5. Philip Rivers

Rivers, much like Luck, is bedeviled by those around him. Still, he has racked up 2,285 yards and 15 touchdowns halfway through the campaign. He will find himself in Canton one day.

4. Drew Brees

Brees helped the Saints to a huge win over the Seahawks on Sunday, continuing to rifle the ball all over the place. With nine games left for New Orleans, Brees has 2,366 yards and 18 touchdowns.

3. Derek Carr

Carr authored the 20th game in NFL history with 500 passing yards on Sunday, beating the Buccaneers. Carr has 2,321 yards and 17 touchdowns to three interceptions. The 25-year-old might be the leading candidate for the MVP right now.
