Spiderweb Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Graham, Baugh, Tittle? Y.A. was one tough little SOB, and a great competitor, but not as great of those already mentioned. On the other hand, if success is the real measure of a QB, then Otto Graham must be a top, if not the top, of all-time. For those not knowing, check out his career stats, wins, championships, etc. Sammy Baugh was great as well and a two way player if I recall from NFL History pieces....

Heard of Buffalo Bills Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 we only need 10 you have 15, and how could you have joe ferguson on there over jim kelly? Jim "Machine Gun" Kelly. Better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenirishmann Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 When I started watching football back in the mid-late 70's Dan Fouts was the best pure passing QB around. Even today I would still put him in my top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 When I started watching football back in the mid-late 70's Dan Fouts was the best pure passing QB around. Even today I would still put him in my top 5. Well, if you say pure passer then Fouts, Marino and Namath had the the cannon arms with high accuracy. They were pure passers. Quarterback means a lot more then pure passer and that is why guys like Bob Griese, Lenny Dawson, and Roger Staubach were great players. They made plays. They stayed cool under pressure. They won big games. Same with Montana and Brady. Kelly, Farve, and Elway of course make the list. You have to have Bradshaw and Unitas in there. I would say that Peyton Manning fits into both categories. I'm up to 14 now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, Roger Staubach, Joe Namath, Bob Griese, Joe Montana, Fran Tarkenton, Len Dawson, Bret Favre, Roman Gabriel, Dan Marino, Joe Ferguson, Steve Grogan, Terry Bradshaw. Gabriel was a so-so qb. Grogan was good but by no means great. Stabler and Ken Anderson blew these guys away to the point that there was no comparison. There was a guy that almost none of you saw, Bert Jones, who as Alaska Darin said and I quote, "might have been the best ever" had he not been injured. Bert Jones had an Elway arm with Staubach touch. He was big, and he could run like a deer. He might have been the most gifted qb who ever played.
