I'm gonna say, right here and anywhere else, that I think he is the Greatest QB of All Time, and I don't think I have to apologize for thinking that.
he's got the stats, the ring, the unique style, the toughness, the records, the attitude.

The reason why I think he is top-10 is because he was never the best QB during the time he was playing. I'm not talking about MVPs because he did have a few years where he was best in the league, but he was never the greatest QB to be on the field at all the times in his career.
Be it Marino, Elway or Manning, I always believe that there was one player who was greatest than him playing. This doesn't take anything away from what he has done, but I feel that is why I can't crown him as top-5.

He's definitely top 10. Where he is in it, I don't know, and I don't think anyone can ever answer with 100% accuracy...

He's definitely top 10, and borderline top 5. For the purposes of this poll, I voted top 10.

He was definitely the best QB of the mid to late 90s. From 1994-97/98 no QB was even close to him. Elway was a better QB than Favre, yes, but not by the 90s. I think Favre edges out Marino anyway though.

He's had the best career for any QB that's started 275 consecutive games. He also is the best 37 year old QB ever.
I stay away from ranking guys because it is disrespectful to the guys from the past, like Otto Graham (8 championships), or that played with different rules, like no free agency or defensive and offensive rules changes. He will be a first-ballot HOFer in 5 years, and will be in a select club of first ballot HOFers.
I also believe he did more with less than the other QBs of this modern era, as the only real WR or RB he played with that had HOF potential was Sterling Sharpe and that combo was stopped so early in Brett's career. There are no Harrisons, Rices, Irvins or Mosses, Faulks or Smiths. Likely no O-linemen that will be HOFers. Reggie on defense and perhaps Leroy Butler (though non-Packers fans likely don't think so) were likely it for the other side of the ball. He still had a career that placed him #1 in a large number of QB categories and he'll be #1 for a generation or two of Packers fans for a long time.

I voted Top 5. The things he did on the field were unreal, and the streak is just mindbogoling! Something that can never be matched in my opinion.

Top 10. Not to take anything away from his stellar and spectacular career, but a lot of records are due to longevitiy. I would say he barely misses the top 5 in my opinion.
1. Montana
2. Marino
3. Unitas
4. Brady
5. Elway
6. Favre

I don't know if he is the best ever but one thing I do know is that he had the biggest influence on the game that has ever come from the QB position.
