5. Ben Roethlisberger, PIT: Big Ben was great in the 2000s, but hit his statistical peak in the 2010s. He became consistently accurate and better at finding the end zone, too. His best year was in 2014, when he nearly reached 5,000 yards passing while tossing 32 TDs to nine INTs.

4. Peyton Manning, IND/DEN

Manning is only fourth on this list due to his lack of time played in the 2010s decade. But his greatness still cannot be questioned. Although he only played four 16-game seasons in the 2010s, he threw for at least 33 TDs all four years and made two Super Bowls, winning the big game in 2016.

3.  Drew Brees, NO

One of the NFL’s statistical kings, Brees has more yards and 4,000-yard seasons than any other QB in history. His career completion percentage of 67.7% is also a league record. He even managed to throw a TD in 45 consecutive games, a feat that may never be topped.

2. Aaron Rodgers, GB

A-Rod was unquestionably one of the best quarterbacks ever at his peak – his 45-TD, 6-int season in 2011 is about as good as it gets. He’s also the only QB in NFL history with a passer rating of at least 100 who has thrown over 400 TDs.

1. Tom Brady, NE

Of course, the greatest quarterback of all time would be at this spot. The ageless Brady continued to excel deep into the 2010s, becoming a true mastermind at the QB position. The 15-time Pro Bowler and 7-time Super Bowl champ has a resume that may never be matched.
