He tried being objective, which is something of a start for King

I love how he stuck an "intangibles" rating on the table like it's a quantifiable stat.
Really, he needs to stop doing weekly columns in the offseason if pointless rankings are the result. Go freelance for Latte Fanatic magazine or something, Peter.

It's not that i'm throwing out intangibles as a factor completely, it's that it looks a little bizarre throwing an on the fly rating system on a chart where everything else is a concrete metric. It's sort of like when we make up funny names for fake "clutch" and "grittiness" stats on the MLB boards. Intangibles have their name for a reason.

Bulger at 5 is pretty accurate although he was second or third(cant remember) in passing yards and had a 3-1 rd-int rate. He played with a O-Line that was unrecognizable from the first day to the last. I still say hes just as good as Brees

Didn't Bulger start the year with like 12 TD and 0 INTs?
EDIT: LOL @ Vince Young at #7...and how Schaub, Leinart is higher than Trent Green, Vick, Eli Manning and Losman

This is messed up...
If he's using, just purely, those statistics, there's no way Young is ahead of Vick...
There's no way Young's in the top-15, nonetheless the top-10...!
And I'm a Titans fan! for crying out loud

Bulger is not as good as Drew Brees, not even his own dreams.

umm brees has 12 more tds and more passing yards but Brees has also thrown 9 more ints. Bulger has been more consistent too.

If by more consistent you mean more passes and less completions, than I completely agree.
Brees was still recovering in the first few games of this season. I remember he tried to go deep against Green Bay and it just kind of floated, and was picked off, because his arm was still weak.
I'm talking about the Saint's Drew Brees by the way, it's not like had all types of weapons in SD anyway, sure he had LT and Gates, but no real good recievers.
Bulger is not a more consistent QB than Brees.
I don't know what to tell you if you think Bulger's year last year, was close to Brees'

brees had more pass yards and more tds but bulger played more steady and played safe consistent football. Bulger has done it longer too... i mean the charges drafted rivers to replace brees..... Last year brees was good but bulger wasnt as good but can be as good or better.

How is 62% with a better recieving core, more consistent??
What's the excuse for the Rams not being as good as the Saints??
You think it was an accident that we had the #1 passing offense???
I dunno, the weapons around Bulger seem to be at least equal, considering all of our injuries at receiver......

Injuries??? Holt played most of the season injured and if was healthy could have been way more dominnt. Pace was injured half the season. A 7th round rookie who although performed well played out of position, we lost our centre in week one and we had like 7 different lineman from the first week to the last.
Funny about injuries..... Bulger threw less picks but less TDs. We could have just as easily had a 10-6 record like you. BUlger has done it longer also.

Drew Brees is better than Bulger
More Yards and better percentage
and he's younger
