2) Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Did you forget about Aaron Rodgers? Before the 2013 season, Rodgers ranked at the top of virtually any list of quarterbacks, and only injury kept him from incredible numbers yet again. Rodgers played in only nine games for the Packers, but Green Bay won six of them, and he finished among the game’s elite players in non-counting categories.

Simply put, he’s still elite.

Rodgers possesses an A+ arm to go along with the most dynamic mobility of any of the top-tier guys, and with any semblance of health for their quarterback, Green Bay is always in the mix. It will be interesting to see how he fares with a workhorse running back in Eddie Lacy, but the smart money will be on Rodgers to pick up where he left off pre-injury.
