Who's the third best quarterback in the NFL right now?

Well it would be easy to say Favre, and I think a strong argument could be made, but I am inclined to say Roethlisberger, and not just because of his age.

He is a guy many, myself included, wrote off after he followed his abysmal superbowl performance with an even worse 06 season. I figured him to be a product of a great line, strong running game, and world class defense - certainly not a franchise player.

However, his growth this season has been remarkable. His rating of 110.2 is second to only Brady amongst active starters. His accuracy, particularily throwing the deep ball, is tremendous. Moreover, he has shown a poise and leadership in recent weeks that has been, as Ward alluded to this week, Elway-esque. Finally, his size changes the way defenses must react to him since he his so hard to bring down (plus he's deceptively quick, and he's as good as anyone in the league at knowing when to use his feet).

Who do you guys think is the third best qb in the league right now?
