    aikman should be at least 5 or better

    what about roger staubach
  4. James Manning Says:
    Aikman is a great QB but this is my opinion. I find it hard to put him over Bradshaw and I definitely can't put him up to number 4. He probably would be as high as five on a lot of folks list.

    Even though the Packers are now
    2-9,
    Favre is still the greatest!
    End of story!
  6. Rell Says:
    I just found this post from whenever man and I'm sorry, Favre at three is ridiculous at best.

    I hate to disagree butthere is NO WAY Favre should be ahea of marion, super bowl ring that reggie white got for him, included.
  7. Rell Says:
    I agree that Troy should be in the top 10 as well.

    Three rings and great stats... Fran Tarkenton? Roger Staubach?
  8. James Manning Says:
    I gave Favre the nod because of his mobility. Marino is sick and I wish he would at least gotten one. Heck, I didn't even put my favorite, Terry Bradshaw on the list.

    where the fuck is Boomer or how about Carson Palmer hes the next great
  10. James Manning Says:
    Boomer? I don't think so. Give Palmer a couple of more years. I think he will be a great one.

    oh, and for all of you guys cussing me out...

    Fuck you too.

    okay, Tom Brady... sucks. that man's career will stop short of getting him on a top 50 QB list.

    Troy Aikman is definitely NOT #3... look at Marino, never had a running game. what about Aikman's wide variety of receivers, running backs, and an amazing defense to boot?

    Marino is the best because, Montana and Bradshaw had the best defenses known to man. (especially Bradshaw, right?). Marino's defense could have always been alot better. Alot of these guys are only so great because they had all the tools and the big wigs at the front office moving things for them.

    In Montana's credit, he went to any team and made things work. Steve Young took alot of hard, hard hits.

    Favre is not three, because again... he wouldn't have gotten anywhere without Green Bay's defense.

    and I can't believe you people are arguing for people like Manning and Brady, their careers aren't even close to being over yet, how can you say that about them? Do some actual research, there are alot more quarterbacks than the people you see on TV today.

    Good List, but Terry Bradshaw should be higher, and where is Roger Staubach or Bob Griese? Those 2 should replace Peyton Manning and Dan Fouts

    There are only two QB's who could be considered the greatest. One's done the other still playing. I am a huge Elway fan but he has never played at the level of the two greatest. Forget Manning, Farve,and Young. I couldn't stand the 49'ers then and I can't stand the Patriots now, but Montana and Brady are in a league of their own. They are often comapared for good reason. As of today it's still Montana.

    By the way guys, chill out. This is just a blog, don't get so pissed. It isn't hard to figure out. Dan Marino never had a running game, that John Elway, Joe Montana, or Troy Aikman had. Dan Marino was the only reason that Miami was successful. His stats are proof enough. He just needed a running game and better defense, then he would have a superbowl ring for each finger. Marino is the best qb ever for now. I predict Tom Brady to be the best ever eventually.

    According to rankopedia, Manning is already the 6th greatest quarterback ever. Marino is firmly in the lead but Manning has many more years to play so who knows?
  28. Anonymous Says:
    where the hell is tom brady the man is sick if he wins his 4th ring he will go down as the best quarterback EVER!!! and troy aikman needs to be higher you cant be putting him that low.
  29. Anonymous Says:
    Tom Brady is a homer pick. He isn't top-50 in any major statistical category. Superbowls are about teams. Marino is proof of that. Had a decent running game a few years, but the defense could never carry their end of the deal. Greatest right NOW does not include Brady. Maybe some day.

    dont be stupid about marino...the amount of pass attempts the guy had is the reason his stats are so much better than everyone elses on the list...stats arent close to everything and he was an average qb at best inside the redzone

    but thats my opinion.

    I am a Green Bay fan but Marino is still #1 because he never had the team that any of these other QBs had and he still put up all time stats

    what are you guys crazy. Jim Kelly shouldve been in the top ten or atleast on the honorable mention list. Think about it, 4 straight super bowl losses even though they lost all of them he deserves some credit.

    Troy Aikman

    Marino lead every major statistical category for years. He had nothing to work with. He threw a lot because that was all Miami could do, and he was good at it.

    Montana was consistent as gravity, and that can never be overlooked.

