The top 3 of the oldest starting quarterbacks in the NFL list doesn t change this year. Drew Brees, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning aren t just the elders of the game, they re still at such a high level that s very hard for much younger guys to reach on a consistent level except for maybe a player or two. Injuries and late career blossom for certain guys changed the list compared to last season, as Shaun Hill comes out of nowhere to start for the Rams (for now) and Josh McCown is suddenly looked at as a capable starter. Matt Schaub and Michael Vick, , lost their starting roles for the time being. 10th Ben Roethlisberger (Pittsburgh Steelers), 32

Born on March 2, 1982, Roethilsberger is entering his 11th NFL season, part of that famous 2004 quarterback draft class. He has been the starting quarterback for the Steelers for his entire career, winning two Super Bowls and losing in another one. He is a two-time Pro Bowler, hoping to rebound from two rough season for him individually and the team in general, failing to make the playoffs. 9th Philip Rivers (San Diego Chargers), 32

Another class of 04 quarterback, Rivers was born on December 8, 1981. A starter for the Chargers since 2006, he hasn t missed a single game in the last eight seasons. Last year was a rebound season for himself and the franchise, making the playoffs after a frustrating postseason drought. Rivers himself might have had his best [url=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Houston]Tory Burch Houston[/url] season, leading the league in completion percentage with 69.5%. He is a five time Pro-Bowler, and last year s winner of comeback player of the year. 8th Eli Manning (New York Giants), 33

A two-time Super Bowl champion, Eli Manning was born on January 3, 1981. He has started every game for the Giants since 2005, but has come across two rough seasons, failing to make the playoffs, and personally having a terrible 2013 in which he reverted back to old Eli by throwing a league high 27 interceptions, the third time in his career leading the NFL in picked passes. He has made the Pro Bowl three times. 7th Tony Romo (Dallas Cowboys), 34

Born on April 21, 1980, Romo was thrust into the starting role quite surprisingly in 2006, and has been one of the more polarizing quarterbacks in the NFL since then when the subject of his ability comes up for discussion. He is a three-time Pro Bowl selection and last year put up excellent numbers once again until a back injury took him out of the last game and possibly cost the Cowboys a playoff spot on the last day, something they ve failed to achieve four consecutive seasons, three times losing a final-week do-or-die game. 6th Shaun Hill (St. Louis Rams), 34

What?! Who?! Yes, due to Sam Bradford going down and ending the season before it even started, Shaun Hill is the designated starter for the Rams at the moment. Born on January 9, 1980, Hill has led his team to 13 wins on his 26 careers starts, the last of which coming in 2010 for the Lions, his team for the past four seasons. He also started for the 49ers in the pre-Harbaugh years, when it seemed Alex Smith was about the get kicked off the team at any moment. 5th Carson Palmer (Arizona Cardinals), 34

Palmer is an interesting case of what if due to two serious injuries that have probably taken his career off a golden path into a less memorable one. Born on December 27, 1979, he has been in the league since 2003, playing for the Bengals, Raiders and now entering his second season as the starter for the Arizona Cardinals. He has always been something of a careless thrower, but last season he peaked with 22 interceptions. [url=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Nylon-Stevie]Kate Spade Nylon Stevie[/url] He made the Pro Bowl twice, but the last time was eight years ago. 4th Josh McCown (Tampa Bay Buccaneers), 35

Proof that if you stick around for long enough, someone will remember you re not that bad. McCown made the most of Jay Cutler s injury, starting five games for the Chicago Bears last season and put up some impressive numbers, including just one interception thrown out of 224 pass attempts. This landed him with the Buccaneers who aren t counting on Mike Glennon right now. McCown has been in the league since 2002, playing for his sixth team now. He was born on July 4, 1979. 3rd Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints), 35

Born on January 15, 1979, Drew Brees is going into his 14th season in the NFL, playing as a starter for the Chargers and then the Saints since 2002. An eight-time Pro Bowl selection, two-time first team All-Pro and most importantly a Super Bowl champion and MVP, Brees has passed the 5000 passing yards mark four times in his career, putting him fifth all-time on the passing yards list and fourth in touchdown passes. 2nd Tom Brady (New England Patriots), 37

Born on August 3, 1977, Tom Brady is going into his 15th NFL season. The accolades are endless: Three-time Super Bowl champion with two Super Bowl MVPs and two more visits to the big game, losing to the Giants. He is a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, two-time first team All-Pro and a regular season MVP twice as well. With every failure to win another Super Bowl some are trying to tarnish his legacy or diminish his role in the ongoing success, but even through rougher years, Brady seems to deserve to be mentioned among the best quarterbacks in the league and of all-time. 1st Peyton Manning (Denver Broncos), 38

If only winning Super Bowls wasn t such a strong indicator for greatness in the eyes of people arguing over who is the best ever Manning has one championship ring to be proud of, but he has also lost twice in the big game, including the humiliation against the Seahawks last season. He has been with the Colts from 1998 to 2011 and is entering his third season with the Broncos, where has been extremely successful. The list [url=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Big-T]True Religion Big T[/url] of accolades? Super Bowl MVP, five-time regular season MVP, 13-time Pro Bowl selection, 7-time first team All-Pro. He led the league last year in passing yards (5477) and passing touchdowns (55), both NFL records. He needs 18 more touchdowns to become the NFL s all-time leader in passing TDs and 6875 passing yards to become number one. Brett Favre currently holds both top spots. Images:

