Its kinda hard to argue with #1 and 2 on this list but I think its a pretty good list.

I would have made Unitas Starr #1 with Staubach/ Bradshaw #3, they didn't play eah other enough. Unitas Starr was twice a year for first place cack when there was 1 palyoff game, the NFL championship.

I might have included Lamonica/Dawson for the AFL days there.

Only John Elway vs. Bernie Kosar strikes a sour note woth me, the others make sense.

Namath vs. Kolber didn't make it???

Speaking of Namath, the rivalry of Johnny Unitas vs. Joe Namath was a real stretch since they probably only played once, in SBIII, and an over the hill Unitas didn't come in until the second half. I like that they recognized Otto Graham vs. Bobby Layne, showing interest in the history of the game, but then, where's Sammy Baugh/Sid Luckman? The Brady/Manning picture, Peyton must have had his high heels on already. I didn't think he was that much taller than Tom.

5 Rings for Brady!!

Any historical perspective is welcomed by me. It is too bad most football fans think football began with the superbowl.

Or Super Bowl XXXVI, which of course was one of the top 3!

They didn't meet often, but didn't you see them mention Namath throwing for 496 yds. and six touchdowns? I know Unitas threw for over 400 yds. that game also, because I saw it.

That game was unbelievable, like the Bird vs. Dominique Williams game where they both went over 50.

Correction, Unitas threw for almost 400 yds.

I agree that Unitas Namath rivalry was a fake.

They were in separate leagues and didn't play each other.

Bart Starr vs John Unitas was much more a competition.

Baugh/Luckman should be there as well.

Namath had much more problems with the Raider's Lamonica and KC's QB Len Dawson

Good points I would have put Lamonica\Dawson and Baugh /Luckman over Unitas/Namath and Elway/Kosar. Other then that I like the list.
