Ranking the Top 10 Quarterbacks in the NFL

Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. The two names are the gold standard of NFL excellence. While both future Hall of Fame quarterbacks down play the significance of facing each other and build up the importance of Denver and New England playing Sunday with playoff implications on the line (it seems every time they meet, playoff implications are on the line) they both know their importance to their “rivalry” in professional football.

It does not get any better than this.

If you are looking for something to hang your hat on for this game and the game within a game, beside the fact Manning is not the best playoff quarterback and Brady seems to thrive in the post season. Broncos’ fans will love the fact Brady has not done well over the years facing Denver. There are subplots all around this one.
