No. 4-1

4. Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers (+3)

Big Ben has been as hot as any QB in the history of the NFL the past two games. The 12 TDs he has thrown in those two games is more than 19 of the QBs on this list have thrown all season. I don’t know how long he can keep this play up, but if he does he’ll be the top QB in another week or two.

3. Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers (-1)

Rodgers drops a spot during his bye week, but it’s not because he deserved to fall as much as the guy that jumped him deserved to be moved up. Rodgers is still very much in the discussion when it comes to who’s the best QB in the NFL.

2. Peyton Manning – Denver Broncos (-1)

Peyton Manning is still incredible and you can make a case that his overall season has been better when compared with Tom Brady’s. However, when you go head to head with another QB near the top of the rankings and get out played, you are going to get passed by.

1. Tom Brady – New England Patriots (+3)

Tom Brady completes his climb up these rankings after falling out of the top ten just a little over a month ago. Brady is playing like a man on a mission and until he cools off he deserves this top spot. When you go head to head with the current top QB and outplay him (and with an arguably weaker supporting cast on offense) you deserve to dethrone him and stake your claim as the best in the NFL.

So there is the list of this week’s top QBs in the NFL. Is anyone too high or too low for your liking? If you can make a case for a different order I’d love to hear it in the comments below. Thanks for reading.
