Looking Back at the Decade's Best QBs

By Alex Madison

I can't believe we're almost done with yet another decade. In just several weeks, the end of the 00s will be behind us, and I'd like to take the time to look back at the decade that was, showcasing the best five NFL quarterbacks to have played football during these ten years.

These rankings will have more to do with the decade on a whole than they will with who's the best at the moment. Based on that, there's ample opportunity for the ordering of this list to change once each career is done.

These are all a matter of opinion, and yours might be different from mine. If you feel that I've gotten this order wrong, I'd love to hear your reasoning.

Kurt Warner. He started out the decade as one of the best QBs in football, and incredibly he'll finish it near the top too. He had a lull mid decade, but the Cardinals' Super Bowl appearance last year definitely earns Warner a spot on the list.

Next up is Brett Favre. The veteran QB still looks great to this day, but his lack of a Super Bowl run prevents him from going any further here. Still, it's hard to argue against the fact that Favre has been amazing.

With 5 conference championship appearances on his resume, Donovan McNabb has done his share to earn a spot on this list. The Eagles have been perennially strong during this decade, thanks to a great defense and a top notch quarterback.

Tom Brady. With his three Super Bowl rings, a 212-90 career record, and a 93.4 career QB rating, all of which took place during the course of the decade, Brady has been phenomenal.

Lastly, Peyton Manning is already being spoken of as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game of football, and some are beginning to believe that he may in fact be the best. He led the Colts to a Super Bowl, and it wouldn't surprise me to see him win another one. - 31376
