What’s the greatest NFL QB head-to-head rivalry of all time?

So I saw where Tom Brady will be a guest of Peyton’s at his hall of fame induction tonight (I think this is awesome btw). It got me thinking, are they the greatest QB rivalry of all time?
Others that make a solid argument:
Bradshaw-Staubach/Stabler
Kelly-Marino (neither ever won a SB though)
Aikman-Young
Unitas-Starr

Brady vs. Manning is the best as far as probably the highest rated pair of QBs that kept facing each other in the playoffs. Both Brady and Manning are Top 10 All-Time QBs, with a legit argument that both are Top 5.
However, I do like Bradshaw vs. Staubach in that discussion as well. Both were Top 20, each leading the best team in their respective conferences during the 1970s, and faced off against each other in two very competitive Super Bowls. A 5 point swing in either of the two match-ups suddenly has Dallas and Pittsburg with 3 SB wins each in that era, and Stauhbach with as many SB MVPs as Bradshaw, actually more if that five point swing happens in SB 13.

Namath-Unitas
ETA: Sept 24, 1972. Hailed at the time as the greatest day of quarterbacking in history, Unitas throws for 376 yards on a career-high 26 completions. Namath, meanwhile completed 15 of 28 for 496 yards and six touchdowns.

A legit argument? Is there any argument that both aren’t top 5?

Maybe.
Let's just say for sure the only solid assumption is that Brady is #1.
Montana
Manning
Marino
Unitas
Brees
Favre
That six seems to be close to a consensus as following Brady. So is Manning one of the four out of that to fill the Top 5? Some could make such an argument.

I mean your fellow Vols don't even think Brady is top 10.
