Mt. Rushmore of Quarterbacks

[SdBacker80]

My metric Championships (Clutch factor) and how are you compared to your contemporaries.

1. Brady.  Wins Championships (5) and doesn’t turn the ball over That often and the best QB in his time in one of the more competitive time periods 

2. Montana. Wins Championships (4) no defeats doesn’t turn the ball over that often best of his time.

3. Graham.  8 championships and best of his time.  He’s a Cleveland Brown too.

4. Unitas.  Champion and best of his time followed Graham.

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.

[The Gipper]

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

[SdBacker80]

Shane Falco not to be confused with Joe Flacco 

[nickers]

Graham

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

[Orion]

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?
