Whose your top 5 NFL QBs all-time?
- Thread starter DAWG61
- Start date
1. Brady 2. Peyton 3. Montana 4. Elway 5. Brees for my since 1975 list. All-time though - doesn't Unitas have to be on the list? Rodgers is not there yet, but will probably bump one of them before he is done. Elway managed to get some pretty average Denver teams to the Super Bowl early in his career.

Some combination of Brady, Marino, Peyton, Montana and Brees.
If Marino played in today’s NFL, he’d put up bigger numbers than anyone.

I tend to agree with this ranking. As great as Brees is, I think he’s somehow undervalued, still. I don’t know if any QB in NFL history is more valuable to his franchise than Brees is to the Saints. He’s been cursed with having some truly horrendous defenses backing him up in NOLA. He has single handledly caused teams that should have won 2 or 3 games without him to win 7 or 8 and caused 7 or 8 win teams to win 11 or 12.
1. Montana
2. Brady
3. Marino
4. Brees
5. Peyton
Obviously I don’t subscribe to the “rings=best” ranking system.

Montana
Brady— too many SB’s not to rank
Brees
Manning
Marino
2A list
Elway
Unitas
Bradshaw
Staubach
Favre

Out of the QB’s I’ve seen in my life time it’s gotta be these
1. Tom Brady
2. Payton Manning
3. Drew Brees
4. Brett Favre
5. Michael Vick (not because of stats but in his prime he was ELECTRIC and could make some insane plays)
6. Donovan McNabb
7. Steve McNair
8. Kurt Warner (greatest show on turf)
9. Aaron Rodgers

9. Aaron Rodgers
1. Brees. Is (or was) there another Saints player worthy of being in the Hall of Fame who played for the Saints at the same time?
2. Brady.
3. Montana.
4. Bradshaw.
5. Elway.
6. Peyton Manning.
7. Rodgers. Might be playing for the worst coaching staff of the QBs on my list.
8. Steve Young.
9. Marino. The best not to win a title.
10. Kurt Warner. If the Cardinals had won the Super Bowl a few years ago, he would be onmore top five lists.
2. Brady.
3. Montana.
4. Bradshaw.
5. Elway.
6. Peyton Manning.
7. Rodgers. Might be playing for the worst coaching staff of the QBs on my list.

10. Kurt Warner. If the Cardinals had won the Super Bowl a few years ago, he would be on

Your top 5 is the same as mine. Vick was must-see TV. Can't agree with having Donovan ahead of McNair, Warner, and Rodgers though. I say that as an Eagles fan.
No I don’t. Elway had double digit interceptions every year of his career. He completed over 60% of his passes in only 3 seasons. He’s an all-time great for sure but When comparing all-time greats he doesn’t measure up as well with others statistically.
1. Unitas (the Beatles of the QB position)
2. Montana (the Jordan of the QB position)
3. Brady (5 rings can’t be ignored)
4. Elway (probably the most athletic of all time)
5. Favre (the Cal Ripken of QBs)
6. Marino (the stats don’t lie and it wasn’t a pass happy era)
7. Brees
8. Kelly/Tarkenton
9. Rogers (room to move up)
10. Staubach
You might notice who I left off. He is the most overrated QB in football history in my opinion. The 2 times he won it all, his defense absolutely carried him through the playoffs. I’d take all 11 of these and possibly a handful more before him.

This is the correct players, but it’s
Brady
Manning
Brees
Montana
Elway
It’s amazing to me how Brees has never won a NFL MVP award. He’s been the epitome of the most valuable player since his arrival in NO.

I go by Super Bowl success and not necessarily passer ratings since the league has changed drastically since the early years. It was a more defensive game back in the 60s and 70s.
1. Tom Brady
2. Joe Montana
3. Terry Bradshaw
4. Peyton Manning
5. Roger Staubach

So the guy who was the all time passing leader
Until 3 days ago isn’t it in your top 15? That’s a bold call

Peyton inflated his stats every chance he got. 1st and goal from the 1 and he might pass 3 times in a row. Almost any QB would have won that last superbowl. He was a complete noodle arm at that time.
He also threw more picks than TDs in the playoffs both times he won the Super Bowl. The guy was lucky to have a ring and a terrible teammate. I mean Tennessee missed him so much they won the natty the second he left. His entire roster during his Indy tenure was set up to make him look as good as possible. He’s obviously a very talented player but I’d take all the guys I listed in their prime over Peyton. He’s overrated. Not bad. But overrated.
