Vote: 2008 Regular Season Fantasy Football QB Of The Year

With most leagues closing out the fantasy football regular season after week 14, it's time vote for your 2008 Fantasy football regular season movers and shakers.  I will post the results for the Fantasy MVP, Fantasy Rookie of the Year, and 2008 All-Fantasy team on Saturday Dec. 13th, 2008.

The Finalists:

Drew Brees, QB (Saints):  Despite the mediocrity of the New Orleans Saints record to date, Drew Brees has been a fantasy monster this season.  He has been chasing Dan Marino's single season passing yards record since week one and has posted very impressive fantasy numbers along the way.

Kurt Warner (Cardinals):   In a year where Kurt Warner(37), Kerry Collins(36) and Brett Favre(39),  all landing starting jobs with their respective teams, 2008 might remembered as the year of the "old man quarterback".  Kurt Warner has been the most effective fantasy option of the bunch all season long.  Warner is putting up better numbers than he did in both of his NFL MVP seasons with the Rams, and is once again being mentioned for the award this season.

Aaron Rodgers, QB (Packers):  Rodgers had big shoes to fill this season after replacing Brett Favre under center for the Green Bay Packers.  He has done exceptionally well under the circumstances.  The Packers have a poor record this season and are going to miss the playoffs, but it is hard to put too much blame on Rodgers.  Fantasy owners who put faith in the first time starter were rewarded with some pretty hefty numbers this year.

Philip Rivers, QB (Chargers): Philip Rivers had a solid year behind center San Diego.  Which was huge for the Chargers, given that L.T. struggled for most of the season.  Rivers was one of the top five QBs in Fantasy, and a real producer for fantasy owners this year.

Jay Cutler, QB (Broncos): Jay Cutler really bounced back after a rough 2007 campaign.  After being diagnosed with diabetes and now undergoing treatment, Cutler has bounced back as a top five fantasy QB this year.
