  • This is hard,  but here they are:

    Mt. Rushmore:     Otto Graham,  Tom Brady,  Joe Montana,  John Unitas

    Crazy Horse:   Peyton Manning,  Roger Staubach,  Sid Luckman,  Bart Starr

    Foothills:  Dan Marino, Brett Favre, Drew Brees, Fran Tarkenton

    Stone Mountain:   These are guys that are enemies.....that you have to hate and admire at the same time,  like the Robert E. Lee's or Stonewall Jacksons;      John Elway,  Terry Bradshaw,  Ben Roethlisberger,  Bobby Layne

    Wow Our lists are the same.

    what about Aaron Rodgers?  I’d have to say foothills.

  • I'll pass- the won/lost criteria doesn't work with me on qb's. Archie Manning was a truly great qb. Never had a chance.

    I'll go with the smartest and most instinctive qb's, scrawny Johnny Unitas, Otto Graham, Bernie Kosar, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino...Archie Manning.....

    Phil Robertson..... ?

    I thought about him,  but  I was limiting each category to  just 4.    As great a talent as anyone.  Only brought home the bacon the one time.  Maybe by the time his career ends?

    Who is Phil Robertson? Do you mean Phil Rivers?

    nope. Phil Robertson. He was one of the greatest. Terry Bradshaw admits it.

  • Why not just name like Burt Reynolds.  Or other fictional QBs.  Or any other ZZTop wannabe. 

  • Shane Falco not to be confused with Joe Flacco 

  • Graham

    Brady

    Montana

    Starr

    Like Steamin' Willie Beamen? Or Lance Harbor? Or how about Bo Callahn? Ronnie Bass? Or one of the 2 Buckeye QBs (coincidentally played by the same man, Keanu Reeves): Johnny Utah and Shane Falco. Tough to choose.

    But I say Brady, Graham, Montana, and Manning. 4th is hard, but one reason that Peyton didnt win more SBs is because of Brady

  • Tom Brady  -  Dan Marino  -  John Elway  -  Joe Montana

    Honorable mention:  Peyton Manning,  Roger Staubach,  Bart Starr,  Otto Graham,  Johnny Unitas,  Archie Manning (he was really good, and unlucky),  Steve Young

    What are you guys talking about. Lee & his wife (who inherited it) donated their property to the U.S. to start up Arlington National Cemetery (and some forts to defend Wash. DC). It became permanent in 1864, but in their honor remained segregated until after WW II.?

  • Did Otto Graham even throw the ball?

    I am saying that Phil Robertson is a fictional  NFL QB.....unless you can reference to us his NFL statistics that show him to be up there with the likes of the names that have been mentioned here. Did the dude ever have even as much as a cup of coffee in the pros?

    didn't watch the video, again, right?

    No, what would be the point of that to this subject matter?  They may be old friends shooting the bull...but that does not make the guy an NFL Top 4 all time QB.

    Your ignorance makes another appearance.  This shows how little you know about the development of football.   I am sure you are not aware that the Browns ran what would later come to be called the West Coast Offense....just without the name.  Basically,  OG ran Paul Brown's offense the way Montana ran Bill Walsh's offense.  Walsh learned all the principals of that offense from Paul Brown and adopted/adapted it to when he was with the 49ers. ....having spent 8 years as an assistant coach under PB. 

    I am sure you are also not aware that  2 of OGs  WRs are in the Hall of Fame.  Lavelli and Speedie.   Do you think that a team that gets 2 WRs in the HOF  does that by not throwing the ball.
