  • While that is a great way to look at it, and I often use it in arguments (because its the only way to get a Brown into the conversation), I dont think you can use that as a top case maker. As long as they have one they're in consideration. Total w/l is more important to me. QB rating is also more important.

    NO, QB rating is NOT important. If it were then we would have to include in the argument the likes of Jeff Garcia, Daunte Culpepper, Matt Schaub, Chad Pennington, Tony Romo, Philip Rivers in the conversation of best all time as those are all in the Top 15 career.

    No. Lets leave passer rating out.

  • It is more important than super bowl wins. W/L record and zero superbowls exclude most of those guys.

  • Total yards and touchdowns are up there also. But thats if longevity is a defining factor.

    Yea, if longevity is a factor....which carries with it the yards and TDs, then Moon, Testaverde, Bledsoe, and Kerry Collins would have to be in the discussion. So, obviously that alone cannot be a deciding factor.

    Good QBs...maybe. Played a long time....had lots of yards and TD. Not elite.

    Roman Gabriel comes to mind as an example.

  • Bledsoes doesnt count

  • Johnny Manziel is the greatest QB of all time. Large hands, plays bigger than his 5-11 190 size, makes all the throws, escapes the rush like Houdini, exciting public relations machine...he's got it all.

    Both Kerry Collins and Drew Bledsoe did start a SB game. Bledsoe's Pats lost to the Packers, and Collin's Giants lost to the Ravens in 2000.

    Should appearances count?

    Cassell winning so many games with the Pats showed they are a very well built offense whoever is the QB.

    I honestly think he is the most overrated QB in history and certainly isn't anywhere near Manning for me

    I wonder if Peyton manning would agree and I'd say 100% he would absolutely dispute Tom Brady being called the most over rated qb of all time

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • Anyone who thinks Tom Brady is the ''greatest QB of all time'' hasn't been watching football very long. I've been following football since the late '50's, and he's not even in my top ten.

    Nope. One win needed to qualify. Sorry Dan.
