I had my list armed and ready for my radio show.  Space prevented it from making yesterday's column.

Remember, these are quarterbacks that I would rather have in 2007!  This is based upon age, recent history and projection into this campaign.

Here are the quarterbacks I would rank ahead of Brett Favre.

1). Tom Brady

2). Peyton Manning

3). Carson Palmer

4). Drew Brees

5). Donovan McNabb

6). Philip Rivers

7). Marc Bulger

8). Matt Hasselbeck

9). Steve McNair

10). Tony Romo

11). Vince Young

12). Ben Roethlisberger

Yes, Young outplayed Favre in 2006.  It wasn't even close.

And Roethlisberger's 2005 season and relative youth makes me believe that he will bounce back in 2007.

I won't even include Jay Cutler and Matt Leinart, though I think both will explode and have better seasons than Favre in 2007.

Obviously Mike Vick would be there, but I have questions about his leadership and a possible suspension.

Please understand that I think Brett Favre is an all-time great.  He is a legend who changed the Green Bay Packers.  This list reflects worth and projected effectiveness in 2007.
