    Kenny Stabler was the mans QB. The guy use to drink Jack Daniels during practice and kick ass on Sundays, he's worth three Tom Brady's. NW220

    *****************************************************

    Joe Namath is one of the greatest qb's I ever watched. He stayed up all night on Sat nights, talking with three ladies at one time,

    and still kicked ass on Sundays ! 😉

    Just talking?

  • OK, well, let's take this thread in a slightly different direction: Who would you rate as the Top 5 or 10 QBs of all time.

    Here is a list I have put together in alphabetical order that I think the primary candidates would probably come from, but certainly you are free to add to the list:

    Troy Aikman

    Sammy Baugh

    Terry Bradshaw

    Tom Brady

    Len Dawson

    John Elway

    Brett Favre

    Dan Fouts

    Benny Friedman

    Otto Graham

    Arner Herber

    Sonny Jurgenson

    Jim Kelly

    Sid Luckman

    Peyton Manning

    Dan Marino

    Joe Montana

    Warren Moon

    Joe Namath

    Bart Starr

    Roger Staubach

    Fran Tarkenton

    John Unitas

    Steve Young

    So, who is your Top 5?

  • I dono about Manning and Unitas over Montana and Young...Id take the rings but the 49ers had better teams as opposed to say the Colts may had the better Talent at the QB position, it'd be a good agrument

    I don't know how old you are, but I saw all of them play. For me, Unitas and Montana are an even match, so it would come down to who I thought was better, Young or Manning, and my vote is for Manning for a fairly wide margin.

  • Id give Montana a Slight edge over Unitas and give Manning a slight edge over Young so to me there pretty equal

  • I think my Top 5 QBs would be, in no order: Graham, Unitas, Montana, Elway, Manning

    Next 5: Marino, Baugh, Kelly, Brady, Favre....though I would have liked to squeeze Staubach in there, maybe in place of Kelly.

    Touch Choices.

  • My top 5 all-time would be

    1. Montana

    2. Elway

    3. Unitas

    4. Manning

    5. Marino

    And if Dan Marino had won atleast 1 title he would be #2. And by the end of his career Manning will be #1 on my list.

    "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

  • Wow surpirzed Manning is getting so much love hes great but he hasnt put up the great Post Season numbers yet,we will see

    Id go top 5

    1.Montana

    2.Graham

    3.Unitas

    4.Brady

    5.Manning

    Also do think Marnio does deserve some love and had he won a SB would be ranked higher

  • Most great QB's had GREAT teams to lead...

    How would you like a QB who throws an interception for every TD???

    Has a 51.9% completion percentage???

    Has a QB rating of 70.9???

    Most of us would be bitching pretty loudly, yelling for the backup QB...

    In reality, those are the career numbers of Terry Bradshaw who has 4 super bowl rings and is in the hall of fame...Hmmmmm

    Peace

    This just goes to show you how we measure QBs so much differently than they used to. Those numbers you cite were probably among the best numbers of the QBs that played contemporaneously with Bradshaw.

    If you look at the list of the current Top 20 in career "Passer Rating", you would that over half of the career leaders are currently active QBs.

    Yes, today's QBs have better completion percentages and better ratings, but the old guard generally have far greater yards per pass or completion averages. They threw the ball further and took more risks, but also got intercepted more.

    It is almost impossible to judge QBs from even the 70s by today's standards.
