Tony Romo has clearly set himself apart this season and may actually be better than Manning at this point. Romo is faster and more elusive than manning, but peyton probably is more accurate. But after these two who is the next best? the talent level does not seem close. Farve is having an awesome year, but he is far too streaky. Brady puts up numbers but he has more talent around him and he just throws the ball up and Moss go and gets it. Brady has not been that accurate and gets 10 minutes before he has to throw the ball. If Romo had that he would have at least 10 more TDs than brady at this point. And is Drew Brees a consideration?

even though he is probably overrated, Brady is having a great season. I dont think he's as accurate as Romo though. So Brady is probably ahead of farve and palmer

You're joking, right? The second best QB in the league is Romo? Romo better than Manning, Brady, AND Favre??? Okay, Romo is faster than Manning, but depending upon how you define elusive, Romo may not have the edge - Manning moves around the pocket better than anyone, and he is easily the most accurate qb in the league, and he reads defenses better than anyone. Apparently Romo does not read defenses as well or make as accurate throws, evidence of his 10 interceptions and lower completion percentage.
Speaking of interceptions, let me ask you something - Who has thrown the most interceptions this season? You probably dont know, so I'll just tell you - it's a tie between Romo, Brees, Griese, and Palmer. You can't be the best QB in the league and throw that many picks.
I agree with you that Brady's stats are greatly inflated, but at the same time, he only has thrown 4 picks, and he's using the tools he has. He's still way better than Romo. Romo would have far lesser stats in NE's offense.
So to answer your questions,
The top 3 QB's in the league at this point are Manning and Brady (in some order of 1 and 2), and the third best is currently Ben Roethlisberger. He's been playing excellent this year, and he deserves some credit. And is Brees a consideration? Less of one than Romo would be, but if he continues playing well, than about the same as Romo.

The Dallas D-line is pretty damn good, and Romo has TO and Whitten, along with 2 solid RBs. Don't give me that argument about having less talent, because it is BS. Brady is and was an accurate passer his whole career even without top WRs or RBs.
Romo is having a good season, but who would you rather have on your team this year or for their career? Also, he is not better than Manning either. Romo may be 3, but nothing higher.

Your on crack... Brady has had the highest accuracy rating out of all NFL QB's this year and is on pace to break that record along with many others. He will most likely become MVP. Brady is the best QB in the NFL this year and most likely of all time... seriously, you have to be blind not to see that. Do you actually watch his games week in and week out? He has thrown the ball up to Moss probably 4 times and had it not been right on the numbers 3 out of those 4 times it would not of been a completion. I know you want to believe that all he does is throw the ball up to Moss, but he still spreads the ball around more then any other QB in the NFL and threads the ball like no other QB in the league. I mean how do explain how well he has done with no recieving corps for the first 7 years of his career that changed every year and him still looking unbelievable? Maybe if you actually WATCHED him play all the time... you would appreciate the fact you are watching the best QB that ever played the game. The most impressive part about that is that he was never supposed to be.

Have you been watching football... I don't care if Moss goes up for TD's you still gotta put the ball into his hands... I belive they call it pinpoint accuracy? Anyone not putting Brady in the Top 2 need serious help... You can argue who is a better QB... Brady or Manning? Either way I'd want them both on my team...I tell it how it is...

It is definitely NOT Romo, he would be #8 or 9. I guess you Cowboy homers forget about all those INT's. I would rate Brady, Derek Anderson, Ben Roethleberger, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning above him. Oh yeah, Carson Palmer, Favre, and Eli Manning are better, too.

Romo is certainly a promising and talented QB, but your comparison to Manning and Brady is WAY off....10 More touchdowns??? (43)...LOL
He has a ways to go before he reaches the level of either of those two.....
Farve is next, considering this season only (all time, he is already in that league)...
But, I will agree is is in the pack of QB's after that.....Let's see him actually play at least ONE full season, then ask again..

Tom Brady's QB rating: 1st in league
Completion %: 1st in league
TD's: 1st again
Tom Brady is better than Romo and Manning. You must be high to not consider TB as one of the Top 3 qb's. Just another enraged Cowboys fan, licking his wounds. boo hoo hoo
