Single Question Survey

A few guys who should not be forgotten on these lists are :
Warren Moon
Jim Kelly
Fran Tarkenton. Tarkenton held all the records Favre holds now for like a 20-25 year period.
Also, on the list of the Top 20 QBs in TD passes thrown are a few "surprises":
8. Vinny Testaverde
10. Dave Krieg
13. Drew Bledsoe
14. Boomer Esiason
15. John Hadl
20. John Brodie
I am not saying that I would put any of the above on a Top 20 list of QBs, I am simply pointing out that if scoring TDs is an important part of a QBs job, these guys did a good job.

i haven't had a chance to read throught this carefully. Did Ken Anderson make anyone's honorable mention list?

1. Otto Graham- The pioneer of the quarterback position. People would get sick of seeing him if there was an ESPN at the time.
2. Dan Marino- True QB swag. One of the best.
3. John Elway- I hate to say it, but he always new how to finish strong.
4. Brett Favre- Soap Opera of the NFL, with skills to prove it.
5. Peyton Manning- Most intelligent player to ever play the position.
6. Troy Aikeman- A little overrated, but a classic nonetheless.
7. Joe Namath- Another classic, true passion for the position.
8. Tom Brady- Although he is fading away, his early years were better than some QB's entire careers.
9. Kurt Warner- Need I say more? He is 39 and still has years left he could play.
10. Joe Montana- Dynasty will always have its king.
I think Brett and Peyton could possibly be number 2 and 3 if they win more superbowls. But no one surpasses Otto Graham.

Maybe its an oversight on your part, but I cannot see any Top 10 list without Unitas being on it. Perhaps you had your reasons. I would like to hear them.

Nice that you mentioned Staubach. He is one that I kind of overlooked. I don't know if he would break my Top 10, but he would definitely be on the Honorable Mention roll.

Well, Canton Mike, nothing is stopping you from doing your own list and putting whomever you wish onto it. Even your homeboy, Todd Blackledge?
(If someone is going to mention Joe Germaine, you can mention Todd)

If I didn't list Ken Stabler and Joe Germaine, I could be considered for a troll after years of tossing them into the mix. Yeah, DA falls along these lines as well.
It's all good Gipper, the Snake & St. Joe have a place in my top-10.
The Snake the best left handed QB ever?
-
I'm a Staubach fan too- probably the only Dallas player I liked in that era. Here goes my attempt at the list:
1) Otto Graham
2) John Elway (SOB ruined our 80s)
3) Johnny Unitas
4) Joe Montana
5) Fran Tarkenton
6) Brett Favre (don't like what he's become today though, a prima donna like Jim Kelly)
7) Terry Bradshaw
Roger Staubach9) Dan Marino
10) Dan Fouts
Honorable mention- Brian Sipe, Steve Young, Warren Moon, & Len Dawson
Favorite QB- Bernie Kosar...too bad his elbow got f-ed up in KC on opening day in 1988...he was truly one of the great deep ball passers ever
-
No real order.....
Graham
Manning
Favre
Baugh
Jergunsen
YA Tittle
Unitas
Starr
Montana
Layne
I could take jurgensen off the list except he threw the nicest pass ever, so he makes it....if i had to take him off, I add Kelly or Lamonica.

we can hope, can't we?

Well, FWIW, I can't argue much on how this list was put together- Unitas gets under rated perhaps because he played mostly in the 60s.
For one game I still take Manning or Montana over Farve.
