I'm so tired of "Greatest Ever" discussions . . .

It's subjective. It's an opinion. It's agenda/bias driven.

There is no concrete criteria that clearly defines the label.



































Besides, we all know the greatest QB of all time is John Elway.

 

[THUMPER]

What a maroon! :bang2:

 

[Aikmaniac]

Umm...Steve Young above Roger Staubach?

 

[THUMPER]

I especially liked the line about Marino's 5000 yards in 1984 being equivalent to Wilt Chamberlain's 50+ points per game average in 1961/62.

No one, other than Wilt himself, has come closer than 37 points per game in a season, which was Michael Jordan in 1986/87, 13 points per game lower than Wilt's record!

Kobe Bryant is the only active player in the top-10 at #8 with 35.40 points per game in 2005/06. Chamberlain holds 5 of the top-6, including the top-4 seasons.

Last year Drew Brees came within 15 yards of Marino's record (5069 - 5084).

Marino's record will fall soon, probably within the next 3 years the way the game has changed to favor passing. Wilt's has stood for 40 years and no one has come anywhere close to it, I don't believe they ever will either.

Marino's 48 TD passes has already been eclipsed twice by Manning in 2004 with 49 and by Brady in 2007 with 50.

This guy is obviously an idiot, and a young one at that, he should avoid talking about subjects that he has no knowledge of. :bang2:

Dont hold back Thumper, did he get the title correct? I agree with you whole heartidly you just put it more elegantly than I would have.

No, he didn't get even the title correct because it is merely a list of QBs he thinks are the best ever.

The correct title should have been: "10 QBs that I think were the best ever".

I stand corrected and well learned. Did he get the language correct, or was he speaking some Whitlockism?

Definitely "Whitlockism". :laugh2:

Without a doubt!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cowboy Brian]

lol he 90% googled QB names.

Brady Manning Elway and Favre where the only ones he knew.


No Aikman on the top 10 with Brady is extremely idiotic. Aikman won 3 super bowls, didnt lose one and was actually a good QB.

This list is actually not too bad. I am sure if I looked at several different top 10 qb lists I would strongly disagree with most, but this one isnt bad. He has Steve Young too high in my opinion and where is Otto Graham? The person who used to be in all of these discussions back in the day who has completely dropped out of them is Bart Starr, poor Bart. If I were a Steeler fan I may take a little offense at Bradshaw being left out too. Fouts is a candidate.

 

[speedkilz88]

Steve Young has to be the most overrated qb ever with Favre not too far behind. Not that they both aren't very good, just overrated.

I agree with you that the article is bougus, but Wilt Chamberlin's record is that great.

First, he played against most centers who were max of 6'9". He towered over most players in the league. Also, basketball games were faster paced back then (more shots/scoring opportunities) which skew stats, such as Chamberlin's 50+ point average and Oscar Robertson's season triple-double average.

And if I remember correctly the "hack-a-Shaq" game plan was originally "hack-a-Wilt" until the NBA mid-season changed the rules to make that a technical foul instead of a regular foul.

very bias arguement right there...saying aikman won three super bowls and and didnt lose any is stupid. After Bradys 3 super bowl win should he have stopped trying? Im sure anyone here would take 4 super bowl appearances with 75% winning percentage with any qb

And hes still got a good 4 years left in him

 

[jobberone]

Umm...Steve Young above Roger Staubach?

Young was more talented than Roger but not nearly the field general Roger was.

Thats just the most obvious arguement.

Aikman is the better QB over Brady

 

[joseephuss]

What makes Young more talented? Staubach had a slightly stronger arm than Young and ran the ball just as well as Young. Steve also played in a more QB friendly era than Roger did.

 

[mldardy]

Steve Young is too high and Tarkenton shouldn't be in there at all.
