The title says "Five Best Improvising QBs of All Time", does it not?

It does. It does not say the five best QBs of all time who were also good at improvising. Improvising is the main criteria. That is what Cunningham was very good at doing.

I think Troy Aikman is a better overall QB than Cunningham, but Troy was not good at improvising.

Is this list a ranking or just 5 guys they feel are deserving? I don't know if Cunningham is the best improviser, but he is definitly top 5 in my opinion.

Troy was as mobile as Kurt Warner-lol

If Romo continues his success for another five years or more, he'll cement his place among these names for his play. He already has a number of "how did he do that??" type plays.
More of a, "How did they let him?"

Reguardless if the QB sucked or not, this is about a specific talent. The talent they are talking about is improvising, and who was the best at it. NOT who was the best QB in the world, but the best at this specific skill.

I watched troy from 89 to 00 and never saw any speed. Maybe you are talking about in his UCLA days

so he was a statue out there...never moving? :p: i said he didn't have world class sprinter speed. I'd put money on it that you can find clips of him out running a few DE

I don't remember him out running anyone, and if he did I probably was in the bathroom

The was Aikman's biggest weakness, when he had no time to pass he just folded up and fell to the ground.

then explain the hits out of bounds when he scrambled for first downs and missed his "alarm clock" and took a sack. There is a reason he retired due to concussions

Favre also has 436 incredible signature plays. Where's Staubach, Meredith and Aikman on that list?


Well Staubach and Aikman traded individual accomplishments for the TEAM SB wins.

Aikman signature = Accuracy
Staubach signature = Elusive Come from behind her


Next question!

You forgot this one.
In Super Bowl XLII, Passed for 25/32 for 527 yards and 8 touchdowns, and rushed for 1 more, in an 82-0 blowout of the Patriots. Unconfirmed reports that he called the Patriots "slut". Tom Brady cried, Belicheck pouted. The nation cheered at the whuppin the Patriots had coming.

Yes. This must be included. ;)
