Cowboy bias. Gil Brandt like many Cowboy people have some bias to GB given the Packers have had their way with Dallas. Staubach is appropriately placed but Aikman doesn't belong near this. He's a HOF but he isn't better then Rodgers or Dan Fouts who also is omitted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Key word "greatest", not "best". Everyone knows that Manning was the best QB ever, but he wasn't the "greatest". That's generally measured by championships. Its why guys like Aikman and Bradshaw are on the list. That said, the list is odd. Montana should be #2, if it's truly based on greatness, and if it's not, Aaron Rodgers should be on the list. Kelly and Moon don't belong (no SBs, but Moon won 5 Grey Cups) although I think they're both probably in the top 20 or so of all time. FTR, Moon is probably a bit underrated in general. Between the NFL and CFL, he had over 70,000 yards passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is Troy Aikman. Kelly deserves to be on the list before Aikman. Yes Aikman has the SB, but I don't remember defensive coaches fearing Aikman at QB. And for the guy who thinks Moon should be removed is NUTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 My top 10 would be Brady Manning Montana Brees Rogers Elway Favre Unitis Marino Young Brees is going to end up with every single passing record ever. He just had the misfortune of being in the same era as probably the 2 best QBs of all time. If Brees was born 10 years earlier or 10 years later, he might be looked at as the best ever. He just lost a lot of attention with Brady and Manning being there at the same time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Steve Young belong on that list. He led the NFL in passer rating six times, is 4th all time in rushing yards, and has a title. Young, Rodgers, and Fouts on. Aikman, Kelly, and Moon off. Rodgers will be in the top 5 by the time he retires. 1.) Brady 2.) Montana 3.) P. Manning 4.) Unitas 5.) Elway 6.) Graham 7.) Marino 8.) Rodgers 9.) Favre 10.) Brees 11.) Young 12.) Baugh 13.) Staubach 14.) Tarkenton 15.) Bradshaw 16.) Fouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
