Who are the top 10 NFL QB's of all time ?

[ThaTopMoron]

Brady is the total package. Records, MVP's, Rings, Longevity, Game winning drives, Competitiveness, etc... Lots of great quarterbacks in the league over the years but Tom ranks #1 or very high in all categories we measure great or the greatest qb's of all time. This guy wasn't a high draft pick for a reason and hasn't always had great recievers just the other teams signals lol b4 he finally tuned his skills and became elite in 07, and oh just a dominate defense in the playoffs that always came up with the stop/turnover the entire coaching staff in those earlier years all eventually ended up as a HC themselves, he has always had a line that he can just stand behind forever until someone is open, he had Vinny the most clutch kicker ever in those early years instead of other guys having kickers who fell apart in the playoffs.

It's always difficult to compare players from different eras, too many people just look at stats and that's not really a good comparison. The modern era/current QB's have a huge advantage because of the NFL rules that continually promote more passing and more games played to compile those numbers. It was much harder to compile those gaudy passing stats back in the day, DB's and LB's didn't have the handcuffs they have now when playing receivers. How many modern era WR's or TE's would get alligator arms going over the middle with Jack Ham or Butkus waiting to hit them, under the less offense friendly modern rules, that receiver is getting laid out whether he touches the ball or not. It doesn't matter if the ball is even being thrown his way, he's getting hit just for being there, no flags, just another incompletion and hope he didn't get his bell rung too bad. With all the rules that now protect QB's, late hits, hits to the head, hits below the knees, roughing the QB, tuck rules etc. how many of today's great QB's would have long enough careers to compile those stats. The kind of calls and protection afforded to the Bradys and Mannings of our world wouldn't have been extended back then, outside of pulling a gun and shooting a QB they didn't get those kind of calls. I'm not saying the modern QB's aren't tough enough, but hits like that shorten careers and you can never say if one of their careers would have ended prematurely due to injury. Another consideration is the improvement of modern medicine, the type of treatment and surgical care common today was just science fiction 20+ years ago. I'm not saying the great modern QB's still wouldn't have been great players in another era, just don't discount what it took to be a great QB back in the day.

Guys I would want in a regular season game against the Browns. Manning Marino Elway Unitas Brees Moon Fouts Rivers Kelly Young Guys I would want in the playoffs, win or go home. Montana Brady Starr Bradshaw Aikman Staubach Favre Roethlisberger McNair Otto Graham

This...............

Silly Manning fans. If the Pats line is as great as you say, please explain these numbers.
Sacks-
2007 (Brady)- 21
2008 (Cassel)- 47
2009 (Brady)- 16

How is it that Brady was sacked 10 fewer times in 2 years than Cassel was in 1, even though Cassel was a much more mobile QB? If the line has been so great, why did they allow the 5th most sacks in 08?

[hhsilver]

I'm glad to see these names on some lists:

Baugh
Graham
Unitas
Luckman

with all the media c0ck sucking the past week you'd think little timmy was already top 10

[redsoxfreak91]

1. Leaf
2. Jamarcus Russell

I would put Jamarcus 1 and Leaf 2 as Jamarcus was tripping balls during games on his purple drank

[redsoxfreak91]

but for real I would say 1)Montana 2) Brady 3) Marino 4) Manning but I believe after Brady and Manning are finished it will be 1) Brady 2) Montana 3) Manning 4) Marino

Cassel doesn't get rid of the ball as fast... as I recall, the last time he had started a game prior to the Brady injury was in like high school or some shit... the coaches told him, if u don't have the first reads open or u think its a risky proposition... eat a sack hold onto the ball and punt and wait for the D to get the ball back. just don't turn it over a ton and give us no chance to win!!!

u know, don't be a Rex Grossman lol

or its just as simple as, HE DOESN'T GET RID OF THE BALL AS FAST AS ELITE QBS U FUKKN RETARD

and I like how out of everything that I added to that quote... the only thing u tried to disprove was the offensive line play ....LMAO

[thejrichshow85]

when it's all said and done 10 years from now it will be aaron rodgers with 4 superbowl rings

[ThaTopMoron]

when it's all said and done 10 years from now it will be aaron rodgers with 4 superbowl rings

could very well be. he is a monster right now and i love watching him play to get my elite qb fix this year w/no manning

i just love elite qbs who can pick apart a D any day of the week all day long. and no... BS CHEATING like with Brady early years

[zsr]

1. Peyton
2. Montana
3. Brady

Brady should not be number 1, like everyone has stated he has had a great offensive line, great defense and the greatest head coach of all time. No doubt he's one of the best of all time, he's just not the best. The cheating scandal is another thing in itself, lets be honest its probably not hard to pick apart a defense when you know whats coming

[jmdudney]

Mark Sanchez
Ryan Leaf
Andrew Walter
Bubby Brister
Joey Harrington
Akili Smith
Tim Couch
Kyle Boller
Elvis Grbac
JaMarcus Russell

[Tree Rollins]

If i was starting a team TODAY, and everyone was in their prime, my list would go something like this:

1. Brady
2. Manning
3. Marino
4. Montana
5. Elway
6. Kelley
7. Young
8. Brees
9. Staubach
10. Aikman

If I had to win one game, my starting QB would be Kurt Warner.

Guy was sacking groceries months B4 playing in the NFL. I love guys that work their way from the bottom without much fanfare. Sacking groceries, to the AFL, then the Superbowl. Can not knock that guy.

If your life depended on 1 game, you'd take Warner? Interesting. I don't even think Warner would take Warner if his life depended on it. I have a lot of respect for the guy, but if all things are equal, how is he better then Peyton Manning or Tom Brady?

so now you're claiming to know what the coaches told him?


What does Cassel's release have to do with anything? You said Brady has all day to throw because of how good his line is... why wouldn't Cassel receive that same protection? His release has nothing to do with your argument. Do you even read the dumb shit you post?

I didn't address the rest of your post because it was just stupid. Really, bringing up the taping incident? You obviously don't know the rules of the NFL, or the fact that what they were accused of is still happening with other teams. Maybe you heard about the Jets employee taping on the sideline during the last game against the Pats? It is legal to tape on the sidelines even now, as long as you wear a green vest and work for a team-run TV show. Notice the team-run part? Does the NFL monitor any of this? Doubtful. But go ahead, keep thinking that the Pats were the only team doing it, or that it was even an advantage. It didn't help them in-game, so it wasn't against the rules

[floridagolfer]

Kordell Stewart has to be on the list somewhere.

[thelegend67]

for one game-elway. but montana, elway, brady. manning needs more rings, favre too many picks, too few rings. but seriously, bob greise. if you start a thread, and include him, just go kill yourself.

I did not say, "If my life depended on it." Although if my life depended on it I would take Troy Aikman. Lifelong Cowboy fan. Even when Troy was accumulating multiple concussions he never became mistake prone. Man I swear I thought Troy was going to live the last half of his life with amnesia from all those concussions. Especially when Lavar retired him... http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...?v=BynBZNiE9EA
