Top 5 Quarterbacks of the 2014 Season

 Top 5 Quarterbacks 

 OF  THE 2014 SEASON 

5.

         Russell Wilson- 

        Wilson in his third season led is team to a 12-4 record good for another NFC title and the NFC's number one seed. Number three comes in at number five for several reasons. Although he has led his team to a second straight Super Bowl I do believe he has a lot of help from the daunting Seattle Defense. In example, this past Sundays NFC championship game Wilson threw four interceptions before the fourth quarter. Normally when a teams starting QB throws that many interceptions especially in a a playoff game your most likely to lose but in Seattle it is a different story, simply because of the defense and what they have achieved over the past few years.

4. 

    

      Peyton Manning- 

     Manning had yet another great regular season leading his team to the AFC's second seed only behind the New England Patriots. Peyton started off hot right out the bat from week one until his age and neck injury caught up to him. As you watched you could clearly tell Manning was not the same old Manning as he struggled to make the deep balls down field. Number 18 at the age of 38 faces a tough decison whether or not to come back next season. Things in Denver would be different with John Fox out and Gary Gubiak in.

3. 

     

      Tony Romo- 

     

     In what many thought would be another disappointing season for the Cowboys Romo gathered the troops alongside Dez Bryant and Demarco Murray. Romo although didn't post his usual amount of yardage he was still very proficient and continued to play well in the month of January. Tony led the 'Boys to an 11-5 record and a controversial divisional loss to the Packers.

2. 

       Tom Brady- 

      Brady was terrific yet again this season. After a 2-2 start many questioned if the Quarterback was still "elite". He proved all his doubters wrong yet again leading his Patriots to a 12-4 record good first in the AFC and most importantly his sixth trip to the Super Bowl which is good for Best in NFL history. Brady also set a few more milestones in passing yards, TD's and wins in post season history.

1. 

       Aaron Rodgers- 

      Rodgers had yet another great run, like Brady, Rodgers came out cold. He told reports "relax" and he was right 18 weeks later the Green Bay Packers were playing in the NFC championship. A great season including an 8-0 home run this season. Since 2012 Aaron has 25 TD's and no interceptions at home. Rodgers also faced a torn calf during the last few weeks of the season and throughout Green Bays post season run.

The Super Bowl

     Not many people really understand what the Super Bowl game means to the country or even the world. It's more than a game, it's more than two teams playing on a Sunday. Year after year the big game brings more and more viewers on television across the world. I wouldn't be surprised if this years Super Bowl between the Patriots and Seahawks shatters records of viewers and revenue. Many people ask why the Super Bowl isn't a holiday or why the day after the Super Bowl isn't a holiday. How many sports do you know that have an impact like that? Of course the NBA Finals or The world series is great but they are no Super Bowl. People who don't even like the game of football watch the Super Bowl for its famous commercials or halftime shows. This years halftime show features Katy Perry who will also be hosting Lenny Cravits. There are so many big names every year whether it's the players or performers at the halftime show, thats what makes this game so huge across the world. Baseball was once Americas game that is no longer. Football has achieved that title a long time ago and it will continue to do so because of the high level of play and most importantly the Super Bowl. I hope you will watch this years, I know I will be.
