 5 guys at the moment. With that in mind, it’s very well possible that some younger QB ends up having a better career (or next decade) than any of the guys on my list.
Everything is up for debate, which is exactly what makes the world of sports so great. If you have a differing opinion, feel free to chime in.
The fifth spot in these rankings goes to Kurt Warner. While it’s true that he was weak during the middle of the decade, he’s been one of the strongest in the NFL during the beginning and at the end of this decade. Having led the Rams and the Cardinals to Super Bowls, he’s been exceptional – especially when you consider the usual demise of both franchises.
Next up is Brett Favre. The veteran QB still looks great to this day, but his lack of a Super Bowl run prevents him from going any further here. Still, it’s hard to argue against the fact that Favre has been amazing.
With 5 conference championship appearances on his resume, Donovan McNabb has done his share to earn a spot on this list. The Eagles have been perennially strong during this decade, thanks to a great defense and a top notch quarterback.
Tom Brady has been at the forefront of a Patriots dynasty during this decade, and his team has arguably been the most successful franchise of the last 20 years. His numbers have been exceptional and some more of his best days may still be ahead.
Lastly, Peyton Manning is already being spoken of as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football, and some are beginning to believe that he may in fact be the best. He led the Colts to a Super Bowl, and it wouldn’t surprise me to see him win another one.
