Peyton Manning. I loved watching Favre too but I just love how Manning has represented himself all these years.

 

Funny thing is during the our glory years in the late 80's til mid 90's I couldn't really like other QB's, RB's and WR's - I guess I was always wrapped up in our guys getting compared to them all and usually fighting for national respect - so while always knowing and respecting they were great I couldn't like them.

Your top two are mine as well. Roger Staubach was the first QB I watched when all we had was CBS and NBC on Sunday's. He was a true leader who never gave up on a play.

Earl Campbell rumbled like an indestructible super hero. Defenders left flat on the ground or hanging on to his jersey and getting dragged for 7 yards.

 

These are images that remain in my head today when I think about why I love football.

He's in my top 3, all of which are QB's from that era. Joe Willie was so impactful for the AFL, but Unitas' nemesis Bart Starr was my all-time fav from another team.

Peyton Manning. The dude's knowledge and passion for the game just shows. He's so fun to watch.


Also, although he was long before my time, Earl Campbell. I love watching footage of the dude just running over defenses like he was a bowling ball. He literally could have walked into the endzone if he wanted to because he was just so strong and couldn't be brought down.
