NFL Playoff Power Rankings

Best quarterback
1. Peyton Manning, Colts — Enough about the lack of multiple Super Bowl
bling. Give him time, and the NFL's king of commercials should match up with history's best quarterbacks just fine in the jewelry department. By the time he's finished his playing days and coaching up his own little Mannings, he may own every passing record in the book — even all of Brett Favre's prodigious numbers, including Mr. Wrangler's Iron-Man streak of consecutive starts.

THE REST:
2. Brett Favre, Vikings — Having his best season ever, finally controlling his gambling urges at age 40.
3. Drew Brees, Saints — The hero to all with unusual birthmarks, all the inspirational Brees is missing is a title.
4. Mark Sanchez, Jets — No 23-year-old should be able to handle his success and the Big Apple madness with such ease.

MORE ON THE QBs ...

* Best arm/long ball — Brett Favre, Vikings: Even at his age, Favre can still sling it with the best of 'em.
* Most accurate — Drew Brees, Saints: Can't argue here, since he set the NFL's all-time single-season record for completion percentage.
* Best at reading defenses — Peyton Manning, Colts: Some joke that he's the real coach of the Colts.
* Best pocket presence — Peyton Manning, Colts: Threw the most passes in the NFL, yet was sacked the fewest amount of times.
* Best charisma — Brett Favre, Vikings: All four have moxie, but Favre wins for not being ashamed to throw his Wranglers on the ground.
* Most likely to throw an INT at the worst time — Mark Sanchez, Jets: Avoiding the big picks lately, but he's still a rookie.
* Best overall passing game — Saints: Hard to pick one among the Saints/Colts/Vikes trio, but New Orleans is loaded with X factors.
