Aaron Rodgers
Carson Palmer

Game Mangers
Chad Pennington
Kerry Collins
Trent Green
Tavarius Jackson/Gus Frettore
Kyle Orton

FYP. I have not yet understood why people lump Carson Palmer into the top echelon of QBs. IMO he has all the physical tools but has not yet put it together. Sure, things may have been different if his knee is not blown out on his first throw of the game against Pittsburgh, but he has not yet showed me he is a franchise QB.

When your team has the ball with about 1:30 left in the game, needing to drive 70 yards for a TD to win, with no timeouts left, and you know, you know, that your QB can get it done, even though he's had a mediocre game up to that point against a great defense, because he's done it time and again, then you have a franchise QB.

Exactly.

I'd be surprise if he lead the Chiefs to more than 5 late game winning drives in his five years.

When the Chiefs were down with little time on the clock, I had no confidence in Green to get the job done.
