Top 10 all time NFL Qbs...

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

Although its hard to consider someone in the HOF underrated, I think Staubach gets overlooked in these discussions. He had a pretty short career considering he couldn't play in the NFL until he was 27 because of his military commitment. He really only played 8 full seasons, but was MVP 3 times, went to the Superbowl 4 times and won 2. The other 2 losses were to two of the best teams of all time (Steelers). I would probably take him over Aikman, Elway and Favre. Never saw Unitas play.

Roger the Dodger and those Dallas teams were amazing. Considering there was no free agency they were freaking stacked...like the Steelers.

Tarkenton had a great career - I think when he retired he had thrown for the most yards all time. However, he spent the first 10 years of his career pretty much playing for bad teams. He wasn't surrounded by good talent until his return to the Vikings when Bud Grant was the coach. Got to the superbowl 3 times at the end of his career, but lost all 3, all by pretty big margins.

Fran was the first true duel threat QB and put up really good numbers across the board while playing for 18 seasons.. in a time where QBs were open season! Wonder how many seasons Brady, Rodgers, ect would have played if they were subjected to same violent hits ole Fran was?
Definitely have Fran at the top of that list..

Anyone who doesn't put Brady first is just holding a grudge. Look, he's not my favorite QB either, but there really is no argument.

FYI I predict that in 10 years Joe Burrow is going to be on this list. He just seems to have "it." I suspect he's a real prick.

7 Super Bowl wins - may never be matched. He’s the GOAT and by a very large margin.

 

[inthedeed]

without blanda saving his ***/games then stabler dosen't deserve mentioning. in fact just scratch stabler and put in george

 

[GeorgeFlippin]

If you factor in all the drinking and smoking relative to performance then the list starts with the Snake

A list without Stabler is like a year without a Santa Claus!

 

[Bart Man]

Sure think Bart Starr is top 10. Many here too young to know him.

 

[Yantzeee]

I have to say if Peyton Manning had Montana’s 49ers teams he would have won more Super Bowls than Montana…

On the flip side. I don’t think Peyton would have lead the 88 niners down the field against Cincy on the last drive to win the super bowl.

can’t see Manning pointing out John Candy in the stands

 

[TampaBaySkers]

A guy that never started a game in college won 11 games in New England, clown....

And a guy that took his former team to the super bowl could only muster 7 wins after Brady departed.

You seem to have some sort of learning disability..

TampaBay’s record prior to Brady 7-9, 5-11 two years prior

New England’s record post Brady 7-9

 

[TampaBaySkers]

Brady had a lot of good fortune, hey raiders fans remember the fumble that was called a tuck, where would his carrier went had they lost to the raiders? I’m not a Brady hater just don’t consider him the greatest

 

[huskerfan1414]

Favre belongs nowhere near a top ten list. Most overrated QB of all time. He’s #1 on that list.

Probably top 20 though.

 

[huskerfan1414]

And Brady is #1. How this is even a debate is proof that unity is literally impossible amongst the human race. If there was ever a clear cut and undisputed #1 it’s him…yet here we are, arguing it anyway.….

 

[huskerfan1414]

I have to say if Peyton Manning had Montana’s 49ers teams he would have won more Super Bowls than Montana…

False. Although perhaps just as many?

 

[huskerfan1414]

Unitas gets too much love…Namath and Stabler both Bama QB are being underrated…

Disagree on Namath.

 

[huskerfan1414]

Couple dudes I may throw in the discussion would be Jim Kelly and Warren Moon. Granted they would be down the list, but maybe sneak in.

Both of these quarterbacks are criminally underrated. I have no idea why they don’t get more love. Great QBs and fun to watch, plus Warren Moon in the powder blue Oilers uniforms is perfection. I wonder if he played “too long”

[Redscarlet]

Disagree on Namath.

Yea Namath might be a stretch.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan_rivals19671]

62-63-4 is not a top 10 QB record. He's in the top 3 of the most flamboyant QB's, love the guy...but top 10 he is not.

 

[Spartanhusker]

Not saying they are top ten but you can argue that Namath, Starr, Bob Griese, and Brees could be talked about.

Nope
Yep
Nope
Yep
Talked about for sure

 

[Redscarlet]

Nope
Yep
Nope
Yep
Talked about for sure

Starr is no different than Greise.. Good but not great..

 

[Spartanhusker]

To the whole thread premise… great for debate, impossible for resolution… different eras, different team strengths, different coaches approaches, etc… I won’t get my pantries in a wad over this discussion….
The question I ask is this…..
If _________ ( insert player here, whoever it is) been drafted by the _______( insert woebegone team of the era) would they be capable of being THE GREATEST EVER?

 

[lbarnessix]

No Otto Graham?

 

[HuskerLLM]

Bart Starr has to be on any list

5x NFL Champion + 2x Super Bowl Champion = 7 Championships

 

[bigboxes]

1. Tom Brady
2. Peyton Manning
3. Ken Stabler
4. Brett Favre
5. Terry Bradshaw
6. Roger Staubach
7. Joe Montana
8. Drew Brees
9. Dan Marino
10. Johnny Unitas

You're right. I'm ashamed as a Packers fan. I'll revise.

He was surrounded with very good cast and Vice Lombardi also deserves more of the credit..

Starr was good not great…

I love ya boxes but to have Montana under Bradshaw, Favre and Stabler is criminal. If Favre is on that list A-Rod has to be. Favre was a gunslinger who also threw back breaking Ints. A-Rod and Brett. Both 4 time MVP. 1 SB win. But A-Rods TD to int ratio is way better.

No list scarlet? Let's see your 10.

OMG that is great!! Never saw that before. Watching now.

It was classic. The bird picking off Favre at the end is priceless. And that's coming from a Favre and GB fan.Laughing

 

[Rick.Shaw1]

What has Mahomes done that A-Rod hasn't? He's got a ways to go before he's top 10 all time.

I’d agree

 

[Redscarlet]

No list scarlet? Let's see your 10.

Pretty close to everyone else.

1) Brady
2) Manning
3) Montana
after the top 3 not in any order
Marino,Brees, Favre, Bradshaw, Tarkington Stabler and Elway sounds about right

 

[run4fun11]

Montana has to be top he never lost a super bowl game. Jmo

Either did I.

But I agree on Montana. Anyone who has a state named after him has to be #1

 

[jteten]

1. Staubach
2. Aikman
3. Romo
4. Don Meredith
5. Danny White
6. Dak Prescott
7. Jason Garrett
8. Steve Pelluer
9. Quincy Carter
10. Tom Brady

Not sure how you got that vibe, but okay.

without blanda saving his ***/games then stabler dosen't deserve mentioning. in fact just scratch stabler and put in george

Blanda made his late career rep by relieving lamonica not stabler

But see? That to a degree is my sideways look about Brady… surroundings factor in

 

[redwine65]

brady
montana
bradshaw

people with less rings like tarkington, stabler and marino

 

[Redscarlet]

I think we’re close in age, but I don’t remember Starr winning games by his play compared to Brady.
Of Course that’s been along time ago and they just started to play in the first two Super Bowls.
Jim Taylor and Paul Horning carried most of the load from what I can remember..
