i strongly disagree, this season he was to adapt the new Westcoast offense-which took the whole season.
When did the Falcons made it to the playoff without Vick?

They made it back when chandler was the starting QB. Besides, I am not saying he is bad, just way over rated. You take into account all the passing yards and his rushing yards hes around 3200 yards and he has an even TD:INT ratio. He made it to the probowl over farve who had over 4000 yards and 30 TD to 17 INTs and took his team to the playoff with out a defence.
1. Peyton (having a huge season)
2. Big Ben (great team to be thrown into, great record, plays in the AFC)
3. Tom Brady (Playoff experience, 2 losses this season, so that's what? 4 the past 2 years? Post season winning experience, Plays in the AFC)
4. Donovan McNabb (Plays in the NFC, but when he's got Terrell Owens on the field with him he's unstopable, improvisational)
5. Michael Vick (Plays in the NFC, More improvisational than McNabb, but lacks the big play reciever that McNabb has)
6. Daunte Culpepper (In the shadow of peyton, but I don't think he'd put up the same numbers if he played in the NFC, and when Moss is out, he struggles)
7. Chad Pennington (No big play reciever, not an outstanding quarterback, but makes play, his biggest asset is his consistancy)
8. Marc Bulger (although he's hot right now, he doesn't compare to the talent of the other NFC quarterbacks and the numbers they're putting up, surprising with the big names he has around him)

1. Manning
2. Brady (I would consider #1 for him based on playoff performances, actually)
3-4. Vick + Culpepper. Vick is probably overrated, but he still affects the defense in ways other QBs don't. Culpepper is solid and the only mistakes he makes are fumbles, which don't occur too often.
5. Pennington. I wouldn't rate him anywhere near here overall, but in the playoffs he has impressed me a lot more than the others.
6. McNabb. He has the guts, especially during the regular season, but I'm just not sure how good he is in the playoffs.
7. Bulger. I would like to rate ben R higher but I haven't seen enough from him in the playoffs. Bulger is "decent" in the playoffs, not great, not horrible. If I were a gambling man, bulger would be 8th and Ben R 6th.
8. Roethelisberger

No way in hell Pennington is better than McNabb! Nor Vick, McNabb has beaten him head to head almost every time. Arguably, Culpepper you could make a case for THIS year (statistically), and Brady b/c of his past playoff performance.
Also, you can't penalize McNabb for going up against one of the best D's of all time (Bucs), and getting injured in the first half of last year's NFC game vs Carolina.
McNabb has beaten him because his defense is 10x better. And to some degree his offense. According to your criteria, brad johnson is a better QB than vick.
Pennington has shown that he can elevate his team above expectations with his performance. This is based on the 3 playoff games I have seen him play, and the 1-2 important regular season games, with every one of them being more impressive than all of the 8 or so mcnabb playoff performances I have seen. McNabb has only shown that he can play safely and not screw up. I don't see a lot of high risk, high reward plays from him that payoff, unlike pennington.
Pleaste note that those are my rankings for the playoffs. I would much rather have mcnabb than vick or culpepper (or pennington) during the regular season.

Manning > Brady > McNabb > Culpepper > Roethlisberger > Pennington > Bulger > Vick
Vick is a great athlete, but he's a mediocre QB .. I think of him as a more athletic Kordell Stewart ... which means he's fast and strong, but basically sucks as a QB.
I don't rate people on what they mean to their team, just on what I feel is their individual talent.

--- Top Tier, head and shoulders above the rest
Manning (no disputing it this year)
Culpepper (I'm surprised there is so little love for Culpepper, higher % than Manning, more yards, 39 TDs!!)
--- 2nd Tier (this gets trickier) ---
Brady (I personally don't think he's particularly great but his winning % and rings don't lie)
Bulger (his numbers don't lie and he's as cool as the other side of the pillow)
McNabb (a career 58% passer doesn't belong too high)
--- 3rd Tier (still great QBs though) ---
Vick (dangerous but not a great passer yet)
Pennington (not impressed with his dink and dunk offense)
Roethlisburger (just b/c he's unproven and has a great team doesn't have to throw much)

He may have threw for over 200 only 3 times but that's because of his lack of pass attempts per game. He averages 20 pass attempts per game & the reason is because Atlanta has the #1 rushing attack in the NFL. Mcnabb for example, had 30 pass attempts per game.
More interceptions then touchdowns? 14 TD's is more then 12 INT's? Also, you could argue that 5 of the INT's weren't his fault. 3 INT's being balls that hit WR right in the chest (peerless price) but instead of catching it, tipping it in the air & into the defender's hands. The other 2 INT's of the 5 being hail mary's to the endzone right before halftime (end of half).
Spy me and my team loses? LOL, have you even watched the Falcons games? The last time a spy worked was back in 2002 when the Chicago Bears & Baltimore Ravens used it (We lost against Chicago but beat Ravens that year). Spying doesn't really work, Tampa Bay does the best job defending Vick and Montey Kiffin stresses that spying doesn't work against Vick. Instead they pressure him from all sides, forcing him into quick decisions.
53% ? It's 56.4%, also accounting the fact it's his first year in a brand new offensive system & without a true #1 WR. But look at your man Mcnabb's stats before he had TO this season (very similar to Vick's & this is with Mcnabb being in the same system all these years):
49.1% completion, 948 yards passing, 8 TD, 7 INT, 60.1 rating
58.0% completion, 3365 yards passing, 21 TD, 13 INT, 77.8 rating
57.8% completion, 3233 yards passing, 25 TD, 12 INT, 84.3 rating
58.4% completion, 2289 yards passing, 17 TD, 6 INT, 86.0 rating
57.5% completion, 3216 yards passing, 16 TD, 11 INT, 79.6 rating
Now look at Mcnabb this past year when he got a true #1 WR:
64.0% completion, 3875 yards passing, 31 TD, 8 INT, 104.7 rating
