Some of the most entertaining, heated and polarizing football debates center around the quarterback position. Whether it’s arguing about which QBs are “elite,” who’s in your top five or who you’d most want to build a franchise around, things can a little testy when it comes to NFL signal-callers.
So, how do the players feel?
Well, ESPN’s NFL Nation recently conducted a survey in which reporters polled 155 NFL players to gauge their opinions on the league’s quarterbacks. The survey revealed some interesting information, like who talks the most trash or who defenders most want to sack.
Below are the results provided by ESPN.com.

It’s unsurprising that a lot of defensive players want to sack Brady. However, it’s rather amazing that players still expect him to win more Super Bowls than any other quarterback over the next 10 years. He’s already won five Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots and is 40 years old. They must really believe Brady has a lot left in the tank, and who could blame them based on the way he’s playing this season?
