Best QBs under 30

This is an awful list for a lot of reasons ("when it comes to the numbers that indicate future success, Ryan's are simply better." ) but poor Andy Dalton ranks unlucky #13 right below Tannehill and above Freeman.

Even terrible writers on NFL.com know your QB *****

Below Tannehill? That list is dumb

The 9ers back-up is better than Dalton.

If this was about the best QB's with IQ's under 30, then Joe Flacco without question would make that list too.

Don't act like it would be your first time!

Yeah Matt Ryan is so awesome that he could definitely carry a team better than Dalton.

Er, wait - didn't the Falcons have to give up half their draft and sign a HoF tight end before Matt Ryan was able to win a playoff game?

In all seriousness though - Dalton put up stats comparable to Flacco without the benefit of Ray Rice or a consistent 2nd WR or a good TE; that list is bullspit and some NFL beat-writer's excuse to **** on the Bengals (as if they needed one).

When I see Flacco on TV, he looks like he wants to cry in almost every situation.

Tannehill and Bradford shouldn't be ahead of Dalton from jump street. Several of the others may not end up better. Dalton has some of the worst coaching and one weapon and he's still shown that he has the potential to be very good.

Flacco after two years looked like a total bum. Defense propped him up long enough for him to get much better.

[Carolinabengalfanguy]

1. Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay
He's got a super bowl ring, consistently makes the playoffs, and puts up great stats to boot.

2. Joe Flacco - Baltimore Ravens
I like Flacco, but don't think a ton of him being a great QB, yet he's in the super bowl. I do agree defense has carried him through the years, but he's got it done to the tune of 8 playoff wins and a super bowl appearance.

3. Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons
I think the rest of this list has 4 playoff wins combined (3 coming this season). He's got the stats, leadership, and regular season success to take the third spot plus he finally got that playoff win monkey off his back. Now they need to build off this season and win in the playoffs more consistently.

4. Colin Kaepernick - San Francisco 49ers
2 playoff wins and a super bowl appearance vaults him straight up the list. I question if he can continue being great consistently, but we'll see. Despite a strong supporting cast he single handedly carried them into the playoffs.

5. Russell Wilson - Seattle Seahawks
Wow he proved everyone wrong. I knew he had the will and intangibles to be great I just didn't think he had the tools to be good. One of the best rookie seasons ever and he already garnered a playoff win. The last playoff win in this group aside from the fallen Alex Smith.

6. Andrew Luck - Indianapolis Colts
Somewhat disappointing to me stat wise, but the guy is a franchise QB. Turned a bad Colts team around. I think he'll be a force to be reckoned with down the road. More confident in his continued success than Colin.

7. Cam Newton - Carolina Panthers
Down sophomore campaign, but he needs some more weapons in his ariel armada. Hasn't been a winner, but has played well and raised up a Carolina offense that hadn't been strong in year.

8. Andy Dalton - Cincinnati Bengals
No playoff wins, but the first back to back appearances since our super bowl year right? Has been consistent throughout his two seasons. Has made comeback victories and hopefully improves with more experience however I agree he needs help to be a winner.

9. Robert Griffin III - Washington Redskins
Made the playoffs and was a very efficient QB as a rookie. One of the better rushing seasons by a QB in NFL history. Injured knee again could affect his future though.

10. Matthew Stafford - Detroit Lions
Needs a stronger line, consistent running game and a good #2 WR. Has had a pretty good last two years stats wise especially in 2011. Led them to the playoffs last year. Should have done better with Johnson at his disposal, but let's blame the Madden curse lol I mean come on he caught 4 TD's who cares he almost got 2,000 yards his record was pointless because his team didn't succeed.

11. Alex Smith
12. Josh Freeman
13. Sam Bradford
14. Ryan Tannenhill
15. Christian Ponder
16. Matt Flynn
17. Jake Locker
18. Brandon Weeden - he's under 30? Ridiculous 1st round pick.....
19. Blaine Gabbert

If I were to make a <30 Best QB list it would be very similar to this one.

That's definitely one of Flacco's flaws. Too vocal and he wears his emotions on his sleeve...
