In recent years, we’ve had fun doing a “Pro Bowl Confidential” where, in an anonymous survey, we ask 10 quick questions, mostly superlatives about the best of the NFL, from the best of the NFL.
This year, we wanted to survey the most important position in the league, talking to NFL quarterbacks about the best at their position, the positions they work with and the coaches who develop them. We reached out across the league in training camp and preseason, through teams, agents, even through social media.

Answer those questions yourself, and then see how a group of NFL quarterbacks answered. Here we go …
Who’s the smartest quarterback in the NFL?

Some QBs could answer based on first-hand knowledge, some relied on well-earned reputations, but after a few seconds to think, nearly all offered impassioned responses. In this case, what’s most interesting might be who didn’t show up among the top vote-getters.
The winner? The most experienced quarterback in the league today, Aaron Rodgers, who at age 40 will try again to resurrect the New York Jets after missing almost all of last season with a torn Achilles tendon. Rodgers was named by 15 of our quarterback respondents. He’s a Super Bowl champ and a four-time league MVP, so it may not be surprising he won…
