    I just want to know one thing. How can you but Rodgers, Cutler, Rivers, or either of the Mannings against both Chad Pennington and Brett Favre. I respect your opinion but lets take a step back. Chad has the dolphins tied for 2nd in the AFC East after a 1-15 showing last season and Favre, despite his turnovers, has easily out performed the majority of the people on that list. Coming from someone who doesn't really like Favre all that much I can relate to your thinking but to say that he hasn't out played Peyton or Eli this season is just insulting to the man. Liked your power rankings alot. Who would win in a game though Bengals or Lions?
