With those 4 guys in the mix, you really do have the top 1/2 of the league as a 'championship caliber' QB.
Quarterback remains the most important position in sports, but it's also become the most overhyped. You absolutely, positively cannot win in the NFL with a bad quarterback. However, the more I've looked at the league over the last couple of months, the more I've realized that all you really need to have is a guy in the top 1/2 or so.
The reason you roll the dice on a guy like Geno Smith is that a truly elite QB is still a force multiplier and a nice way to cover for some weaknesses. It's no doubt easier to win with a top 5 guy.
But if 15 is the best you can do, take heart - you can still win and win big with that guy.

No, I completely blanked on Romo, Cutler, and Stafford. Whoops.
Personally, I think Rivers is done. Romo and Cutler on their current teams make it difficult for them to reach a SB IMO but they could definitely do it as far as their individual talents go.
