Plus I could be wrong but Marino amassed all of his numbers without a super star quality wr, cuz as good as clayton, duper, and irving were, they weren't top of the line kind of wrs.

It' interesting that you mention Marino and now he never got a ring because he was lacking a top RB. What if Elway had never gotten Terrell Davis? I don't want to take anything away from Elway, but what if he didn't get those rings at the twilight of his career (largely thanks to TD). I think the gap between him and Marino and possibly even Jim Kelly would be a lot closer.
I'd take Montana. My sleeper pick would be Phil Simms (even though he was a rival, he could get it done)
