Who is the 2nd best QB in the NFC?

I'd say Brady deserves the top ranking. He's got the rings and has really carried the Pats far this year. He's working with much less talent than the others in the top five. He's lost his go to recievers and still they are winning games. I didn't think the Pats would contend at all this year. To me it's a toss-up between Brees, Manning and Brady. Palmer and Rivers are close behind though. McNabb has had a good year up until the injury, but I would put him sixth on the list in my book. Until Manning or Brees get a ring, I'm not putting them at the top. It's a dilemma similar to the comparisons between Dan Marino, John Elway, Jim Kelly and Joe Montana. Most would rank Montana and Elway ahead of Kelly and Marino. But Marino's number were staggering and he's probably the best never to win the SB with Kelly close behind. I'd rather have the rings, heh.

Top five from me

1. Brady
2. Manning
3. Brees
4. Palmer
5. Rivers

Brees is the best in the NFC bar-none, and I think he's a solid contender for the MVP this year. If the Saints finish storng, I think he'll win it going away and depending on his performance in the playoffs can get the top ranking from me.
