You have Randle El listed as a playmaker?

I agree that JC has to go down field more often and show off that cannon arm. Nonetheless, in a new system in 2008, and behind a creaky OL, JC's qb rating was better than Favre, Flacco, Kerry Collins, and Roethlisberger. His completion percentage was better than Romo, Eli Manning, and Matt Ryan. He also threw for more yards than Eli Manning. And he threw fewer interceptions than just about everyone who starts. JC actually makes more good plays than you give him credit for.

As for bad plays, I will argue against Favre. Except when Green Bay had a solid defense and a good running game in the late '90s, Green Bay was up-and-down with Favre. So were the Jets. Cutler has a sub-.500 record as a starter.

The fact is, Super Bowls are more often won with qb's who are careful with the ball than they are with wild gunslingers. During the course of a 3 or 4 game playoff run, a wild gunslinger is going to kill you, sooner or later, with picks. On this note the 2007 Giants still owe Favre a thank-you card.
