NFLN - Top 10 Players To Wear #12 - Staubach Only Ranks 5th

[WPBCowboysFan]

I just caught the last 15 mins or so.

10 - Andrew Luck
9 - John Brodie
8 - Randall Cunningham
7 - Ken Stabler
6 - Aaron Rodgers
5 - Roger Staubach
4 - Jim Kelly
3 - Joe Namath
2 - Terry Bradshaw
1 - Tom Brady


Kelly, Namath and Bradshaw rank higher than Roger?

I am speechless . . . . . . . . . . .

 

[Alexander]

Namath? Kelly? I get the top two.

 

[Christiann]

I know this person was high when they put Namath above him, now with Kelly..yeah this columnist is on some next level stuff.

 

[Section446]

I'm fine with Brady being #1, but Roger at #5?

If you dont put Roger at #1, Brady is the only one that you could make an argument for to be #1. Even Brady is questionable IMO to rank higher than Roger. I mean Brady lost 2 Super Bowls to E-Lie.

 

[Alexander]

Jim Kelly. Four time Super Bowl loser. Joe Namath, known more for a guarantee and his playboy lifestyle than his legitimate accomplishments in his professional career.

Great list.

You could make a decent argument for Kelly and maybe even Bradshaw because of the rings but Namath at 3rd?

Bradshow was very very good. Staubach was better. No question about it.

 

[Alexander]

Bradshow was very very good. Staubach was better. No question about it.

As much as it bothers me, I can concede Bradshaw was better. He has the hardware.

 

[joseephuss]

Staubach should be number 3 at worst. Bradshaw has said Roger was better, but Terry does have the rings in head-to-head battles. Namath isn't better than Kelly, Rodgers or Stabler. Kelly probably should be 4th, but behind Staubach.

The Cowboy hate machine grinds on.

How is Andrew Luck ranked 10th of all time? I'm sorry that's just laughable to me, regardless of how talented he is right now. I guess there really hasn't been that many good #12s' in the NFL for them to be putting a 2nd year player, and no I'm not knocking Luck(he's great).

 

[big dog cowboy]

Thanks for the Monday evening laugh.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Statistically, Roger was better then Bradshaw and not just by a little bit. QB Rating between the two is a good 14 points higher for Staubach. However, if you are going to say that Championships decide, then OK, I can understand that but if, in fact, that is the reason, then Kelly and Namath have no business being ranked where they are.

perfect example of the failure to understand the concept of the word team.

One play in either game and we win. Yet somehow you think this makes Bradshaw better. Pathetic.

In every measureable way Roger was the better QB.

I would put Bob Griese ahead of Luck at this point.

 

[burmafrd]

for a couple of years Dunte Culpepper was supposedly on his way to the HOF.....

 

[burmafrd]

if Bradshaw was twice as good as Roger because he won two more rings then he must be FOUR TIMES as good as Marino, right?

 

[Risen Star]

I used to believe it was all about the rings when it came to QBs. Now I realize you have to look deeper into it. They're certainly still judged that way but nobody will ever convince me that Eli Manning is a better QB than Peyton Manning. Or Tony Romo, for that matter.

And yet we have numerous posters here who sing the praises of E-Lie simply because he has 2 rings.
