Top 10 QBs Under the Age of 30

, QB, Chicago Bears—The 2-5 segment of this list was really thought-provoking. I like Cutler's production, and the fact that he did it in his second year starting as well as him probably having among the most raw talent at the position.

It will be interesting to see how he adjusts this season going from having a guy like Marshall compared to having a guy like Devin Hester (is that night and day or what?) , though I do think the fact that he is a good, accurate QB who gets the ball there in the blink of an eye could make the players around him better.

Also, I think Matt Forte is arguably the biggest benefactor of the trade, since he will have more space to do his thing. The Bears should do their best to build their offense around Jay, get him some reliable pass catching targets to compliment Olsen and their running game.

If they do that, they'll have their first franchise QB since World War I.

 

2. Carson Palmer, QB, Cincinnati Bengals—As I said earlier, the 2-5 segment of this was very thought-provoking. I had Palmer at every single spot at one point or another, before I finally settled on the No. 2 spot for him.

He is coming off an injury-plagued campaign, where he struggled and eventually was KO'ed for the season a quarter of the way through it. But the two seasons before that he did throw 54 TD passes and for over 8,000 yards.

It's hard to argue with a guy with Palmer's natural ability and total production rebounding and playing like the elite QB he is.

 

1. Philip Rivers, QB, San Diego Chargers- Even though he throws the ball like he is in a shotput competition at the Olympics, Rivers gets the job done. He gets better each season, and last year led to a 34 TD, 11 INT, 4,000-yard campaign.

He has a nice set of weapons at his disposal. Having stability around him as far as the playbook helps immensely. It seems like everyone understands that except the Washington Redskins. Barring any injury problems, Rivers should and probably will put up big numbers on a consistent basis for the San Diego Chargers.
