Best Quarterback in the 2008 NFL draft?

Ok ok OK, I get Matt Ryan is the best quarterback in the draft.... seeing how his career wasnt half as good as Brian Brohm or Andre Woodson. (laughs) Matt Ryan was a nobody all the way up till about a month after the season was over. Its obvious these NFL gurus pick 40 times, and how high you can jump over pure talent. WTF? No wonder theres so many busts in the NFL. Overlook the fact that Andre Woodson had a line similar to David Carrs in Houston, and his #1 receiver was out and he was handing off to his 4th string running back, and overlook the SEC record for touchdowns and National Record for most attempts without a pick and base everything on a senior bowl. Wow. How pathetic are these guys? WHAT DID MATT RYAN ACCOMPLISH? NOTHING!!!! 18 or 19 interceptions in a weak ACC? Im still laughing. Now you people who listen to and mock everything that Todd McShay and Mel Kiper says.... go hatin. Just keep hatin. You cant coach what Andre Woodson did behind that sorry @$$ line of his.

Update:

The defense wasnt the problem in Louisville, it was Kragthorpe.

    Well this is the reason Matt Ryan is number 1, if you look at Henne, Woodson, and Brohm. all of them had good receivers through out their career ryan really never had any good hands down gamebreaker. He had alot of plays for his teams. Eventhough he had 18 interceptions, he still won games. regardless of in the ACC but anyone he played. He also makes good decisons in regards to trying to win the game.

    If you look at Brohm he has talent but he can't stay healthy and what good is a QB if you can't stay on the field.

    Now Woodson now he has set records, but at the begininng of the season i though Woodson was the hands down best QB in the league he had the receivers and the talent to get the job done. But eventhough he was in the SEC, regardless of how tough it is but towards the end of the year he made to many mental mistakes. He had a good offensive line because at the beginning of the year he was sling the ball left and right, it was just he held onto the ball to long and just was making to many mistakes. also he could have beat alot of teams in the SEC but he just didn't make the plays.

    Also i think Ryan is a little better than Woodson because he doesn't get rattled as easy. As he is tougher since he played with numerous injuries in the 06 and 07 season.

    Now i do think Woodson if he sits out for a year and learn a little i tihnk he will be a pro bowler but as of right now Ryan is ready to play.

    lol at the 2nd guy. woodson is fast? compared to what, a snail? woodson has the slowest release of any QB in the draft. that was exposed during the sr bowl. matt ryan had so many INTs because he threw so much in college. when you throw as much as he did, mistakes will happen. ryan is the most NFL ready of all QBs, but i personally think joe flacco will be the best QB of the bunch.

    Ok... Settle down.... Take a deep breath..... Everything is going to be all right.

    Now that i've gotten you calmed down i can answer your question.

    Brian Brohm is the best quarterback. He is the smartest guy out there, and is a clear leader.

    i think Brohm is the best but matt will still get pick over him

    Brohm is so underrated

    He made Louisville good Louisville D just sucked

    I think the most talented is Ryan. That being said I think Chad Henne will have the best NFL career. He's kind of a dark horse but he's my pick.

    1- Ryan (most prepared)

    2-Flacco (strongest)

    3-Brohm (most accurate)

    4- Brennan (smartest)

    5-Woodson (fastest)
