After what was easily the most exciting NFL season I have ever seen, almost every single NFL team has learned something new about its quarterback, whether it be finally finding their franchise quarterback, losing their starter to injury, or watching the starter lose his job. Here is the ultimate rankings--the 32 best active quarterbacks in the National Football League.

Everybody is always talking about which team has the best fans in the NFL. You see the rankings all the time. It's the ultimate goal of every group of fans. It's not just the fans of the best teams either. Eight of these 10 teams missed the playoffs in 2008.

Alright, I respect that. It's funny how two giant rivals have like almost the same motto, I really don't care, I just wanted to see why because in the World Series I saw it a lot. Thanks for tellin me, one more cool Phillies fan. Just to let you know your type's going exctinct. LOL.

I just read your bio and isn't "ya gotta believe" the Mets quote?

This is something I've been working on for a while. It's the best catches I could find throughout history....NFL and college combined. I included videos with the descriptions, so you can check them out if you've never seen them before.

I flagged that comment as offensive. The one where he wrote "pussification." The one you responded to. That writer and that guy who left that comment both crossed a line.

Hey Joe,

If you're interested, I just posted a new article on Mark Sanchez's decision to go to the NFL. Please have a read and leave a comment if you'd like!

They are a scrappy little bunch. And the think about them is that they are are really nice guys too. And that does not get reported much at all.

Yes, I'm a CA Bay Area girl and a Bay sports fan. I was drawn to the Phillies because the remind me a lot of the bay baseball teams (but more successful, of late!)—underrated, exciting, etc. I guess I like underdogs.
