Joshawaggie Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 you forgot Fran Tarkenton, but I'm sure people would just dump on him anyways cuz he didnt win the SuperBowl. I wouldnt vote for him anyways, but I thought he would be included in a long list like this..I voted Johnny U @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac the Knife Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 In my lifetime? Joe Montana. Hands down.All-time? I'd have to say who I voted for - Otto Graham. His numbers aren't great by today's standards but back in his day he was #1 with a bullet... and leading your team to TEN consecutive title games as he did from 1946-1955, win or lose, puts you among the elite no matter what.

Saintsfan Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Its a bit premature maybe but I went for Brady. He has achieved so much already, and has plenty of time to add to it. I also think that what you what as a QB is important. I didn't want some flash passer ahead of an intelligent and determind decision maker. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I went with Joe Montana.Although, I don't feel it's out of the question to choose Tom Brady. In fact, I almost did. The only argument against him is "He's too young, and hasn't played long enough to be the best"... but that really only works to his credit as he's already a 3-time Super Bowl Champion, coming off of, probably, his best season -- and he plays with the poise of a well-seasoned veteran (especially come playoff time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I hate brady anyway so he'll always be a lucky hack to me. Elway was great, Marino was great...but I must go with the Great #4. Put brady on the worst team, they'd still be the worst team. Put Favre on the worst team, said team now has a shot.

slapshot Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I went old school with Johnny U. It's hard for me to compare modern QB's with the older ones since the era from Bradshaw on was much more pass-happy. I think Unitas did more to improve the image and role of Quarterbacks in his era than others, and the only other QBs I can think of that totally changed the way anyone feels about the position would be Montana an maybe Elway. In Unitas' time, he was the only one putting up numbers later mirrored by Marino, Favre and Manning.And besides, he had a haircut you can set your watch to.

Put brady on the worst team, they'd still be the worst team. Put Favre on the worst team, said team now has a shot. But favre has 1 superbowl ring to Brady's 3. And man for man weren't Favre's Superbowl packers better than the Pats are now? Thats not to say favre isn't a great QB, all the guys on the list are, but Tom has done wonders so far. And would the Pats have won 3 superbowls without a Brady behind center? his leadership on that final drive in there first win was a sight to see, even more so from a first year starter. And for me QB has a lot to do with brains, less with the arm. 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatCityEnforcer Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Went with Automatic Otto for this one.....10 title games in 10 years? Yet to see anyone match that. That's greatness, IMO....may not be the stat leader but being consistantly there year in and year out for a shot at the ring....I'd have to give Jim Kelly the same consideration as well...4 straight shots at the ring in ANY sport is hard to do...Montana was a very close 2nd for me on this list (seeing he and Elway were the GODS of the comeback win....too bad Elway never had much of a running game until very late in his career, otherwise he'd have more than 2 rings in his collection)...Johnny U was close as well...he set the benchmark by which all QBs are measured, IMO. That and he was a part of a very consistant bunch (those Colts teams in the late 50s, 60s, and early 70s were great...I try to cloud out the sight of him in a Chargers uni )Manning, Fouts, and Marino never entered the equation....all the gaudy stats in the world and a combined 1 SB appearence among em...and in that one, the Niners made Marino run all over Palo Alto crying for his mommy. (Am I alone in finding that dig on Marino by Boomer Esiason after the Pats/Colts game extremely funny?)Brady? Jury's still out right now....he's had a phenominal start to his career (as much as I hate to admit it seeing I despise the Pats..although in his defense, at least he ain't a stinkin' Dolphin), but I wanna see what he and the Pats can do WITHOUT Crennel and Weis there to help out Billy Boy (and I can't place this guy on the "Greatest Coaches Of All Time" platform yet....he might have a better record in the Postseason than one Vince Lombardi, but Vince still has more rings....that and I remember how much of a frickin' HACK he was when he coached the Browns v. 1.0) FANTASY TEAMSHousatonic U.

Sterling84 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 And man for man weren't Favre's Superbowl packers better than the Pats are now?Man for man the 1996 Packers were one of the all-time great teams. Even though it feels kinda like they weren't cause it's my team and how could that be. Not since the '72 Fins had a team scored the most points in the league AND allowed the least points in the league in the same season.Add to that the fact that at the time Chris Jacke was the most accurate FG kicker in history and Desmond Howard had like 2 kickoff and 2 punt returns for TDs and I think you can make the argument that the '96 Packers were the last champions to be obviously the best at every phase of the game.As opposed to say, the Ravens, who were clearly better at some parts than others.As for how that relates to Favre's greatness? I have no idea. I can not speak with intelligence on the issue of the greatest QB of all time. Far too many factors to weigh.#4 is my favorite all-time. But hard to argue against Unitas or Montana.
