Scouts, Inc. ranked the 64 quarterbacks in the NFL 1-64 in a new ESPN.com Insider article (right now the article is available to all as a Free Insider Preview). There was no doubt as to who number 1 and 2 are. According to Scouts, Inc. that honor belongs to New England’s Tom Brady and Indianapolis’ Peyton Manning.

Scouts writes on Brady:

“Brady is a future Hall of Fame QB who is having a career season. He leads the NFL in touchdowns and completion percentage and has a league-best QB rating of 123.4. There is no longer a debate over who the best QB in the NFL is — Brady has moved ahead of Manning”.

On Manning:

“Like Brady, Manning is a future Hall of Fame QB. There is not a QB in the NFL who studies the game as much as Manning, and he is one of the best competitors to play QB. Despite losing several key players to injuries this season, Manning has still completed 64 percent of his passes and thrown for 27 TD’s”.
