Ranking the QB's

[RaZon]

What do we do with Slingin' Sammy and Johnny LuJack, Bobby Layne, Frankie Albert? What do we do with Otto and Johnny U, Frantic Fran, Bart Starr?

You read anything about the great QB's talking SI/ESPN/Sporting News etc you will se Otto Graham and Johnny Unitas mentioned. Some mention Staubach. Most mention John Elway and Fran Tarkenton. Oh yeah....Dan Marino and hell....Joe Montana, Some...Jim Kelly. Dan Fouts?

So how is this done?

The best pre 1980 QB I ever saw play was Johnny U, Otto came a little before my time (if possible, ha!) Unitas was great as was that whole offense. John Mackey, Lenny Moore, Ray Berry all HOFers. The worst important QB's were Bradshaw and Namath, both sucked and their numbers prove that out.

I can dig deep into this having all I need to get down into it and come up with a top 50 list but it will always be......different era back then. So just how do we compare Otto Graham to Big Ben, Staubach to Dak

As of right now just going to go with the best QB for each team

Cowboys....Troy Aikman
Eagles....Donovan McNabb
DC Dragons...Sonny Jurgenson
Giants...Eli Manning
Packers...Aaron Rodgers
Lions....Matthew Stafford
Bears....Sid Luckman
Vikes...Frantic Fran
Niners...Joe Montana
Rams...Kurt Warner
Cards...Jim Hart
Seahawks...Russell Wilson
Falcons...Matt Ryan
Saints...Drew Brees...who is tailor made for TV
Buc;s.....Vinny Testerverde
Panthers....Cam Newton
Chiefs....Patrick Mahomes
Broncos...John Elway
Raiders...The Snake
Chargers...Philip Rivers (sorry Dan)
Bengals....Ken Anderson
Browns...Otto
Steelers...Big Ben
Ravens...Lamar Jackson
Jets....Joe Namath
Dolphins...Dan Marino
Bills....Jim Kelly
Pats....THE GOAT
Colts....Peyton Manning
Oilers/Titans...Warren Moon
Texans...Desuen Watson
Jags....Mark Brunell

Now how do we rank the top 50 all time, we use....what?

I just laughed that the Bears have to go back to Sid Luckman to find a decent QB

 

[Captain-Crash]

we probably don't need to do any of it. It's close to the holidays and the hating and bickering could use a rest.

That always astounds me, no franchise has been around longer than the Bears, they were there on day one 1920.

Ok so what gifts do we give our Cowboys, hmmmm?

Dak ....well hell he can afford anything he wants, hell....an island.
Zeke....two brand new wheels
Malik....a t-shirt that reads...LT Junior
Diggs ...number 11-12 on Sunday
Tony...another 10 pounds
Amari...a smile
CeeDee....more RB carries

You must be high taking Mcnabb over Randall Cunningham

 

[WillieBeamen]

Bucs best QB is TB12

Props for getting the Cowboys right tho

 

[RaZon]

Starting off....

1.Tom Brady
2.Joe Montana
3.Peyton Manning
4.Aaron Rodgers
5,Drew Brees
6.Brett Favre
7.Dan Marino
8.Johnny Unitas
9.Otto Graham
10.John Elway

 

[RaZon]

You must be high taking Mcnabb over Randall Cunningham

Cunningham 4 pro bowls, 56.6 comp%, 81.5 passer rating
McNabb 6 pro bowls, 59 comp% 85.6 passer rating

Easily McNabb

Can only use a QB for one team, my made up rule.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Starting off....

1.Tom Brady
2.Joe Montana
3.Peyton Manning
4.Aaron Rodgers
5,Drew Brees
6.Brett Favre
7.Dan Marino
8.Johnny Unitas
9.Otto Graham
10.John Elway

Not bad, but I'm moving Elway to 6 or 7.

Not easy finding a good QB.

 

[morat1959]

Here’s my homer list.

Cowboys…The Dodger is my all-time favorite NFL player. Troy..1B
Saints…Archie Who…Brees 1B
Chargers…Fouts..Rivers 1B
As much as I could NOT stand him…Bradshaw over Ben in Pitt.
Hard to make a list without Steve Young’s name on it so I give him honorable mention behind the 2nd best of all -time.

 

[KJJ]

Dan Fouts was better than Philip Rivers.

 

[johneric8]

Cunningham 4 pro bowls, 56.6 comp%, 81.5 passer rating
McNabb 6 pro bowls, 59 comp% 85.6 passer rating

Easily McNabb

McNabb had a better team around him.. An unbiased eye test of both QB's renders a more talented Cunningham..

Nice post! My mind started whirling with names from years gone by to present day.

 

[RaZon]

His numbers won;t support than just so ya know.

 

[morat1959]

Pretty close! Cunningham was the better pure athlete while McNabb was the better passer.

 

[morat1959]

I actually agree a lot with some on this post whom I disagree with on other post.

 

[KJJ]

Cunningham had some good teams. Those Philly teams had two of the best defensive players ever in Reggie White and Jerome Brown. I would rate McNabb ahead of Cunningham.
