I agree. I’ve never liked Peyton but when I look at all the numbers in front of me in comparison with other quarterbacks and try to weigh everything, I just can’t see him below 6. Of course I don’t have Baugh and Luckman in my top 10 even though I really want to. One of my main issues is the lack of info on their W/L records.
I can see why some people have Peyton as high as 3 behind Brady and Montana. Obviously quite a few either don’t count or just don’t have the info to rate Graham, Starr, and Unitas high and I get that.
For me it’s Brady as the obvious #1. Then Graham or Montana at #2 and #3. Then #4-6 are some order of Manning, Starr, and Unitas.
@Ice_Ice_Brady spreadsheet lines up with my thinking that there’s a decent sized gap between #6 and #7. I’d lean Staubach at #7 and Young at #8 at the moment.
Of course the fun is going through all the stats and info, and seeing if your list changes after looking at it all. Who knows, I could change mine in a week.
