For the 2nd week a row, last week’s #1 ranked quarterback in the NFL had a bye week. In both instances they were leapfrogged by the other. These 2 are clearly separating themselves from the rest of the field.
Two quarterbacks dropped out of the top 10. These two are Tony Romo of Dallas and Matt Hasselback of Seattle. One player reentered the list after a one week absence. One had a monster game and made his first entrance onto the list.
Drew Brees
1. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees
Brees picked apart what some thought was the best defense in the NFL – the New York Giants. He has been in the top spot each week except for last week.
2. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Manning enjoyed one week on top of the chart, but Brees regained his first place while Manning was on a bye week.
3. Bret Favre, Minnesota Vikings
The old guy continues to lead the Vikings. They may remain undefeated for awhile.
4. Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos
Orton continues to change the minds of those who thought that Denver was robbed when they traded Cutler for Orton. Like the 3 above him, he leads an undefeated team.
5. Eli Manning, New York Giants
After being outplayed by Brees in New Orleans, Manning barely maintains his #5 ranking. He’ll have to regroup or he will probably begin dropping.
6. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
The snow nor the Titans could stop Brady. He set NFL records and catapulted into the 6th spot after not having been ranked yet this season.
7. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Schaub is playing very well. He is the highest quarterback on the list that does not have a team with a winning record.
8. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
Flacco keeps dropping each week as the Ravens continue to lose close games. Many more weeks of this and he will be out of the running.
9. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
Ryan is neck and neck with fellow second year pro, Flacco.
10. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
Big Ben remains in the last position.
P.S. The lowest ranked quarterback in the league is Kerry Collins of the Tennessee Titans.

Brees is incredible. He and the Saints are making it look way too easy. The gap between the best (Saints) and second best (Giants) teams in the NFC is alot wider than I would’ve thought.
