1. Tom Brady: The best QB NFL ever had?

Tom Brady is undoubtedly the finest quarterback of the last 20 years (and ever) is deserving of a seat in the Hall of Fame for each decade. Brady has been outstanding during the last decade, appearing in five Super Bowls and winning three of them. He has already won seven of those most-coveted titles. His fans hope that he will retire (not so soon) with more rings to his name.

2. Aaron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers quarterback deserves his name on this list. He began the decade with a Super Bowl season in which he led his club from a No. 6 seed to the title. Even though his team has underachieved, he has continued to thrive as a quarterback. Despite the controversies early during this season regarding Rodgers’ reluctance to play for the Packers, he is still focused on Super Bowl participation and victory.

3. Russell Wilson

With his underappreciated throwing talents and incredible athleticism, Wilson has become one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the league in only his second season. The Seahawks smartly structured their squad around the high-paid player, who is also expected to be one of the Top 10 quarterbacks of the next decade.

4. Drew Brees

Brees has passed for more than 5,000 yards four times in the last decade. He remains one of the finest passers of all time, and he has guided the New Orleans Saints back to the top of the league over the decade, following multiple seasons missed due to the bounty controversy and its fallout. The main flaw is that they haven’t appeared in a Super Bowl since 2009.

Manning only played five seasons during the last decade, but one of them saw him set records for throwing yards and touchdowns, which he still holds years later. With the Broncos, he made it to the Super Bowl twice, and he departed with a championship trophy in his arm, as so many would like to do.
