Guest gwf0704 Report post Posted December 22, 2002 Not sure if it belongs in the sports section or Lists section so I'll leave it to the mods. But my humble opinion is: 1) Joe Montana - Mr Clutch who broke my heart when the 49ers beat the Cowboys with "the catch". 2) Dan Marino - He's got records for the passing records he broke! 3) John Elway - How many comebacks??? Just a great passer and player. 4) Roger Staubach - To me, the best quarterback the Cowboys ever had. 5) Terry Bradshaw - 4 Super Bowl rings. Nuff said. 6) Johnny Unitas - Legendary qb who was one of the great passers. 7) Steve Young - 2 Super Bowls and a bunch of passing records as well. 8) Brett Favre - One of the best still playing. 9) Jim Kelly - 4 straight Super Bowl appearances is still nothing to sneeze at, whether they lost them all or not. 10) Troy Aikman - To me it was more the system than anything else, but you cant argue with success. Just my 2 cents.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DrTom Report post Posted December 22, 2002 Unitas at #6? That might be the most unintentionally funny thing I've read this week. 1. Johnny U. He was a field general before the term had been coined, the master of dissecting defenses, and had a knack for calling the right play. He also got a lot out of receivers who lacked the physical gifts a lot of their peers had. 2. Joe Montana. The best quarterback since Unitas, and the man who defined the pocket passer for the modern generation. 3. Sammy Baugh. A lot of people who saw him play swear he was the best of them all. I don't agree, but he was still damn good, and would have been damn good in any era. 4. Fran Tarkenton. A guy who doesn't get much press, despite holding about a bazillion records (some of which have since been broken). A good passer and a good runner, he was the prototype for the mobile QBs who are all the rage today. 5. Y.A. Tittle. Another old-timer who gets the short shrift from people who think Marino deserves to be on a top ten list. A great, gutsy competitor who played the position for a long time, and played it with a linebacker's mentality. I'd probably round out the list with Roger Staubach, Bart Starr, John Elway, Norm van Brocklin, and Brett Favre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
