Is Brees not pretty much Marino with a ring? Doesn’t seem crazy to me.

Noodle arm? Did you not watch Brees at all before 2019?

Elway above stave young is fantastic

Steve young is the most under appreciated QB ever

Young- not ranked

64.3%—221 yards/g—1.92td/g—0.74 int/g—96.8 rating

Elway-54 on list

56.9%—234 yards/g—1.44 tds/g—0.98 int/g—79.9 rating(woof)


Freaking young has damn near modern QB stats from his era. It’s insane how good he was and nobody mentions him barely

Not the worst list but yea Marino was better than Brees, Favre should be above Rogers and where are Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas? Starr won 5 championships, Unitas won 4. Where is Roger Staubach?

It’s stupid to put QBs on an all-time list that are still active players.

I'm not some Brees fanboy, but if anything, Brees is too low on that list.

Marino should be no less than #5. And Steve Young should be in there instead of Bradshaw.

I love Elway and his ability, primarily scrambling and throwing on the run, was a big reason the Broncos went to those 3 Super Bowls at the beginning of his career and he did not play with an elite supporting cast until the mid-90s BUT he wasn't a particularly dominant QB statistically compared to his contemporaries until 1993. Is this because of Dan Reeves' (RIP) conservative offensive playcalling? Yes absolutely it is but at the end of the day, football has to be about production and efficiency because that translates to winning games.

Replace Bradshaw with Unitas and it's a decent list - probably captures the 10 best though I might quibble with some of the ordering.

Dan Marino is the greatest talent to ever play the QB position and should at least be top 5 on this list, also Roger Staubach and Tarkenton need to be on this as well

Brees before he fricked up his shoulder was lethal.

Also, what is holding him back on that list is only 1 SB.

Super Bowl

No Super Bowl

It's honestly a pretty good list other than 1 or 2.

ETA:

Unitas needs a spot, so does Young. Bradshaw needs to be bumped.

as a saints fan, i feared young when we played the niners way more than i feared montana.

that fricker would run like a fullback with the accuracy like no other.

Any top ten list that doesn't include Staubach can be immediately dismissed as nonsense.
