Tannehill has better career stats than most people think

Eli and Aikman are too high.

Rodgers is an insufferable douche, but that guy can sling the football and is as talented as they come.

I'm a huge Brees guy, but Rodgers has some incredible throws that I think maybe only a handful of guys could also make.

I'd be hard pressed to put too many guys in front of him.

I would have Brees over Favre and Elway for sure.

Marino should be a few spots higher, but otherwise a pretty accurate top-10. Mahomes still has the opportunity to move up, but I think if he retired today that #4 would be fair.

Mahomes is questionable


I also think there's a possibility that Mahomes begins to flat line due to injury and the fact that the talent around him is not what it once was. He was not good this past season.

I think he's a great one, but sometimes I wonder if he gets the same results without Andy Reid who had proven his offense could win big in the league for decades... I think Mahomes is a perfect fit kinda guy.

Bradshaw was 4-0 in Super Bowls. Seems like that would get you in the top five.

You must be blind or not know a damn thing about football then, because Favre single-handedly saved the Green Bay Packers franchise. The Lombardi days had ended a quarter century earlier, and that franchise had turned into pretty much the Cardinals. I don't think people realize how hopeless and shitty the Packers had become. They were a joke that no player wanted to play for. Before someone says "Reggie White", yeah he helped also, but he'd never came to Green Bay if Favre hadn't have been there. Reggie said so himself. The proud franchise that the Packers are today started because of Brett Favre.

+1 Exactly. Favre had some of the best arm strength you'll see.

Archie Manning on there invalidates the list. He was garbage

The presence of Kerry Collins on that list is an insult to the game of football.

Marino is overrated if we’re talking top five (maybe top ten) quarterbacks.

He was one of four future NFL Hall of Famers on the 1980 Pitt team, and the 1981 and 1982 teams were ranked #1 when they lost key regular season games. None of them won a national title.

Marino’s prime in Miami coincided with the AFC champion getting the absolute shite kicked out of them in the Super Bowl nearly every time during a 13 game losing streak. But Marino couldn’t make it but once and was 1-2 in AFCCG - all in Miami. At least Elway dragged three pedestrian Denver teams to the Super Bowl and won his first as an 11 pt. underdog.

Other than a great 1984 season and beating the 1985 Bears, there’s not much else to write home about in the remaining 14 years that he played. The Dolphins just threw the ball all the damn time.

And Marino and Unitas should be over Brees.
