I gotta say Joe Montana. If I was starting a team tomorrow I'd take Joe in his rookie year as my first pick.

The best QB of All-Time IMO was Otto Graham. The guy was amazing, played in the championship game all 10 years that he played, winning 7 of them. Highest winning % of any QB, also had the most rushing TDs by a QB until Steve Young broke it.

The guy was so much better than any QB in the league when he played it was amazing and there were some great QBs around back then: Sammy Baugh, Y.A. Tittle, Norm Van Brocklin, Bob Waterfield, and Bobby Layne just to name a few.

I'm one of those guys that thinks Montana is overrated. Sure, he was a good QB....but he played in a WCO.....Of course his stats will be inflated.

Of the guys I watched growing up, I always thought Elway and Marino were the best as far as talent goes.

Don't forget his winning. That's inflated too.

Hey, he was a winner no doubt about it.

But, if that's the only criteria used, then why don't people make a bigger deal of Aikman being the all-time best?

I'm willing to give him his due when others start giving Aikman his....instead we hear about how Aikman always had better talent around him.

Well, so did Mr. All-World Montana....plus, he would throw a five yard hitch, let the receiver break ten tackles and run for fifty more yards and get credit for a 55 yard TD pass.

Aikman would throw a laser on target twenty yards downfield perfectly leading Irvin, Novacek, or Harper and have the announcer talk about how great the receivers or OL were.

My post was more protest than anything else....I'm sick of guys like Montana getting praise, when guys like Aikman were just as good.

Gotta go with Montana- but its close with him, Roger and Otto Graham. Frankly, the difference between the three is very little. Roger and Otto were very similiar. But remember with all due respect to Otto, Paul Brown built an incredible machine in Cleveland. Even the best teams of ROger and Joe were not as dominant as the Browns were in the mid to late 50's. Only Detroit for some reason had their number.

Sorry, but lets be honest here. Joe hit the long and intermediates just as much as the short stuff; he worked the whole field. Only about one third of his passes were to the backs; he used all his receivers. Elway was too much of a gunslinger at times; same with Johnny Unitas. Joe Cool was just that.
