Question? Which NFC QB Is Under The Most Pressure

[Sweets]

In your opinion which QB in the NFC is under the most pressure to perform heading into the 2008 season.

Is it a seasoned vet that needs to show he can win the big one, is it a rookie on a team that is desperate to win something, anything, is it a 3rd year guy that needs to prove he isn't a fluke and save his job, who in your opinion is this QB.

Please vote in the poll above and add your explanations here.

i don't think sarcastic responses to ambiguous thread headers would be very helpful to the objective of the poll; therefore, i respectfully decline.

Aaron Rodgers.

He's taking the place of Favre, who is pretty much the first person you think of when you hear about the Green Bay Packers these days.

It also doesn't help that they drafted both Brohm, and Flynn. I smell some competition in the works if problems arise.

^^ didn't even think about that J, but that's a pretty good point (considering brohm only a year ago was in the discussion for the top pick in the entire draft).

i must agree with J, definitely aaron rodgers...

cause that dude has some big shoes to fill for sure...

T-Jack or as I call him Whack Jack arnolds. The Vikings made some huge moves tis off-season and have one of the best running games in the game with the two headed monster of AD and CT. They spent 50 or so mill in FA to bring Bernard Beriman in to help out the wide out core. He has all the tools and a top 3 offensive line in the game to help him. He has had chances and not shown all that much but this year with this talent on both sides of the ball, he will need to step his game up to stick around. GUs Ferotte is waiting in the shadows

I'd say its Tony Romo, they have these unbelievable expectations in dallas that Tony has to take them to the super bowl. As well as obviously the cowboys are americas team so more people will be paying attention to what Romo does on and off the field.

OK it's obvious Alex Smith is the guy. He was the first overall pick and has had several years to prove himself and is definitely not getting it done.

• Aaron Rodgers was drafted the same year but has been on the bench ever since.
• Tavaris Jackson just completed his first "full" year and had a decent record to show for it even though his play was mediocre.
• Tony Romo and Eli Manning are absolute jokes in this vote. One is a pro bowler that is leading one of the best passing games and the other was just Super Bowl MVP.
• Jason Campbell (same draft class as Smith) and Donovan McNabb (poor play) are the closest two that a case can be made for

But just look at the veteran starting quarterbacks taken first in their drafts since 2003:
2003: Carson Palmer
2004: Eli Manning (not to mention Philip Rivers and Roethlisberger in the first round)
2005: Alex Smith
2006: Vince Young

Of all these quarterbacks, which one HASN'T made the playoffs? Hint: it's the one in bold.

I think its going to be aaron rodgers. Especially if favre doesn't come back after all this crap

Eli by far. He has to prove that the playoffs were not a fluke.

Super Bowl MVPs aren't under pressure. Let's get real and read my post a few up
