NFL All-Pro Voting 2011: Ranking the League's 5 Top QBs

The following five quarterbacks should rank at the top of the NFL's All-Pro voting at the end of the 2011 season: 

1. Aaron Rodgers, Packers

The runaway leader for the NFL's MVP, Rodgers has thrown for 4,124 yards and 39 touchdowns for the 13-0 Packers. He leads the NFL in touchdowns, yards per attempt and interception percentage, is second in completion percentage and third in yards. Rodgers' 123.3 passer rating is on pace to break Peyton Manning's record in 2004. All that adds up to Rodgers being a consensus First-Team All-Pro quarterback in 2011, despite some fantastic seasons from the players next on this list.   

2. Drew Brees, Saints

I went back-and-forth on putting Brees No. 3. However, Brees is on pace to break Dan Marino's yardage record for a single season, and he's also completed 70.9 percent of his 543 attempts—an astounding percentage for how many times the Saints ask him to throw. Brees leads a Saints offense that is second to only the Packers in points scored.

3. Tom Brady, Patriots

Like Rodgers, Brady is leading the Patriots to a top seed with one of the league's worst defenses yards-wise. Through 13 games, Brady has thrown for 33 touchdowns and 4,273 yards—both good for second in the NFL. His 106.0 passer rating also ranks second. But despite having to cover for a spotty defense, the Saints have asked more out of Brees this season. No. 3 in this race is nothing to be disappointed about. 

4. Eli Manning, Giants

This is far-and-away Manning's greatest regular season as a professional quarterback. He has six comeback wins in the fourth quarter and leads all quarterbacks in passer rating and touchdowns in the final 15 minutes. He's been the definition of clutch. Manning's execution in Dallas last week was about as good as it gets in terms of a fourth quarter come-from-behind win. 

5. Tony Romo, Cowboys

It's hard to argue with Romo's numbers. 26 touchdowns, nine interceptions and a 100.6 passer rating are all among the NFL's best. While the Cowboys couldn't hold off the Giants last week, Romo's had plenty of fourth quarter moments of his own this season. Say what you want about Romo, but he's had a fantastic 2011 season.
