Who's The Hottest Of Them All?

One of the biggest draws to my blog over the last three years has been my annual ranking of NFL quarterbacks in terms of their attractiveness.  I've been getting a LOT of hits over the last few weeks looking for the hot NFL players.

With the state of the QB this season I thought I was playing things safe.  I'd wait until opening weekend, when I could (finally) be reasonably confident that the guys I ranked would be the guys playing for the team.  Then injury had to plague the NFL.

So, the rules for this year are thus:  If a QB threw a pass for a completion this last week, he is rated.  Ratings based off their bio photo on NFL.com.  Even if he is done for the season (Mr. Butt Chin, I'm talking to you).

Without further ado (starting with the hottest):

David Garrard, Jacksonville Jaguars

Jason Campbell, Washington Redskins

Trent Edwards, Buffalo Bills

Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams

Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks

Damon Huard, Kansas City Chiefs

Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals

Chad Pennington, Miami Dolphins (Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks?)

Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles

JaMarcus Rusell, Oakland Raiders

Byron Leftwich, Pittsburgh Steelers

Matt Schaub, Houston Texans

Matt Cassel, New England Patriots (who apparently has no bottom lip)

Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons

Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs (who would do better if his hairdo weren't bordering on mullet)

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints (who would do better if he didn't look so very, very sad)

J.T. O'Sullivan, San Francisco 49ers

Tarvaris Jackson, Minnesota Vikings

Tom "Mr. Butt Chin" Brady (who is benefiting from the fact they are using a photo of him that seems to have been taken while he was in high school)

Vince Young, Tennessee Titans

Jake Delhomme, Carolina Panthers

Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns

Philip Rivers, San Diego SuperChargers

Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals

Brett Favre, New York Jets (there's something about his facial hair or expression that's hurting him)

Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys (who probably has the most to gain from getting a more current photo up)

Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens (who could use some work on those eyebrows)

Eli Manning, New York Giants (with a VERY unflattering photo and HORRIBLE complexion here)

Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts

Jeff Garcia, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagles (this photo looks like it belongs to a charged felon rather than an NFL quarterback)

Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers

Jon Kitna, Detroit Tigers

Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears

Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers (this may be the worst photo of Big, Bad Ben I've ever seen, but I've got to play by the rules)

Kerry Collins, Tennessee Titans

Jay Cutler, Denver Broncos (who looks more like he should be playing D&D than professional football)

It's a sad state of affairs when there are four guys LESS hot than Jon Kitna serving as QB in the NFL.  But I am happy to report that I have 2 of the 5 hottest quarterbacks on my fantasy football team (which will be ranked soon), and one more who could have done a lot better with a different photo available

You're a little hard on Delhomme, who I think looks nice.

Roethlisberger looks like the Nick Nolte mug shot.

Tarvaris Jackson falls from #1 all the way to #18 in one year! He'll probably hire a pro photographer for next year.

You're also hard on McNabb. Like his photo. I'd have him top 5.

And you're kind to Schaub, Cassell, and Ryan. Maybe it's because they're all in a row, but man, those necks are just too damn long.

(Please note that my opinions as a heterosexual male probably don't count for much next to yours or the many who will reach this page searching on "hot nfl players.")
