PlayoffsPlease Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Your top 3 are correct. Wrong order. Its 1. Brady 2. Montana 3. Manning Marino and Rogers are arguably the next two as the top 5 Passers of all-time. That is slightly different than top 5 QB. I think I would put Johnny Unitas fourth. And then Terry Bradshaw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It’s interesting to see that a few on here don’t realize that in Tom Brady they’re getting to watch the best player, not just best quarterback, (arguably in any sport) right now, and don’t recognize it?

Big Turk Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I honestly can't choose anyone before the 80s because it was like playing checkers compared to an increasingly hard game of chess through now. Defenses and schemes have become so complex that I can't say anyone who played before this era is top 5. They would have to show me they could handle doing things they never did or never even knew how to do. It was much, much easier playing QB back then. My top 5 are: 1a) Brady 1b) Manning 1c) Rodgers 4) Montana 5) Brees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 1. Brady 2. Montana 3. P. Manning 4. Unitus 5. Brees I know Brees won't be a super popular pick in the top 5, but I really love watching him. So incredible how many seasons he's thrown over or near 5,000 yards. He seems like a good guy too. I think Marino is slightly overrated. He was great to be sure, but never won a championship and actually threw quite a few INT's. Great passer of the football, though. I also think Rodgers is a little overrated (just a little bit), but at least he has won a championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Rules were not there to protect the qb Its easier now Brady doesn't have to worry about Dick Night Train lane trying to cripple him on every down Also WR get free run of the field Back then you could shove the wr around all over the field and then Ronnie Lott could come over and decapitate the receiver. Marino's 48 tds in 84' is ridiculous when you compare the eras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 So just throwing this out there as a Kelly homer—NONE of the other class of ‘83 greats playing in the AFC (Elway, Marino) EVER were able to get past Kelly in the playoffs; Jim won each time head to head (and let’s not forget also took care of Montana in ‘93 AFC title game) while acting as his own OC at the line. That little publicized fact lost in the 4 SB run was one of the reasons Vic Carucci, who I believe made his case to the voters, mentions that Jim went in the HOF on the 1st ballot. Also for what it’s worth, the Bills beat each of their SB rivals the same season or immediately after, each of the SB losses. Unfortunately while I think Brady is probably the GOAT and JK is not in the top 5, I still prefer JK’s tough nosed playing style and attitude as my #1 all time. Talk amongst yourselves... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
