Sigh.. another football fan pretender on the scene.

First off Dante who had a horrible season last year is only in his 4th year in the league. You can't compare that kind of experience with a Brett Favre. None the less good ole Dante has learned from his past mistakes. He has led the team to 3 victories(Gus came in late in the 3rd when Minnesota was already winning). He was hurt by a cheap shot to the back when he was already a good 4 or 5 feet into the end zone. More importantly he's not making the interception mistakes he did last year. He's maturing and a good QB.

A comment about Vick. Vick didn't get hurt scrambling.. he was hurt when he was flushed to the right of the pocket.. he was looking to pass and went down. You might want to review your films again.

Aaron Brooks looks horrible this year. Granted I think he's a decent QB.. but he's struggling this year.. all QB's have bad years.

You think Jeff Garcia is one of the best QB's in the league? I think this automatically disqualifies you from who the great's are. You mention Jeff's name but don't put Peyton Manning in the top 3? Jeff Garcia is not overrated by any means but he is not a top 3 QB.. SF has had the benefits of a sound offense(WR's and RB's) have always been strong. What makes Jeff good is that he is a competitor.. he lays his body out on the line for the win.. just as he's playing with a back that is hurt alot worse then he is letting on.

Bledsoe is an outstanding QB. Even with NE towards the end of his time there he did well with a receiving core that was a joke and a non existant running game. He has shown in Buffalo that his arm is one of the strongest to ever play the game. He's definitely top 3.

McNair could very well be the BEST QB in the league right now. The guy is quick(although he's become less of runner and more of pocket passer, espically this year). No one can argue how tough the guy is. Most importantly he's a winner. His receievers are average at best. Eddie George is just finely starting to get over his injuries and return to old form.. yet the guy wins. At the end of day all that matters is the scoreboard. McNair gets that done.

I'm starting to see the cracks in your armor - I have seen every single game Daunte Culpepper has played in and I can say unequivocally that he does not have what it takes - It is EXTREMELY rare for Moss to catch a deep one with him in the game (whereas Gus already has 3 long TDs and another long reception to Moss, along with 2 long TDs to other receivers.) With Gus in the game, the Vikes are capable of scoring on any play; with Daunte in the game, your'e just glad when he doesn't fumble.

Vick didn't get hurt scrambling.. he was hurt when he was flushed to the right of the pocket

Huh? Since when is being flushed out of the pocket not scrambling? The fact is he's hurt from running around instead of getting rid of the ball. The fact is that McNabb broke his leg and was out for a half a season because he relies on running too much. Meanwhile Favre is working on 100 or 150 straight starts.

You think Jeff Garcia is one of the best QB's in the league? I think this automatically disqualifies you from who the great's are.

Check out the stats yourself, Garcia has more passing touchdowns, more yards, a better quarterback rating, and almost as many rushing touchdowns as McNabb; its not even close. I didn't say Garcia was one of the best, but he's definitely better than McNabb.
