in terms of pure talent at QB in Boys history
1 White - IMO, the best passer in Boys history by far and the second best runner, could make any throw with incredible touch, put up monster points with great targets and a busted OL, the smartest too, and a top notch punter - it's disgrace he's not in the HOF
the other 4 QBs below played behind great OLs (at least for some of their career) Danny never had better than average
2 Meredith - arguably the best deep passer in history, plus willing and able to run over LBs (we forget one of he best athletes to ever play QB)
I think his 5.8% career TD% is 3rd behind only ***Otto Graham's 6.9 (see below) and Aaron Rodgers at 6.3 * and did it in a far less passing friendly era of rules
compare vs Troy at 3.5, Dak 4.6, Rodger 5.2, Danny 5.3, and Tony 5.7
- Elway 4.1, Plunkett 4.4, Namath 4.6, Star 4.8, Marino 5.0, Stabler 5.1, Montana 5.1, Warner 5.1, Brees 5.3, Bradshaw 5.4, Brady 5.6, Manning 5.7
3 Prescott - despite goofy short touch, Dak is tied with Brady for the lowest career INT% at an amazing 1.8%, (1.9 this year so far, despite the 3rd most sacks)
and most of his rare INTs came off the hands of his targets - despite the notions of his haters he makes far fewer mental errors than any of the other 4 on this list
don't under estimate the kid - remember this, when sacked 3 or less time a game he wins 80% of games and he's our best running QB ever
4 Staubach - with a stronger arm Rodger would have had another 10 TDs a season, the best leader, heart matters, he could will a team to victory
5 Aikman - not a great runner (like the 4 above), IMO not super bright, but maybe the best mid range passer ever, his demeanor inspired confidence
an honorable mention to Romo for finding ways to make plays, way under rated due to a lack of playoff wins
for anyone who didn't realize it - Romo is one of the best deep passers ever, and never seemed out of a game
Quincy don't make the list but, he could throw the ball a country mile
*** BTW, Otto Graham was the best player ever, not Jim Brown or Jerry Rice or Bob Lily, and Brady ain't close
his career stats are stunning - the best W/L ever 81%, best YPA ever 9.0, the best TD% ever 6.9, 7x first team all pro, and won 8 titles in 10 years
those are real numbers
he was also a first team NCAA basket ball player (point guard), the first athlete ever on a Wheaties box
and the most dominant team athlete ever in any major pro sport (LeBron included)
and Dak didn't have the best rookie QBR ever at 104 - Otto did at 112
