Ten Best QBs ever. NFL............
I've allways had John Elway imo as the best.
I'm too young to have watched Johnny U or Otto Graham. Joe Montana was imo the poster child for 'Product of the System' but I still have him in my top 5. Funny, no Marino on Claytons list. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playof...ohn&id=4838773 Quote:

I agree with everything you said above you know Elway is the one superstar who went out the BEST way throwing his 40 year old body at two 20 year olds at the goalline to win the superbowl then he retired Now if only micheal had stayed retired after that one last shot oh well props to elway he is a leagend Marino needs to be on that list sorry. And yes even though he didnt win shorty out of the top 10 is jim kelly and steve young and Troy Aikman. |

No Marino? then who is that wanker at #6???
My top 7 NFL QB's of all time... after all is said and done.... 1. Tim Tebow Just kidding. 1. Peyton Manning - I know he isn't there yet, but I think he wins another 2 (including this years) Superbowls. You give me another QB and I'll tell you something wrong with him. Elway leaned on the run game. Montana was a system QB. Marino couldn't win a SB. Unitas never proved himself against the level of competition that plays today. 2. Dan Marino - I know he couldn't get to the super bowl, but he had the best arm in the history of the NFL. You give him Jerry Rice and the 49er's D and you'll see who has 4 SB rings. 3. Montana. - Can't argue with the ice man. 4th quarter, who would you rather have with the ball? 4. John Elway - Common. He's John Elway. 5. Brett Farve - Leadership, consistency and his recent success with the Vikings makes me think if he had better WR's in Green Bay he'd have more than 1 SB. 6. Tom Brady. - I hate you Tom Brady. 7. Johnny Unitas - He built the passing game, and for that he deserves credit... but put him on an NFL roster today and you think he still dominates like he did? Not a chance. |

Well, I guess I will give my top 5.
1. John Elway. He gets the edge because out of most of the list, he's the only one who played in the elements and still made the list. Imagine if he had played more games in the warm weather and had HOF type recievers. He only leaned on the running game toward the end. But make no mistake, the Broncos went as far as Elway would take them. 2. Tom Brady. Like Elway, he played in a LOT of bad weather and, until Moss, had crap for recievers for the most part. Brady did benefit from a Defense that was one of the best but he also was hamstrung by a coach who wanted to play ball control and yet Brady still made the difference. In games where ball control wasn't working, Belichek would let Tom be Tom and take over the game. In a system that called for a 'Game Manager' type QB, he still managed to carve out HOF numbers. 3. Dan Marino. His quick release is what we now use as the benchmark for how a NFL QB should do it. Accurate and had an 'Elwayesque' cannon for an arm. Marino could just 'will' his team down the feild. Nothing was impossible while he was on the feild. If there ever was a QB that you had to play 61 minutes against, it was Marino. 4. Peyton Manning. You may never again see a better and more accurate down the feild pass. It's almost like an art form. Could very well be at the top of the list before it's done. Any pressure on him usually spells something ugly. But it's the ONLY thing you can remotely find to critisize him for. And I thought about it for a while. lol 5. Joe Montana. He gets dropped to 5 because he's the poster child for the term 'System QB'. Not his fault and his final years with KC weren't terrible. He played in warm weather and had Jerry Rice for a reciever. Again, not his fault but arm strength was a question and not needed as much as with the 4 above him because of the system he was in. Short passes and run after catch is where a lot of numbers come from. Still, one of the very best. It's a fun topic and there are no right answers. I watched all of these guys play and was very familiar with them. Some of the older guys like Graham and Unitas I can't speak too much for but I agree with Zues, that the players from 30 years ago wouldn't translate very well to todays game. |

1. Terry Bradshaw, Pittsburgh Steelers
And he is the only one on the list, all the rest start in the 2nd sheet of paper. 4 superbowl wins 2 in a row twice, 2 years apart. [Which no one will ever repeat] All great QB rely on a good defence and goes without saying. |
