Alex Smith is better this year, but it's probably not possible to be as bad as last year.

Eli Manning is probably the top young QB despite his occasional lapses in mental awareness. He makes some dumb mistakes but makes a lot more great plays to make up for them.

Gradkowski is really bad. He has great WRs in Galloway and Clayton and can't get the job done. He has potential because he has good instincts as shown at the end of the Philly game, but execution is his problem.

Aaron Rodgers doesn't belong on the list yet. I'd have more faith in Campbell than Rodgers...or Cutler.

Strictly as a QB, Vince Young is bad. As an athlete and leader, he's great. He could have a good career despite his underdeveloped passing skills because he can always keep defenses guessing and he can make plays without having to throw. This is proven by his 100-yard passing games that still allow his team to be in position to win against some good teams like Indy and the Skins.

Leinart would be great with an o-line. He has the skills and the head...but not the time and protection to put them on display.

Phillip Rivers is a huge surprise to me. I didn't think he's be anywhere near Drew Brees as a replacement to him...but he's proving me wrong. He's the real deal. Let's hope that we'll see similar results when Jason Campbell plays since we're developing him in a similar manner.

Schaub needs a new team. He looked pretty good when given the chance, but he will be a career backup in Atlanta. He'd make every team a good backup right now, but whether he can suceed in 16 games is unknown.

MY TOP 10:

1 - Rivers
2 - Leinart
3 - Manning
4 - Grossman (ok, he's 26 but STILL a young QB)
5 - J. P. Losman
6 - V. Young
7 - Roethlisberger
8 - Chris Simms (ok, he's 26 too...)
9 - Charlie Frye (even on a horrible Cleveland team with no offensive line, mediocre WRs and a banged-up RB, he's shown flashes of great play)
10 - J. Campbell...only ranked #10 because of no snaps, but he belongs on the list.

You think Chris Simms, V.Young , JP Losman, and Charlie Frye are all better than A.Smith? WTF...
