    #s 5-8 in Pro Bowls in the 2010s are Ben, Peyton, Rivers, and Luck.

    #s 1-4 are Brady, Brees, Wilson, and Rodgers

    And that's leaving MVPs Matt Ryan, Pat Mahomes, and Cam Newton on the sideline.

    From the tweet though it's 2000s and I don't think it's particularly close.

    Those 80’s guys are the best IMO. The entire list from each decade is amazing. You can debate this stuff until the end of time and everyone will have their own list of who the best is.

    thats not the only thing that skews things in their favor. Just look up all the rule changes protecting Qb’s starting in 1993 with the intentional grounding rule. Its really not the same game anymore. Those guys from the 70’s and 80’s won with none of the special protections in place

    Yep, and it was a lot tougher to be a passer in the 70s

    Not really. Every one of them shown except Brees went to at least 3 SBs, and Eli who should be on there went to two.
    Just from the guys in the picture.
    1990s went to 11 SBs
    2000s went to 18 SBs
    2010 went to 3 SBs
    2020 went to 6, and 5 of those are by one Qb.