-CUPERTINO, Calif. Apple unveiled its long-anticipated smartwatch Tuesday, introducing a device that transplants the features of an iPhone onto a smaller screen that's never more than an arm's length away.Dubbed the Apple Watch, the gadget marks the technology trend-setter's attempt to usher in an era of wearable computing and lift its sales with another revolutionary product.The watch's debut also heralds a turning point in Tim Cook's three-year reign as Apple CEO. Although the company has thrived under Cook's leadership, it had only released upgrades to the iPhone, iPad and other products hatched before his predecessor, Steve Jobs, died in October 2011. The lack of totally new devices raised questions about whether Apple had run out of ideas without the visionary Jobs.Now Apple is betting on a gadget that seems like something James Bond might wear. The Apple Watch's top-of-the-line edition comes in a casing made of 18-karat gold, with an array of elegant bands available for most models. The watch can serve as a walkie-talkie, a drawing pad, pulse monitor, calorie counter and activity tracker."It is amazing what you can do from your wrist," Cook said.Apple is a late arrival to the still-nascent market for wearable technology. Several other companies already sell smartwatches that have been greeted with widespread indifference.But Apple has a reputation for igniting dormant markets. Other music players, smartphones and tablet computers were first to market, but the devices did not enthrall consumers until Apple imbued them with its magic touch.The smartwatch "might not only be a game changer for Apple, but for the entire industry," says FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives. "A lot of major technology players around the globe are taking notes on what Apple is trying to do here."Investors appeared lukewarm about the unveiling. Apple's stock dipped 37 cents to close at $97.99, but the shares had been surging for months ahead of Tuesday's show. The stock has gained 22 percent so far this year <a href=http://www.alportico.net/prodotti/christianlouboutin-sale.jkmsw.php>Cheap Christian Louboutin</a>  and hit an all-time high earlier this month.It will take months to gauge the popularity of the Apple Watch. The $349 device won't go on sale until early next year.Cook hailed it as the most "personal device we have ever created."The watch is "the first product we have seen with Tim's fingerprints all over it," said Creative Strategies analyst Tim Bajarin, who has been following Apple through most of its 38-year history.The watch will tie into a new payment system designed to enable people to store all their credit card information in a digital locker so merchandise can be bought with a tap on a sensor at a checkout stand or a press of the button.The watch must be used with one <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  of the iPhone models released in the past two years the 5, 5S, 5C or the latest versions scheduled to go on sale Sept. 19 in the U.S. and nine other countries.Here's a closer look at what Apple has in store:---LARGER iPHONESThe iPhone 6 will feature a 4.7-inch screen, up from the 4-inch screen on the models released in each of the previous two years. The iPhone 6 Plus will have a 5.5-inch screen and other improvements, including longer battery life, that will cost an additional $100.App developers will have new tools to rearrange their content to take advantage of that larger screen.The new phones are not as big as Samsung's latest flagship phones 5.1 inches for the Galaxy S5 and 5.7 inches for the Note 4 but they will be large enough to neutralize a key advantage Samsung and other Android manufacturers have had.The iPhone 6 will also have a barometer to estimate how much users climb stairs, not just how far they walk or run.Apple is improving a slow-motion video feature by allowing even slower shots on the iPhone 6. The camera will be able to take 240 frames per second, double the rate of last year's iPhone 5s. Normally, video is at 60 frames per second.Starting prices for the new iPhones will be comparable to those in the past $199 with a two-year contract for the iPhone 6 with 16 gigabytes of storage.However, the step-up models will have double the memory as before $299 for 64 gigabytes and $399 for 128 gigabytes. The iPhone 6 Plus phones will cost $100 more at each configuration.---MOBILE PAYMENTSApple is calling its new payment system Apple Pay.Consumers will be able to use their phone cameras to capture a photo of their cards. Apple will verify it behind the scenes and add it to the phone's Passbook account so people can make payments at a retailer. Apple announced several merchants that will accept this system, including Macy's, Whole Foods, Walgreens and Disney stores. American Express, Visa and MasterCard all are cooperating with Apple, too, as well as most major banks.For security, the card number is stored only on the device. Each time you pay, a one-time card number is created to make the transaction.---SMARTWATCHCook says Apple had to invent a new interface for the watch because simply shrinking a phone would not work. Much of the interaction will be through the dial on the watch, which Apple calls the digital crown. It's used to zoom in and out of a map, for instance.Apple worked with app developers to create new functionality. Users will be able to unlock room doors at some Starwood hotels or remind themselves where they parked with a BMW app.The new watch will come in a variety of styles, with a choice of two sizes.---NEW SOFTWAREThough much of the attention has been on new gadgets, the software powering those gadgets is getting its annual refresh. Apple considers iOS <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/anel.php> Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet</a>  8 to be its biggest update since the introduction of the app store in 2008.Existing iPhone and iPad users will be eligible for the free upgrade, too.Among other things, iOS 8 will let devices work better in sync. For instance, it will be possible to start a message on an iPhone and finish it on an iPad. With an upcoming Mac upgrade called Yosemite, it will be possible to continue working on that same message on a Mac computer. These handoff features will extend to the Apple Watch.The new software will be available to existing users on Sept. 17.
