Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time
As far as i'm concerned, its almost football season. I'm pretty sure you know who's gonna be my number 1 but i dare you to prove otherwise.
1. Brett Favre (Green Bay)- Most consecutive starts among quarterbacks (the second most injury prone position in the sport). Future owner of every passing (and just about everything else) record thats measurable. He's a lot more mobile than people give him credit for. He's also pretty high up there on the 4th quarter comebacks list. He's got the stats, the ring, and the intangibles that make a great quarterback. He's the most untechnically sound qb that nobody shows films of when teaching young qb's how to play and takes more risks than any other qb and they usually pay off.
2. John Elway (Denver)- All time most sacked quarterback in nfl history 512 if thats not toughness i dunno what is. When you couple that with his stats, the fact that hes the all time leader in 4th quarter comebacks, and the lack of talent he had around him, you have to put him high on the list especially after his storybook ending to his career.
3. Joe Montana (San Fransico)- Had his fair share of 4th quarter comebacks and was the best qb under pressure. 16-7 in the playoffs... There's some teams that haven't won 16 playoff games yet. Not a big armed qb who single handedly redefined what the quarterback position was about. He took importance off of power and emphasized accuracy and technique.
4. Dan Marino (Miami)- Put up stats like you wouldn't believe and if he had a ring, he'd be #1 without question.
Here's a spot that troubles alot of people. Bradshaw, Aikman, Kelly, Young, and Starr are the usual suspects here because they were more or less dynasty qb's but im gonna go out of the box:
5. Rich Gannon (Oakland and many other places)- Now here's a guy who could do it all. Side Arm, OverHand, w/e the third thing is called. If he was put in a west coast offense set earlier, He'd of been unbelieveable. Now this is an odd pick for most because he didn't win alot for most of his career and only had a few good years once he was in oakland. He got beat in a superbowl because the opposing teams coach basically knew his playbook and what he was gonna do before he did it. If you don't think he was a great qb, look at what oakland turned into once he left. They struggle to win any games let alone playoff games. They went from one of the best teams to the absolute worse team. The sign of a great qb is how hard he is to replace. They haven't done it yet in Denver, Miami, Oakland, San Fransico, Dallas, or Buffalo and Green Bay is gonna be facing that same problem soon enough.
