Top 10 quarterbacks going into the 2010 season: Part 3 (#9).

Over the next few posts, I'll be ranking from 10-1 my opinion on the top 10 quarterbacks in the NFL going into the 2010 season. Today I'll feature the ones that just missed the cut, then the next post will feature the 9th ranked signal-caller.

Rankings are based on a variety of factors, from "Career Stats/Achievements" to "Clutch Factor and Post-Season Performance."

Without further adieu, here is your 9th ranked quarterback.

9.) Donovan McNabb, Washington Redskins

Philadelphia made the wrong decision by trading their quarterback of 11 years away in the off-season. Now a member of the Washington Redskins, Donovan McNabb will get to face his former team twice a year in hopes of making sure they know they made the wrong decision.

McNabb has been very consistent in his 11 year career. He's thrown for over 20 touchdowns five times, less than 10 interceptions six times and is just under 33,000 passing yards for his career. He led the Eagles to five NFC championship games and one Super Bowl, where they fell to the New England Patriots.

The one knock on the former Syracuse quarterback is that he never can stay healthy over the course of a season. Only four times has McNabb played all 16 games. Another knock on him is his the recognition of his playoff failures - despite making five NFC championship games - but he advanced to four of those conference title games with receivers like Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell.

If he could prove he can stay healthy more, then he might be higher on this list. But injuries have pushed a quarterback who could have been a possible top five candidate, back down near the bottom of the top 10.
