AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Staubach and Starr should not be anywhere near a top 5 list, Staubach MAYBE top 10. Bart Starr wouldn't even say Bart Starr was better than Brett Favre.

1)Montana
2)Unitas
3-5 are interchangeable)Favre, Elway, Marino

My favorite:
1)Favre
2)Unitas
3)Montana
4)Marino
5)Elway

I didn't say what YOUR opinion was, I just told you your opinion was wrong. Especially about Bart Starr, he in no way compares to any of the QBs I listed. That is like saying Joe Namath is top 5. Starr was a game manager, game managers aren't top 5 qbs.

Just look at the stats for both Favre and Starr. Look at the players around each of them. Favre has never had a HOFer on offense, yet he is about to break all of Marino's records.

Staubach doesn't compare to Favre or Elway. Both Favre and Elway carried their teams with almost no GREAT players on either team(they each had the Sharpe brothers, the only players on either offense I would consider great)

Oooh, I completely forgot about Otto Graham, but people like him are a big reason I think it is really unfair to compare players(especially qbs) from different eras. I liked what SI did a few years ago. Compare QBs pre-West Coast Offense to QBs post West Coast offense.

Nice.

I'll just go top 5 here in no specific order for IMO the best QB's...

1) John Elway
2) Dan Marino
3) Joe Montana
4) Johnny Unitas
5) Peyton Manning (and yes I'll get ridiculed for this but it's my opinion)

Favorite: (mine will be more recent)

1) Tom Brady
2) Brett Favre (just for how he played the game, him being a Packer has no bearing on that)
3) Peyton Manning
4) Jim McMahon
5) Joe Montana

If someone wants me to explain Manning I will, but for now I'll just leave it.

someone447 · 02-05-2007, 10:17 PM

I debated putting Manning on mine, and I dont particularly like him. I think when all is said and done, he will be THE best ever. But I think I want to wait a few more years before I put him on a list.

Which is understandable, but I'm predicting the future kinda on my pick. Because I don't see his play dropping off for many more a year. He may not get better but he'll still play at a very high level. That and he's on pace to shatter a bunch of QB records I believe.

I guerantee I'll have to explain it but I'm more than willing to do so.

1. Montana
2. Elway
3. Marino
4. Young
5. Favre

Gribble · 02-05-2007, 10:22 PM

Favre isn't getting a ton of love on here. Just an observation.

Bradshaw shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with those guys.

Nobody views him as top 5 except packer fans. For the most part anyways.

Sometimes it is. Napoleon thought it would be a good idea to invade Russia. He was wrong.

While I agree, a lot of people do.
