Why did you post so many threads of the same topic?

You could have put it all in one thread.

You could have put it all in one thread.

Thought each had its own talking points, and that it would be too confusing to debate all positions in one thread.

Feel free to merge if you deem necessary.

 

[Shaggy]

Nah, its good. It would get to messy now that I think about it. Carry on.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Pretty good list. Throw in Warren Moon in there somewhere and it is complete.

+1

What about Bobby Layne or Sonny Jurgensen?YA Tittle?

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Agreed.

I would put Warren Moon ahead of 6 of those Quarterbacks, and I would put Dan Fouts in front of Warren Moon.

I think Bradshaw and Aikman are too high. They both knew how to win, so if that is the criteria for greatness as a QB, fine, but there are other QBs that I think were better at their position. Otherwise, seems ok

 

[cardsfanmd]

Aikman making that list is laughable at best. Donovan McNabb was significantly better. Bradshaw is wayyyyyyyy too high too.

1- Tom Brady
2- Joe Montana
3- Peyton Manning
4- John Elway
5- Dan Marino
6- Brett Farve
7- Terry Bradshaw - Should be lower on list
8- Roger Staubach
9- Johnny Unitas
10- Steve Young
11- Jim Kelly
12- Fran Tarkenton
13- Troy Aikman - Should be lower
14- Joe Namath - Should not be in top 16.
15- Drew Brees
16- Bart Starr

I think Warren Moon belongs on list and YA Tittle. If it wasn't for SB III Namath would never make the list. Over an entire career Broadway Joe was a pretty good QB but nothing that special to make an all time list.

 

[oaken1]

just cant see Brady over Montana... Brady has rings, yes..... but it has long been known that if you hit Tom enough he gets sketchy and starts making mistakes.

Joe was a tiny little dude....but the higher the pressure got the better he played.

oh yeah, and he didn't have a Joe Montana or john Elway to emulate as a kid either....

 

[Ronin]

Peyton Manning unimpressive playoff record knocks him down a few spots (behind Farve).imo

Bradshaw should not even be on the list, IMHO.

 

[Proteus]

Where is Aaron Rodgers?

 

[Zeno]

I didn't realize until I just looked that Aikman only went over 20 TD passes once in his career. I guess going 11-4 in the playoffs is pretty good though.

 

[BigRedRage]

surprised no one has mentioned Warner!

 

[dreamcastrocks]

surprised no one has mentioned Warner!

He doesn't deserve to be mentioned.....not against that list.

 

[BigRedRage]

He doesn't deserve to be mentioned.....not against that list.

I think he is very close to the bottom 5 and could be interchanged with a few of them personally.

I mean, some of those are terrible QBs that happened to win super bowls. Kurt was great AND won a super bowl and went to 3.

 

[gamebird98]

Giants fans would argue Phil Simms

 

[GatorAZ]

Young's peak was better than pretty everyone on this list excluding Brady and Manning.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Young's peak was better than pretty everyone on this list excluding Brady and Manning.

If I am making an all-time team, and get to pick any QB, Steve Young is my QB.

Steve Young is highly underrated and Joe Montana is overrated, IMHO.

Where is Aaron Rodgers?

Great point Proteus, he certainly should be in the top 5.

1. Otto Graham - won 7 championships in 10 years, took his team to the title game every year. He still holds records for yards per attempt and winning percentage.

I understand the love for Marino based on stats, but his my **** doesn't stink demeanor left the Dolphins leaderless and thus with no rings.
