What are your top 5 qbs of all time

[ChalkyDog]

My list is still the best.

[slacker00]

How could the Giants 86 be one of the greatest teams ever...they won one title and didnt have a dynasty. How many hall of famers were on offense 1986 for Giants...the bears of 1985 had better defenders and a better defensive scheme...and a top 3 rb of all time Payton

A team can only win one title in a given year, so yes, the 1986 Giants won a title. 1990 Giants won a Super Bowl too.

The 1986 Giants won during the prime of the Redskins & 49ers dynasty and the 1985 Bears were still going in 1986.

[Eddy Munny]

Steve Young is the most overrated QB ever. Easy to get fantasy stats throwing to future HOF WRs. Deion won his ring.

Couldn't you apply the same argument to that Joe guy before him?

[inTomWeTrust]

in terms of all the things that make you a "complete" QB you know 0 about football if Steve Young isn't on a top 3 of all time list...

Please dont make me go and get #'s and give reasons

[slacker00]

Joe won 4 rings. His first two were before Jerry Rice. He was throwing to Dwight Clark and a bunch on no-name guys.

You don't want to get numbers and reasons because they all point against Steve Young being great. Talk Tampa.

Joe won 4 rings. His first two were before Jerry Rice. He was throwing to Dwight Clark and a bunch on no-name guys.

But these are reasons FOR Joe, not AGAINST Steve.

It's not exactly fair to dismiss Steve just because he inherited a prosperous situation and followed in the footsteps of a legend.

Steve should have had 3 rings with those teams. They were stacked in the 90's and they got one ring.

[inTomWeTrust]

right with the the Dallas Cowboys of the 90's best Offense line of all time emmitt smith and troy aikman and irvin

[Eddy Munny]

I'm just playing devil's advocate...I don't believe for a second Steve Young is worthy of top 5 consideration. I await Tooter's submission to bolster his argument on behalf of Steve Young. I am on my way to the refrigerator to score me a cold one. My work here is done.

I'll bolster more since Tootie is too shy. Young was a bust with the Bucs. Young was a backup until he was 30.

[slacker00]

Regular season is fantasy numbers. What did Young do against real teams in the playoffs? He was mediocre at best.

[inTomWeTrust]

only through 6 tds in the superbowl

Michael Vick 5857 yards rushing. Do you have Michael Vick in your top 5 too?

Neither here nor there....

Neither here nor there....

You quoted rushing yards. I give you a better rushing QB.

Steve Young has one ring. Take that ring away, he's got nothing. Lots of mediocre QBs have a ring.

[inTomWeTrust]

how many Rushing yards and TDS does vick have in playoffs? or SB Rings the question is best qb of all time... please stop...

I NEVER once said I thought Steve was better than Montana because he wasnt.... but what im saying is hes much closer top 3 than most when it comes to puting them in there.... you can look at anything.. reg season.. marino is best... rings?? bradshaw has 5 ... so please man just stop we're talking OVERALL Best QB and Steve young is top 3-4 of all time

[slacker00]

Fantasy stats. You are convincing yourself, apparently, but nobody else. Young was 1-1 postseason guy.

Steve Young was absolutely amazing. Right up there with Montana and Brady.

Yes, Steve Young was great. That's a fact few will argue. But top 5 all time is an elite class....Greatness alone doesn't guarantee you a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of football.

For me it really comes down to playoff wins. Steve Young had 8, compare that to McNabb who had 9, Steve Young is basically the white Donovan McNabb. Nothing wrong with that, but not the greatest of all time. Guys like Brady, Montana, Elway, Favre & Bradshaw have double that.

[inTomWeTrust]

White McNabb? The guy put a ball in the tightest of spots, his accuracy was unreal... the way he ran with his feet combined with football smarts? The guy was a genius, plain and simple. He still is, Is he better than Tom or Joe? I dont think so. Is he in the same league as Favre or Elway ? You bet your ass he is.. You had to of watched him play as a Football player to see just how good he was.. Talk all you want about post-season or rings.. the guy put the best performance on in the biggest game there is out of any QB of all time and that's a fact 43 rushing TD's? Those #'s his smarts and class with the whole Joe thing? I would take him If i had to take 1 qb in one game out of that whole list.

[Rich Boy]

Brady
Manning
Montana
Brees
Rodgers

[cruzing vato]

If you want to bring up rushing yards, why not Cunningham n his 4900 yards, or Michael Vick. With 5800 yards. Seems like they both compete with Steve young.

[Unwritten Law]

Aikman
Montana
Favre
P Manning
Brady
