Dynasty Rankings: Quarterbacks
Loyal readers of my Dynasty Rankings blog know that the site has been woefully neglected over the past month or two. Now that Evan, Gregg and I have been released from the basement of Rotoworld headquarters after working feverishly on the May magazine (due to hit newsstands shortly), it's well past time to update the rankings.
As this is the first official update since the April draft, I'm going to roll them out one position at a time here on the Pancakes Blocks blog. Feel free to throw in your two cents.

Comments
Drew Brees > Peyton Manning
Matt Schaub > Ben Roethlisberger or Donovan McNabb
Pat "I'll backup Chad Henne in 2010" White at #29?
Wow. Just wow.

Ryan at 4 is mind blowing...more like 14.

You can't rank anybody in front of Orton. That guy is NEVER going to play short of a very serious injury to Cutler. Anybody who is a starter has more value than Orton.

SteelerE,
What are you talking about?
I'm confused. Orton and Cutler don't play on the same team.
cwess...
I didn't know I was a Schaub lover.

Did some really say Ryan had one DECENT year and then go and compair him to Rodgers? This was his first year starting as well. And you call him a stud and not Ryan? He had Farve showing him how to QB. Ryan had nobody and still proved he can hold his own in one of the toughest division in the NFL.

Aaron Rogers might be the quietest dynasty stud at any position. Glad to see Wess has him so high, although there is no way I would trade A.R. for any QB, except Brees in my dynasty league.
The guy is only a year older than Ryan but is coming off a near perfect 4,000 yard, 28 passing TD / 4 rushing TD, 13 INT season his FIRST year starting.
His WRs are young and will get even better in time: Jennings, James, Nelson.
I seriously doubt you'll be able to pry A.R. off someone's roster with something other than a monster deal because those of us who took the plunge and got him cheap last year sure appreciate him.
Great list Wess!

Matt Ryan #4....
freaking sweet. My optimism for the Falcons isn't just homerism for once!?
