The OP is a troll, but if you're legitimately trying to rank the Top 10 QBs of all time, even most of the guys you listed will have to be left off.

I'm going cheat and name the top 10 thru 11/25/2015 in no particular order:

Brady
Manning
Montana
Elway
Unitas
Marino
Graham
Staubach
Young
Favre

Rodgers and Brees may end up there, but I don't think you can put them there yet, and I love Brees.

Please tell me you're either his agent or a relative.

Edit - I've always considered Eli to be more of a #2.

There were a lot of great qb's back then...Today you have maybe 8-10 elite qb's...The rest are mediocre to decent...Back then the number of quality qbs was way higher than now....

Please name me a year when there were more than 8-10 elite QBs in the NFL?

Top to bottom the league was pretty damn average. The fact that no more than 3 or 4 guys separated themselves doesn't mean the rest of the league was better.

FWIW, only 3 of the Top 50 Passer Rating seasons occurred during the 70s, and none of the top 32. I'm not going to try to QB rating an end all, be all, but it certainly doesn't help your argument.

Considering what teams asked of QBs in the 1970s, I have a hard time crowning most of the league as elite.

ETA: only 3 of the Top 100 Passer Rating seasons occurred during the 70s. The 4th 1970s QB doesn't appear again until #136 - Ken Anderson in 1974.
