1. NFL Quarterback - Peyton Manning, Colts

This is a no brainer. If this review was based solely on athletic ability, Manning wouldn?t be number one. But we are talking about all around quarterback and there is no one that compares to Manning. He is the smartest quarterback, one of the most precise quarterback, and easily one of the best quarterbacks to come around in a while. Look for Peyton to challenge his own TD record again this year.

2. NFL Quarterback - Tom Brady, Patriots

Again, not the most athletic quarterback in the league but one of the smartest. This guy knows how to win. He has three super bowl rings to prove it. May not always have the big numbers like other quarterbacks like Manning or Favre, but it's hard to go against a guy who knows how to win. When you have a quarterback that?s a proven winner, the confidence of the entire team goes up. Brady, just like Manning, makes his team that much better.

3. NFL Quarterback - Daunte Culpepper, Vikings

The new age quarterback of the NFL: can beat you with his arm and legs. Had a great year last year and will only get better this year. A very accurate quarterback who is prone to make a few mistakes but with all the big plays he makes it up in a big way. Even with the loss of Moss, Culpepper?s numbers will increase from last year. Look for Culpepper to have another great year and help the Vikings be contenders.

4. NFL Quarterback - Donovan McNabb, Eagles

Finally, McNabb got the monkey off his back and got his team past the NFC championship to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, the Eagles were beat by Brady and the Patriots. Now, McNabb knows how to win and look for him to get better. With the addition of Owens last year, McNabb was able to open up the arsenal and throw deep. McNabb is another one of those new age quarterbacks who can beat you many different ways. The Eagles will contend again this year and look for McNabb to have another superb year.

5. NFL Quarterback - Brett Favre, Packers

Easily one of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game. This man has a cannon for an arm and makes some hard passes look easy. Of course, he is a risk taker and does make some mistakes but you can always count on him in the clutch. He is one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league right now and it?s hard to keep him off the list. Look for yet another solid year for Favre.

The Rest:

Michael Vick, Falcons

Still more of a running back than a quarterback. One more year playing and he?ll be a top 3 QB.

Byron Leftwich, Jaguars

Still learning the ropes of a NFL quarterback but may be one of the strongest quarterbacks in the league.

Matt Hasselbeck, Seahawks

Needs to regain his confidence he had from 2 years ago. If he does, the Seahawks will contend

Drew Brees, Chargers

Needs to show that last year wasn?t a fluke. If he does, the Chargers will be for real again
