Who is the greatest NFL Quarterback of all time?

My vote is Tom Brady, I think QBs nowadays are better than they used to be and Brady is better than Manning IMO.

Joe Montana. Favre is one of the worst in my opinion...

QBs appear better nowadays because the rules favor the passing offense.

I don't really know who I would pick. You could make a great case to me for Johnny Unitas though.

I think Joe Montana. You cant vote for Manning after last years super bowl.

I did :o

Seriously though, Manning should retire with all of the major QB records. Others have one more superbowls, but football is a team game, he only controls what his offense does. It;s not his fault Colts have been weak against the run for years.

I know next to nothing about football.. So.. Im gonna say Joe Montana just cause I like to conform

Joe Cool, duh.

John Elway, DUH!!!!!!!xfactor19990

I am. I can throw the ball through the hole of a tire suspended from a tree with a rope.

No Dan Marino? He is only faulted because he never won a super bowl. But skill-wise, he was one of the very best.

Because he too also fell to Montana. See SB XIX. No Jerry Rice either. 8)

Out of this list Joe Montana. But Brady having 3 rings is a close second.

I don't say Montana is better than Elway because of that SB alone, it's just more ammo. I've written many arguements for why Montana is the G.O.A.T over the years, but I'm not in the mood since I really couldn't care less about football ATM. I will say I loved watching Elway as a kid too, and I do agree he is better than anyone else on that list aside from Joe. I'd take either of them over anyone else playing right now for sure.

Really, no wai? My whole world has been blown.

I think it could be either Montana or Peyton Manning, although I voted for Montana. Brady is good, but I think he's a product of the system in New England. Dan Marino also deserves much consideration. I would have to give Brett Favre consideration as well, if not for the fact that he acts like a diva and throws too many INTs. His longevity does deserve respect. If McNabb ever wins a Super Bowl, I'd have to put him in the mix too. I don't see it happening in Washington though.

Elway was a great QB, but not as good as many people seem to think. Take a look at his stats (completion percentage, TD to INT ratio, yardage, etc..) compared to these other guys. His don't even measure up to McNabb's.

After all is said and done Manning will hold just about every QB record. He is the GOAT.

[QUOTE="BMD004"] You realize that football is a TEAM game, right? Better team does not = better quarterback. BMD004

No, I say he isn't THE best, not that he isn't one of the best. You think I don't know it takes a team? I've always believed it starts at the top, from ownership, GM, coaching, and both the o-line and d-line before I start worrying about the QB. The reason the niners have 5 Super Bowls is because of Eddie D, Carmen Policy, and Bill Walsh and their superb eyes for talent and coaching.

[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"]

[QUOTE="BMD004"] You say that he shouldn't be considered one of the very best because he lost to Montana's team, the 49ers in the Super Bowl? My point is that it should have nothing to do with how good of a quarterback they are, seeing how there are 30 to 40 plus players other players on your team who get playing time every single game.

Hmm... oh yes, let's take out the number book. That is basically what all Marino supporters have isn't it?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here, I'll take out the ones that matter. You know the ones in the postseason:

Most TDs (45)

Games with a passing rating over 100 (12)

Second in passing yards and games with 300+ passing yards (5,772)

1,1142 yards, 11 TD, 0 INTs, passer rating of 127.8, 3 MVPs, and 4-0 record in SB's

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can list Montana's regular season numbers too, but what's the point? He has them, difference is, he didn't have to do everything. He had more weapons, a D, and the greatest coach that ever lived. Marino and Elway didn't, which is why they had to those things. What Montana did have that made him stand above the rest, was his ability to come in the clutch. Be it MNF, playoffs, or the SB, Montana came to play. That is why he won all 4 SBs, and had both the biggest blowout SB win, and arguably the greatest comeback drive ever as well. Take into account he did this in a non salalry cap and tougher era for passers, and just further boosts his legend. Even in KC, he proved it when he toppled Elway's Broncos on national telivision and took the Chiefs to the AFC championship game.

I'm not going to waste my time any further. I'm not trying to convince you. You can believe whoever you want is the greatest, but for me, if my life was on the line, there is no QB I'd take over Joe Cool.

Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas.

Green Bay ,born and breed....I bleed the green and gold so I guess my vote would go 4.............JOE MONTANA !!!!!!!

right in their with Dan Marino,Terry Bradshaw,the great Bart Starr ,these are the legends of the NFL not gutter trash like Vick,Elway, and that piece of stinky cheese who is stinking up Minnesota ,whats-his-name Bent Turncoat ,Brent Backstabber.....Ah I forget.

Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas.

Farve, Manning, and Brady shouldn't be on this poll. Damn you current pass happy era...:x

Montana. Never seemed to lose in any big game.

Joe Montana -QB today is MUCH easier to play: 1. rules on hits to QB 2. rules on WR's 3. plays called for them (except for Manning) = can't compare stats b/w eras The position is about winning Favre is good...but not an all-time great IMO (he has longevity). But I can think of at least 5 QB's I would take over him (not in top 5 = not an all-time great IMO) Montana, Manning, Brady, Elway, and Staubach...maybe even Youngrawsavon

Finally someone recognized Manning for his playcalling abilities. I mean audibles almost every damn play because he can read the defense.

Favre is one of the worst in my opinion...

GD-1369211121

Anyone who goes to the Sports Game Discussion board could probably tell you that I'm as much of a Favre-hater as anyone, but there's no way he's one of the worst QBs ever. He deserves to be in the Hall-of-Fame when he's done.

Anyway...I'd probably say Peyton Manning.

Also no mention of Jim Kelly is very disappointing.
