Discount Doublecheck is the best right now, but Mr. Bündchen and Captain Papajohns are higher on the "all time" list (at least for right now).
 
I don't know who's the best, but I loved it when Eli Manning burned the Patriots in the 2 Super Bowl, otherwise he has been some where between very good and mediocre.

As much as it pains me to say it... which one has more than one ring out of that list?

I know a lot of people use this argument, but IMO it holds no merit. Rings are team accomplishments. If rings were the big differentiators, then Jim Mcmahon would be better than Dan Marino. As much of a bears fan as I am, that just isn't true. I know thats a bit more of an extreme example, but I think its a valid one (at least in this sport). A closer example would be Eli vs Peyton/Brady. Just look at this list, and Eli isn't even on it.

Personally, my vote goes to Manning. Rodgers is an excellent QB (unfortunately), but I don't think hes on the level of Manning. IMO you start Mannings career over and put him on the Pack and hes unstoppable.

Brady is also a great QB, but I think he has benefitted a ton from the franchise he is in. The Pats as a whole have totally turned their franchise around, and the Brady / Belicheck offensive scheme turned out to be a match made in heaven. But put Brady on another team and I don't think hes nearly the impact player that everyone thinks.

This was why on the big "Top NFL players of 20xx" that they do every year, 2-3 years ago the top 2 players were manning and brady I believe, and people were arguing who was better. Put manning on the pats and brady on the colts, manning will walk over the rest of the league.

So you have two quarterbacks with the following playoff records:

A: 9 Wins, 11 losses 1 Superbowl across 14 whole seasons played
B: 9 Wins, 4 losses 1 Superbowl across 5 whole seasons played
.
A is Peyton Manning
B is Flacco

I think he is at least a valid poll choice

No.. the poll really is flawed. Flacco shouldn't be on the list, and maybe even Peyton Manning.

Tom Brady - 17 Wins, 7 losses, 3 Superbowl wins
Ben Roethlisberger - 10 Wins, 4 losses, 2 Superbowl wins
Eli Manning - 8 Wins, 3 losses, 2 Superbowl wins

Tom Brady is the best QB in this era. No I am not a Patriots fan.

Seasons Played* / Average Playoff Wins per Season / SuperBowl Wins per Season

Brady / 11 / 1.55 / 0.27
Roethlisberger / 9 / 1.11 / 0.22
Eli Manning / 8 / 1 / 0.25
Flacco / 5 / 1.8 / 0.2

I think the next few years will determine his historical standing, but I don't see where he doesn't belong in the discussion.

* I counted seasons where they started at least 12 of the 16 regular season games, to try to mitigate injury / backup years
