Aaron Rodgers is much more consistent then Eli and Big Ben, which is why I put him at the top of the list over Eli and Big Ben who is number one on the nfl.com list.  Eli takes second because he has beat the Pats two time in the super bowls, and he plays the big stage well, Ben has a history of turn overs in big games come the playoffs.  His two super bowl wins keep him in the top 3 and also his escape ability when plays break down.  Eli had a sensational year last year, making a living in the fourth quarter, and ended up taking a team nobody thought would make the playoffs all the way to the big dance, and won it.  Rodgers still takes the top spot because he was much more consistent then Eli and Ben last year, and he has been on fire, even though he lost to Eli in last years playoffs, he still holds on to this spot.  If Eli can keep up his play next year he will take the top spot, but just because he had a breakout year does not mean he deserves the top spot.  However it seems that next season he will come in strong and only keep on improving.
