Mahomes should be higher.

He's better than Brees, Favre, Young, and Marino.

He's also better than Montana, but Montana has the rings, but Mahomes is catching up.

Mahomes will pass Manning also at some point, but not yet.

Brady is his only competition for GOAT.

Agree this list is quite a bit flawed. Elway should be above Young. Warner is much higher than he should be.
I cant really comment on Graham & Baugh as they are way older so hard to compare to modern players. Staubach should be above Tarkenton
Aikman didnt have the numbers which really hurt him in this debate.

Most folks, media, fans, whoever, will automatically put Tom Brady at the top. Two handfuls of Super Bowl appearances and mostly wins will do that.

However, Brady still falls under Joe Montana in my opinion. I dislike the 49ers with a passion, along with the Steelers and Washington, but no other quarterback frustrated me more watching him play than Montana. And I am referring to any game regardless if he was playing against the Cowboys or another team.

Quite a few guys seem too high on this list. This is probably the most appropriate response to that tweet........

I think there is a "recent history bias" in the ratings as many of the pre-pass happy offense era QB's are pushed a bit lower in the list


It is purely subjective, but I would have moved several in the 10-20 range a bit higher.

Probably lower for now based on longevity of the others.