    Favre is moving up on all the stats and sits atop some. He is tough as nails. (Most Consecutive Starts)

    Elway was awesome in the two minute. He was quick and tough. One of few qb's to take a hit and try to get the extra yard.

    Unitas was a precision passer who played in the 12 game seasons. What could he have done with more.

    Bradshaw ran his offense. True he played with one of the most forceful teams in NFL history, but he was strong and smart as hell.

    Young took some of the hardest hits out there. Don't forget who taught this man when he was young. (Montana). I couldn't put Young higher simply because of Jerry Rice. This man was the best reveiver ever!

    Staubach played great. It was a tough road for him with Bradshaw and the Steelers in his way. But don't sell him short, he got to the show and was the primary reason.

    Moon was different from all the qb's of the time. Now his type is a sought after kind. Amazing qb who is undersold often.

    Aikman was great, but he played with the 90's Cowboys. He had the all time leading rusher, Micheal Irvin (one of the best receivers ever), a great o-line, and defense.

    Teams make it too, and win superbowls. They are great but one man can't win them all.

    Honorable Mention: Dan Fouts, Joe Namath, Frank Tarkenton, Bart Starr, Jim Kelley, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady

    Sorry, but Manning and Brady just have to much football to play. For those of you who think that Brady is better, you're wrong. Peyton Manning will one day sit atop this list. Stats don't lie and Manning's are certainly better than Brady's, but Brady will also be here soon.

    You said that you'd rather have John Elway leading a two-minute drive over Tom Brady? John is still good at it... But Brady has lead so many two minute drives that and can't count how many he's lead! Two of them in the Super Bowl! Everyone who says that Tom Brady isn't as good as Peyton Manning is crazy. Before this year, Tom has had no top flight recievers and has won three Super Bowls. Manning has had Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and Brandon Stokley... and only has 1 Super Bowl ring! Now that Brady has Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, Wes Welker, and Benjaman Watson. He's been putting up numbers Manning can't touch! Brady is the best of all-time!

    Whoever says that Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the history of the NFL is crazy. He is better than Manning, but no where near as good as Elway and Montana. I think John Elway is the greatest ever because he won more games than Montana with less tools than Montana. Let's not forget that Elway got to three Super Bowls with almost no help, and when he finally got a running game, he won two in a row. Elway's mobility and his rocket arm (the strongest ever) would have made him even more dominant than Tom Brady if put in Brady's position.

    Elway #1
    Montana #2
    Unitas#3
    Brady #4
    Bradshaw #5
    Favre #6
    Marino #7(his whole offense was only passing so it ran up the stats, and he never won a Super Bowl)
    Starr #8
    Young #9
    Staubach #10

    Ok cmon. All this talk about TOm Brady being the best is stupid... for now. Yes, he takes ok recievers and makes them look good. And for the current bests, yes, peyton has great recievers. But Brady has a defence that can be compared to the 00 ravens and has always had a solid ground game. Teams cant just focus on Brady because of the ground game. So it isnt fair to compare him to people like Elway, Montana, and Farve. And by the way, that list that was just put up in a comment calling Favre #6, Favre deserves to be where he is. He is the Packers. HE's still playing, and the fact that he's still good is AMAZING. He's still good despite people saying he should just hang it up. ANd stp swearing at the guy, It's his opinion, you dont like it, dont read it.

    one word for montana..rice, if it wasnt for rice montana wouldn't have done crap...look at him when he went to kc he sucked. that is why Favre is ahead of him he is still winning and playing amazing. Favre never had a defense, look at the defensive stats from when he was in the league till now. why do u thing all the announcers have been saying he gets in trouble when he tries to do too much? can u also say only 3 time MVP in a row. There is something u people should learn... it is called think before u speak, that way u wont sound so stupid. Jim Kelly should be on the list. Aikman and bradshaw had amazing teams...example for aikman possibly the best oline to ever play, emmit smith, michael irvin enough said. Marino never had a team, and winning a super bowl has nothing to do with how good u are, second place records speak for themselves.How can Elway be better than Favre either, Elway has nothing on Favre, maybe 1 superbowl. Brady is terrible, he just has an amazing team, that is why he won those superbowls with defense. notice how his career high td passes was 24 until this year, Randy Moss.
