Here is a list of the Top 5 Quarterbacks in the NFL heading into next season:

1. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints

Last season the New Orleans Saints had a season for the record books as the dominated the competition from start to finish and were able to win their first Super Bowl title in the history of the franchise. Not only were the Saints finally able to become Super Bowl champions for the first time, but they will be a force to be reckoned with in the NFC Conference for quite some time as long as they have perennial Pro Bowl Drew Brees behind center.

Even though the consensus as of right now is that people are picking the Indianapolis Colts to come out on top next season, the Saints still have a legitimate shot at repeating as Super Bowl champs as long as Drew Brees is taking snaps in New Orleans.

With the same championship team still relatively intact, the Saints will be Super Bowl title contender next season and Drew Brees could be poised for yet another season with big numbers.

2. Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts

With four NFL MVP awards to his credit and one Super Bowl title in the books, Peyton Manning is without a doubt one of the best quarterbacks to ever play this game and will continue to lead the Indianapolis Colts as possible title contenders with every passing season.

Next season I believe we will see more of the same from Manning as he will be look get his hands on that elusive second Super Bowl title. The Colts will have their work cut out for them in the AFC Conference and within their own division (AFC South), but I think they will be able to get back into the playoffs and possible contend for another Super Bowl ring.

3. Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings

Even though many people doubted Brett Favre’s ability to lead the Minnesota Vikings to the promise land last season, the Silver Fox was able to take this up and coming team much further than anyone anticipated, including Favre himself.

With arguably his best season in the NFL in the books, Brett Favre has proven to everyone that he can still play at a very high level in this league and might just have one more year left in him!

It is uncertain whether or not the 20-year veteran will come back for one more season with the Vikings, but I am betting he will and could quite possibly be playing in Dallas at season’s end.

4. Tom Brady, New England Patriots

With the emerge of Drew Brees, dominance of Peyton Manning and resurgence of Brett Favre, the New England Patriots gunslinger Tom Brady gone relatively unnoticed over the past two seasons.

This season future Hall of Fame head coach Bill Belichick and his starting quarterback will try and lead the Patriots back to greatness in AFC Conference, but with all the competition in the conference and New England best players (Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Tom Brady) not getting any younger, this upcoming season could be the toughest in recent memory.

Even though the odds are against the New England Patriots next season, I believe they will still be a force to be reckoned with and if Tom Brady can get going early in the season, they might be Super Bowl bound.

5. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Perhaps the most promising young team in the NFL right now is the Green Bay Packers as they all the right pieces to the puzzle in order to contend for a Super Bowl title.

With one of the best defenses in the NFL, a good running game and an extremely potent offense, the Packers are on the verge of a breakout year, but all eyes will be on Pro Bowl caliber quarterback Aaron Rodgers next season as he could have a recording breaking year.

Even though Rodgers will almost certainly put up some big numbers next season, he will have his work cut out for him against some of the best teams in the league like the New Orleans Saints, Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings.
