It's a crime that he's not on the list, while QBs with fewer postseason wins are on the list. Oh, wait, that's impossible. Never mind.

1. Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
2. Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis Colts
4. Randy Moss, WR, New England Patriots
8. Carson Palmer, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
13. Terrell Owens, WR, Dallas Cowboys
17. Ben Roethlisberger, QB, Pittsburgh Steelers
22. Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis Colts
28. Chad Johnson, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
35. Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints
48. Wes Welker, WR, New England Patriots
Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys.

I'm third in passing yards and second in passing touchdowns last year. I have no problem being listed behind Drew Brees or Big Ben, but Wes Welker? I assume Big Ben and Drew Brees are there because they don't have a superstar receiver like I do with TO. Of course, that didn't hurt Brady and Manning's ranking. Don't you think maybe Wes Welker is there because of Brady and the system? In four NFL seasons, more than half his receiving yards came from last season.

IMHO, I'm deserving of between 35 and 48.

I like Romo, not sure where exactly he falls in line at QB. I'll take Brady/Manning as pretty interchangable at 1/2. I like Big Ben 3rd (I tend to think Palmer is a bit overrated - he has great weapons and throws a ton). Long-term, I probably take Romo over Brees, not sure right now.

Derek Anderson had a monster year and no one is on his nut sack. I'd take him over Romo. Younger QB with a younger team.

Romo had a much better year than DA. 8% higher completions, 0.9 higher YPA, +7 TDs (same INTs)... not even close.
