With a wonderful blend of both young and old, the state of quarterbacking in the NFL has never been better. At the top of the table, there's 23-year-old , who just won MVP in his first season as a starter. Lagging not far behind are the likes of 41-year-old , 35-year-old Aaron Rodgers, 40-year-old Drew Brees, 23-year-old Deshaun Watson, and so on. The 's best quarterbacks are both young and old, well-established and up-and-coming, near the end of the journeys and just beginning to pave their paths toward Canton. All of this is just a long-winded way of saying, it wasn't Stanley Johnson Jersey easy figuring out who the top-10 quarterbacks in football are right now. It wasn't easy, but it's what the NFL writing team here at CBS Sports tried to do. In the days and weeks to come, we'll be releasing our collective top-10 rankings at every single position group. Today, we begin with the quarterbacks. Below, you'll find CBS Sports' list of the 10 best quarterbacks in the NFL right now. On that note, it's worth reiterating that the quarterbacks were ranked collectively by a group involving more than 10 writers and editors. All of us ranked our top 10 quarterbacks. Our individual ballots were then turned into one list using a point system. This is not my own personal list. This is the list for the entire here at CBS Sports. Before we move onto the list itself, it's worth noting that only one quarterback barely mi sed the cut: quarterback . In addition to Wentz, quarterback and quarterback both received at least one top-10 vote, but neither were close to sneaking their way onto the list. That's it. Those were the only three quarterbacks to receive at least one top-10 vote without making the final list. So in all, 13 quarterbacks garnered at least one vote. OK, onto the actual list. We begin in Houston. 10. , TexansWatson has been in the league for only two seasons and he played in only seven games during one of those two seasons, but he's already established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. If you were starting a franchise right now and all the players in the NFL were placed in a draft, Watson would either be the second or third pick -- definitely behind Mahomes and po sibly behind Mayfield. In 2018, despite playing behind the league's worst offensive line, Watson took the to the playoffs by throwing for 4,165 New Orleans Pelicans Hoodie yards, 26 touchdowns, only nine interceptions, and a 103.1 pa ser rating. Imagine how great he'll be when the Texans finally supply him with adequate protection. 9. , FalconsIt still feels like Ryan is underappreciated, so it was relief to see him find a way onto this list, even if he slots in at No. 9. Even though the were not a good team in 2018, Ryan experienced one of the best seasons of his career, completing 69.4 percent of his pa ses for 4,924 yards, 35 touchdowns, seven picks, and a 108.1 pa ser rating. And of course, it was only just three years ago that It turns out, Ryan's been playing like one of the league's top quarterbacks for a while now. Since beginning his career in 2008, How much different would his reputation be if the Falcons hadn't blown that 28-3 lead in the ? 8. , SteelersThe upcoming season will be a big test for Big Ben considering it'll be his first season without superstar since 2010, when Brown barely contributed during his rookie season. But for now, let's give Roethlisberger credit for everything he's accomplished. In his 15-year career, he's averaging 3,746.3 yards and 24.2 touchdowns per season. Since he entered the league in 2004, Like , Tom Brady, and , he's managed to age gracefully. Over the past five years, he's averaging 4417.8 yards and 28.8 touchdowns per season. 7. Philip Rivers, ChargersDue in large part to Brady's succe s, it seems like we've underappreciated just how gracefully Rivers has aged. He's 37 years old. But he managed to throw for 4,308 yards, 32 touchdowns, and a 105.5 pa ser rating while leading the to a 12-4 record last season. Those are MVP type of numbers. At New Orleans Pelicans Jeresy this point, Rivers' resume is only lacking a Super Bowl. The Chargers do have one of the most talented rosters in football. So, Rivers might get a chance to complete his resume during the upcoming season. 6. , ColtsRemember when we were all so concerned about Luck's ability to simply pick up and throw a football? After mi sing the entire 2017 season as he worked his way back from a shoulder injury, That's what makes his 2018 season especially impre sive. He looked like the Luck of old. In Frank Reich's offense, Luck completed 67.3 percent of his pa ses for 4,593 yards and 39 touchdowns. By DYAR, . By DVOA, he ranked ninth -- one spot ahead of . And by QBR, he ranked fifth -- one spot ahead of Brady, again. That'll do. 5. Drew Brees, SaintsIt's a little surprising to see Brees fall all the way to the middle of the list after he spent most of the season in a battle with Mahomes for MVP. It's likely that Brees' underwhelming final stretch of the season played a role in his placement on this list. Over the final four games of his regular season, Brees averaged only 6.4 yards per pa s attempt, threw three touchdowns and three picks, and posted an 84.7 pa ser rating, allowing Mahomes to run away with MVP. That all said, Brees managed to throw for 3,992 yards, 32 touchdowns, and five interceptions in a 15-game season. , he likely would've taken the to the Super Bowl. He's one Lonzo Ball Jersey of the best quarterbacks of all time and he's still playing at an elite level as he enters the upcoming season at age 40. 4. Ru sell Wilson, SeahawksWilson has firmly established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in football. He's deadly as both a runner and a pa ser. He can survive behind bad offensive lines. He's remarkably durable. And he's almost always in the playoffs. In 2018, Wilson completed 65.6 percent of his pa ses for 3,448 yards, 35 touchdowns, and only seven interceptions. Over the past two seasons, he's thrown for 7,431 yards, 69 touchdowns, and 18 interceptions. In his career, he's posted an insane 75-36-1 record as a starting quarterback. Only 3. Tom Brady, PatriotsBrady is the greatest quarterback of all time, but he's not the best quarterback in football right now, which is understandable really given he's about to turn 42 years old. It's incredible that he's still one Wenyen Gabriel Jersey of the three best quarterbacks at his age, even if he's taken a slight step back. In 2018, Brady threw for 4,355 yards, 29 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a 97.7 pa ser rating. He also helped the win their second championship in three seasons. So yeah, he's still great. There's bound to be a few criticisms of Brady's placement on this list. While it's widely accepted that Brady isn't as good as Mahomes right now, there's an argument to be made that he's as good as , who ranks one spot ahead of Brady. Neither Brady nor Rodgers are playing the best football of their careers right now. But Brady has gone to three straight Super Bowls. In that span, Rodgers has been to
