here my top 6 picks:
1- Tom Brady
2- Drew Bledsoe
3- Steve Grogan
4- Babe Parilli
5- Tony Eason
6 - Plunkett
You forget how purely talented a passer Eason was. He personally carried the Pats on his shoulders in 1987 after the retirement of John Hannah and the collapse of the running game. The problem with Eason was that he was not as dedicated a career player as Grogan, Brady or Bledsoe.Not sure I would have Eason as top 5 candidate.
Personally, I put Bledsoe behind Grogan.

The reason it is difficut to compare the QBs is because they all brought different levels of plusses and minuses to the table. Brady is ultaimtely the best because of his willingness to do the homework. Grogran perservered on pure guts, but made too many mistakes. Bledsoe relied too much on his talent and thus also made mistakes, which becamwe his ultimate downfall. Eason could have been a great QB if he weren't such a California guy.
In terms of pure talent, my top 3 are...
1. Eason
2. Bledsoe
3. Brady
I stop as 3 because I don't honestly recall how good a QB Parilli was and how to compare him to Grogan.
In terms of dedication and willingless to do the homework...
1. Brady (by a landslide)
2. Grogan (because of his guts)
3. Eason (not sure about this one, but he must have done something right to hold all the Patriot throwing records prior to Bledsoe's arrival).

Saw them all in person...
3. Eason - I mean Eason at his best here, pre-skirt era
QUOTE]According to John Hannah there was no pre- skit it was all skit. Read Tales from the Patriots Sidelines there is a good write up about what Hannah says about him.
My list
1. Brady
2.Grogan
3. Bledsoe
4. Parilli
5. Plunkett
