    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.

    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.
