I always laugh when people say that quarterbacks aren't tough. Yeah, they're prima donnas for the most part I would imagine. But that doesn't mean that they can't take a hit or are pussies, shite, they're usually just standing there in the pocket waiting to take the hit.

Favre obviously comes to mind as the toughest ever. I also like the story my dad always told me about Tommy Hodson (may be true, may not) when it was one of his first starts as a Tiger (may have been his first start) and he bit off part of his tongue and still played. That was always impressive to me.

Who else ya got?

Archie Manning, took constant beatings and always played well despite the "talent" around him

Favre is easily #1.. So the question in the OP should be who is #2..

Brett Favre and it's really not even close. The reasons why are pretty damn obvious. Big Ben and Air McNair are also decent answers though.

Romo. Seems like every year he's playing a game with broken ribs.

Joe Kapp comes to mind. Bradshaw & Stabler were also tough.

1. Elway
2. Favre
3. Dave Krieg
4. Y.A. Title
5. Jim Harbaugh

(and Brady is a stick-figured thin-boned metrosexual wuss and wouldn't have survived the 80's let alone the 70's.) - he is so lucky to have played in the watered-down era of the NFL.

Brees had probably the worst injury a QB could have aside from having arm amputated and came back from it.
