Best Young QB after Brady and Manning (P)?

OK Charger fans.  Have a friendly questions from accross the country in Dallas.  Im comming over from Bloggin with the Boys with a question about the best "up and comming" young QB in the NFL after Tom and Payton.  Want to get your opinions.  Scounts Inc put out an article as to who the best young QB was:(in no order)  Ben Rothlisburger, Tony Romo, Eli Manning, Phillip Rivers, and Jay Cutler.  I think its a great questions to ask and I know your fandom will play into it, but try to look at it through the eyse of someone that has no partiality to anyone on the list.

The question is, who is the best young QB in the league?  I guess the best way to look at this, keeping your fandom out of it, is who you would want to start a team of your were to get a new franchise.  The arguement that Scounts Inc put out there was Big Ben and Eli have the only hardware.  Fair enough.  They gave Rivers mad props for palying in the AFC game with the torn ACL last year, which to me doesnt do much bc they lost the game.  Cutler, other than two great games this year, hasnt done anything.  Their knock on Romo was play in the big games.  The only true big game that his QB play wasnt his best was last year agains the GMen.  He played well enough to win the Seattle playoff game 2 years ago as a QB.  I dont put the drop snap on his "QB" play, but just a crappy fall out.  And remember, other than your boy Big Ben, no one does well in their first playoff appearances (aka Payton Manning lost first 6 games)

My thought would be to but Big Ben first, Romo second, Cutler Third and Eli and Rivers fourth and fith (either way).  I want to get your opinion as Charger fans on what you would do.  I know Eli has a ring, but i do remember last December, everyone in NY was ready to cut off his head and ship him out.  I know, as FOOTBALL fans you can admit that your AMAZING DEFENSE won yall that ring (all throughout the playoffs) and Eli just didnt loose you any game.  He did step up and make some great plays, but do you think that Eli is truely a GREAT UP AND COMMING QB?  Or was he just in the perfect situation, as long as he didnt loose it for you? 

I think Tony has what it takes to be good in this league for a long time.  As does Big Ben.  I really put these two above everyone else.  But i must say, if Cutler continues to play like he has started this year, he could be #1 or # 2 next year.  I think because i really havent seen enought of Rivers to really comment on.  He has some major weapons but just doesnt seem to do much for me.  Im open to be convinced otherwise for sure.

Its a tought thought.  And i want to try and keep my partiality out of it, but i just see the tangibles and intangibles that Ben and Romo have to be better than Eli as a STAR QB in this league. 

Would love your thoughts.  Thanks for allowing me to post on your blogg.  Good luck!
