Re: Now that Favre is officially done, where does he rank all time?
IMO MY Top 10:
1) Sammy Baugh Best athlete to ever play the position. Singlehandedly revolutionized the position - playing OFF/DEF/ST, and was better than his contemporaries as a qb by a degree that is historically unmatched.
2) Joe Montana- Great field leader. Smart guy. Knew where to throw the ball. Very well schooled player.
3) Bart Starr - Same as Montana
4) Johnny Unitas - say no more
5)Terry Bradshaw - first 4 SB winner at QB. Brought his team from behind in both SB's vs two very very strong Dallas teams. His throws to Swann and Stallworth in the big game were incredible. I do not care about stats or that he was on a great team. This guy won the big games.
6) Roger Staubach - If it weren't for the Steelers, Staubach would have won several more SB's. Tough guy/great leader/Winner
7) Steve Young statistically a great QB. Overlooked: rushed for over 5000 yards, averaged 6 yards carry and scored 52 rushing TD.s and still a great throwing QB. Five seasons of over 100 Qb rating and five season at or near near 70% completion percentage. Insane numbers and a SB winner!
8) Tom Brady - Youngest 3 Sb winner. 7th round pick. Not expected to make the NFL.
9) Brett Farve - Longest career, one SB.
10) John Elway - Great athlete.
11) Peyton Manning - Incredible QB. Story still being written, will move way up before career is over.
12) Dan Marino
13) Dan Fouts
13) Otto Grahm
15) Sonny Jurgensen
