How many teams do you think currently have a QB that can lead them to a championship?

Let me see...

The Quarterbacks I'm sure can win a Superbowl...

Peyton Manning

Drew Brees

Tom Brady

Ben Roethlisberger

Eli Manning

The QBs I think can... (maybe have something working against them)

Matt Ryan (Young)

Flacco (young)

Phillip Rivers (He hasn't, but I don't see why he can't)

Donovan McNabb (age)

Brett Favre (really has age working against him... the NFL season is as they say, a marathon)

Carson Palmer

QBs I wouldn't be suprised, (have the skills) but I don't think will ever win a super bowl...

Tony Romo

Jay Cutler

QBs still too young to tell

Mark Sanchez

Matthew Stafford

That leaves 19 teams that should be actively looking to improve at the Quarterback position.

I have 16, too, though mine differ slightly from yours.

New England

NY Jets

Baltimore

Cincinnati

Pittsburgh

Houston

Indianapolis

Tennessee

San Diego

Dallas

NY Giants

Philadelphia

Green Bay

Minnesota

Atlanta

New Orleans

I excluded Detroit because, too be honest, Matthew Stafford has yet to actually prove that he can lead his team to a championship. This is not to imply that Stafford as of right now cannot, but rather he has yet to prove that. His injury last year is a big part of that.

In turn for Detroit, I added Vince Young and Tennessee. Last year's awful start has them pegged in the public's view as a cellar-dweller, when in fact all it was was a terrible surprise. Vince Young eventually reclaimed the starting role and the Titans won game after game just barely missing the playoffs after starting 0-6. If were going to say the likes of Joe Flacco and Mark Sanchez are capable of winning championships, then Vince Young needs to be included in the conversation, too, as he is without a doubt on the same tier with those two signal callers if not higher.

1. Pittsburgh - Ben Roethlisberger

2. Baltimore- Joe Flacco

3. Cincinnati- Carson Palmer

4. San Diego- Phillip Rivers

5. Houston- Matt Shcaub

6. Indianapolis- Peyton Manning

7. New England- Tom Brady

8. New York (Jets)- Mark Sanchez

9. Minnesota- Brett Favre (again assuming Favre returns)

10. Green Bay- Aaron Rodgers

11. Chicago- Jay Cutler

12. Detriot- Matt Stafford

13. New Orleans- Drew Brees

14. Atlanta- Matt Ryan

15. Dallas- Tony Romo

16. New York (Giants)- Eli Manning

17. Philidelphia- Donovann McNabb

I know people doesn't like Cutler, but he just had 1 bad year last year and is a probowl QB.

Your PS in the additional comments is the most important. I agree with most of your choices. Sadly, I am a Charger fan. They will never win the big one because they don't have the will to win. They always fall apart in the big game. The QB can be great but the team will to win has to there. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, the Jets, San Diego,, Houston, Green Bay, Detroit, Philadelphia, and the Giants do not seem to have the will to win. Or, should we talk about the coaches. If owned the Chargers I would fire Norv Turner in a nano-second. His decisions take the spirit of winning to a new low.

I do agree with your list. Let`s see if mine comes out to be the same:

1. Colts

2. Pats

3. Eagles

4. Jets

5. Steelers (Pending on if Ben returns)

6. Ravens

7. Titans (The Vince Young and Chris Johnson combo could go far)

8. Texans (I`m liking their chances for playoffs this year)

9. Vikings (Don`t think they have that good of a chance if Favre doesn`t come back)

10. Giants

11. Chargers

12. Cowboys

San Diego, Dallas, and Philly have to prove they can get over the playoff failures first, but they do have the talent to get to the big game.

I'd say less than half the league (13 teams) has a quarterback that is capable of leading a team to a Super Bowl:

Patriots

Colts

Chargers

Packers

Falcons

Ravens

Texans

Steelers (depending on Roethlisberger's situation)

Bengals

Saints

Vikings (depending on Favre)

Giants

Eagles

I think your list is pretty accurate. I like the way you phrased it as "Lead" because for some reason many fans believe QBs win SBs.

To add, I am making a Bold statement that if the 49ers OC can put together a paybook designed for the QB's strength AND bolster the weak O-line in the draft, Alex Smith might rise into that list. Smith has never had an OC for more than a year and has worked with one of the worst supporting players in 49er history.

Thumbs up to those who agree.

Dallas

Minnesota

Green Bay

NY Giants

San Diego

Indianapolis

Pittsburgh

NY Jets

New England

New Orleans

New England Patriots

New York Jets

Indianapolis Colts

San Diego Chargers

Dallas Cowboys

New Orleans Saints

Chicago Bears

I'm sorry, but if Ben Roethlisberger can win 2 and Trent Dilfer can win 1, I just refuse to believe that QB greatness is the absolute key.
