congrats. Tom Brady. greatest QB of all time

[DogDaze]

Tom Brady, hands down for me - and I've been obsessed with the NFL for 30+ years, and know a lot about the history of the sport.

Otto Graham won 5 straight championships and 7 in 10 years. Pretty damn impressive; I don't care what era you are playing in....

Aaron Rodgers is an amazing NFL QB and will go down as one of the all-time greats as well (barring some career-ending injury.) He is not getting enough love in this thread.

Otto Graham was a great quarterback.

I loved it when the college all-stars played the NFL champions each year.

Otto always coached the college kids.

Otto always coached the college kids.

He was a stud.

He still holds the record for career winning percentage as a QB and yards per pass attempt....

Damn Dog...showing your age my friend.

My all-time favorite quarterback was Johnny U.

He and Raymond Berry taught the NFL how to play pitch and catch.

 

[DogDaze]

Getting up there, Clover, but still young at heart.

I've watched lots of film on Johnny U. but never saw him play live. What a beast, and was drafted in the ninth round!

I grew up in the Montana, Elway, Marino era..

Dog, if you had to win ONE game that your life depended on.

Who would be your Quarterback?

Montana, Elway, Marino?

 

[DogDaze]

Montana, hands down, out of those three......

Aaron Rodgers overall....

Montana, hands down, out of those three......

Dog, you have more NFL sense than 98 percent of the posters here at RX.

Elway is still the best QB in the modern NFL.

 

[loomis41973]

Montana
Brady
P. Manning

No particular order.

OK Red...make a case for Mr. Elway............

I differ but debate is good..................

 

[Haystacks]

I would love to trade Edlelman for Reggie Wayne straight up assuming Reggie has a couple more years in him.

dont quit the day job

Elway is still the best QB in the modern NFL.

elway could only win with illegally constructed rosters. denver cheated to win their SBs illegally circumventing the salary cap. fact not opinion. must be nice to construct a roster breaking salary cap rules to keep sharpe, davis, elway, smith etc etc.


see capgate, where denver lost draft picks and received multiple fines which were the biggest in league history.

Brady is the best in this decade...but the best of all time, NO. He wouldn't do jack shit if he played in the 80's -90's. I look at the best and see what they could have done through many many years and Marino could have done it all in any era. Imagine if Marino came into the league the same time Brady did with all the rule changes, 6+ receivers, no defense, and not much talent in the league. If you took Brady back in the day, sorry guys he would have no shot

Marino the best QB talent that ever played

No defense ? You mean like what those dolphins teams played ? They gave Marino everything he wanted and he still couldn't deliver. Brady delivers. And he would have done the same thing then as he does now... WIN

 

[Gaped]

Montana was better

 

[REDEYE]

Elway took teams to Super Bowls that had no business being there..for a good part of his career he was pretty much a one man team..great arm strength , could make all the plays out of the pocket if needed..clutch.....if you just watched the QB's play and compare them on what they could do and accomplish , Elway stood out..He also didn't have a top notch coach , played tough in an era when you had too..

No chance

Marino was a overrared QB imo for someone that's considered a superstar..not saying he wasn't good , but he was the reason at times his team lost..

Marino doesn't sniff my top 10
