Who do you consider franchise QBs?

[andy]

Just curious. Obviously a few, there is no doubt. But after that....seems a bit muddy

And how would you define a franchise QB?

Definitely
P. Manning
Brady
Palmer
Brees
Favre ?

Maybe?
McNabb
Cutler
VY
Big Ben
Leinart
Rivers
Matt Hassy
Romo?
Alex Smith?
Bulger

 

[andy]

Boller
Orton
Rattay

/thread

Well, technically Rattay doesnt have a team right now but theres no doubt he will be their franchise QB.

Might need to add Joey to the list as well

 

[hoosierdaddy]

umm...forgetting bulger?

 

[#11 Roy Williams]

umm...forgetting bulger?

read my mind

 

[Brad]

Perhaps Pennington too

 

[redandpewter55]

Romo should be anywhere in this thread. They aren't willing to pay him so he obviously isn't their franchise QB.

 

[rexvos]

Perhaps Pennington too

I think Pennington sucks.

 

[sffanmike25]

Alex Smith, purely because of the time and money expended on him by the 49ers. But he'll prove his worth soon enough.

 

[SonicsFan]

Perhaps Pennington too

Have you seen him play this preseason:lollol:

I wouldn't be surprised if Clemens isn't the starter soon

 

[Chicagobears34]

I would say Rex Grossman.....but I don't think I could type it without laughing

Laugh all you want. That Jets team will not win without him.

There are only 2 proven Franchise QBs- Brady and Manning. A good year where the team actually does well and Palmer will be there too.

Franchise qbs are players that not only excel in the system within which the operate, but are able to elevate the system and the play of everyone in it. With that said, I honestly think the only true franchise qbs are Brady and Manning. I would say Brees and Bulger are knocking on the door.


op:

 

[f8n4tune]

Only 2 in my mind and those would be Brady & Manning.

But I think these guys could work their way into that list if they could just shed the questions or injuries that have sidelined them.

Palmer
Brees
McNabb
