2004 NFL Draft QB's, best ever?

Take a quick look at this list:

Eli Manning...1...NY Giants

Phillip Rivers...4...San Diego

Ben Roethlisberger...11...Pittsburgh

JP Losman...22...Buffalo

Matt Schaub...90 (3rd round)...Houston Texans (Drafted by Atlanta)

Luke McCown...106 (4th round)...Tampa Bay (Drafted by Cleveland)

All of these guys have started at least once and have already won 2 super Bowls that's as many as the "Best Ever" QB class of 1983 won (Elway...twice). In fact it took Elway 14 YEARS in the league before he finally won that one.

Statistically, the '04 class may never measure up to the '83 class (Marino alone makes that unlikely) but they already measure up championship wise. In addition Eli, Rivers and Big Ben all have reasonable shots at winning a few more of those Lombardi trophies.

Regardless, the QB draft of 2004 was pretty impressive.
