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.

I really have enjoyed reading a lot of the comments here, let alone going through the rankings. Both the rankings and the comments there are things I completely disagree with, but agree with more then disagree with.
What i would have to really disagree with is Warner's high ranking. You realize his age and his brittleness at times? The win now thought is also a bit misleading too. I have Flacco and would not trade him for Warner, let alone for Rodgers. Rodgers looks terrorfied at times, while i watched Flacco hang in there with big rushes baring down on him.
Ryan is overrated, period. He has a big arm and the 2 years he will get Gonzo will help, he will need it when we realize again how bad Robbi white is.
Also people have talked about how some teams are run first. Well, as we have seen with the Steelers, they are no longer a run first team.
Romo could be moved up to tier 1 as well, while brittle Schaub can be moved down.
The price of POSSIBLY winning now, can install some serious damage to your hopes for seasons to come. So be weary and balance out the pros and cons.

P. Manning is no longer the number one quarterback, D. Brees and T. Brady are ahead of him. I agree, there are safer bets than ranking M. Ryan number 4. D. McNabb and T. Romo are rank too low in my oppinion.
