@QBs Elway before Montana ? your crazy , Elway could never do anything without Davis a 2000 rushing RB, and Montana did it all
1. Brady of course without a question
2. Elway
3. Montana
4. Manning
5. Marino
6. Brees
7. Farve
8. Big Ben
9. Rodgers
10. Aikman
I concur with Superman. A very accurate ranking of all time NFL quarterbacks. However, I’d place Elway ahead of Favre and Rogers will ultimately move up.
re; #9
1 Montana
2, Brady,
3 Payton
4 Favre
5 Elway
6 Marino
7 Warner
8 Aikman
9 Rodgers
10 mm?????? Flutie, Moon, Namath, Bradshaw,Bart Starr, Rothlisberg, Vick before dogs issue , Drew Brees
1 and 2 can be reversed
marino exiting? he did only what the play said and nothing ever more, never scrambled , never ran for a 1st down ,
#2 Relaxing ain’t what its all cracked up to be.
Top 5 QB’s: In order Joe Namath-Kurt Warner-Johnny Unitas-Bart Starr-Warren Moon. Honorable Mention: Fran Tarkenton and Eddie LeBaron.
Never have cared much for Montana and Brady, as they are clinicians/managers of offenses, whereas guys like Marino, Elway and Fouts were swashbucklers who could be counted on to make unscripted moves to spearhead drives. Put another way, the latter three were simply more exciting and entertaining.
