Ten Best QBs ever. NFL............

[arod55]

I agree with MLEE, you forgot Dan Fouts he was a great passer, and I know he never got any titles, but when he was playing the defense for the Chargers sucked.

He is having maybe the best year of his career. And they got rid of a future HOFer.

And Brady has had anytning but a perenial pro-bowl offensive roster.

And GTAHVIT will be sporting big fat Tom Brady/Patriots sticker on his back window in April.

Brady will win it this year and prove why he is #1

Not going to get caught up in the whole list of 10, but I will say that the reasons PQ listed for Brady as best go double for Montana.

Now, I'm not an old guy who's standing up for people who played "back in the day", but Unitas is the top QB. Besides being a great on-field general, Unitas and Ray Berry invented and perfected timing between the quarterback and receiver. If they played today, they'd carve up a defense just like they did back then. If you ever get a chance, watch some of the old film of them. The routes, timing and placement is as sharp as the best players of today, but done by guys wearing potato sacks for jerseys, and those dorky looking helmets.

#1 is Manning by a long shot and then there's the rest of them...
Noone does more for a team in history...they would literally be the worst team in the league without him for the last 10 years..
Of course I am a little biased but watching him is so much different from everyone else I have ever seen IMO. Joe Montana would be my #2..

Montana SUCKED in bad weather. Brady makes it look like a tropical day.

The moment Montana was gone to the Cheifs, the 49ers didn't skip a beat.

As far as the older QBs. All I can do is concede that I don't really know.

And yes, I do know a lot about football. Enough to know that the 70's steelers were known for their defense and not the super awesome play of their qb

[PoorMansCamaro]

What do you Guys have to say about when cassell played in NE and pretty much didn't skip a beat. He struggled a little, but you have to expect that. He did have more 400yd games that season then Brady ever has in one season...pls they still won 11 games.

I have an idea, post a link to just one list that has Bradshaw in the top 5. Without it being a biased source. It'll probably be hard to find one in the top ten even. I guess everyone that's not wearing YELLOW and black glasses knows nothing about football. Haha

[PoorMansCamaro]

Here's a pretty good formula...

Sorry, you got that completely wrong. If anything, Unitas would be even better.

Think of it this way - Unitas was a 40,000 yard passer in an era when football strategy consisted of running, running, then passing on third down. The West Coast offensive strategy was still 15 years away. Also, he only played 12 game seasons for most of his career. Give him 16 game seasons and he would have been a 60,000 yard passer.

Also consider that he played in the days when all the passer protection rules weren't in effect. He took his share of hits and kept going. In today's "protect the passer" game, he would have been even more productive.

If anything, people like Brady and Manning wouldn't have been nearly as good if they had to play in his era.
