Rank QBs Brady, Brees, Ben, Rodgers, Manning, Marino by the Poll

[Urgent]

Welcome to Bill Swerski's Superfans Roundtable.

Good list but I'd have Staubach during the 70's. Bert Jones?

Yeah, Staubach should have been there but I loved, loved, loved Bert Jones as a kid. Injuries killed him. I grew up near Baltimore.

 

[rochrist]

Ray Lewis killed Aaron Hernandez.

 

[TomPatriot]

Come on now.

Brady, Montana, Staubach, Starr, Unitas.

 

[RobertWeathers]

He’s your friend? Or did he just threaten you?

Nah. @fnordcircle is a good dude.

I still don't know what RL is?

 

[fnordcircle]

Both!

Me too, my family had season tickets to the colts, 35 yard line, east side. They had a good run in the mid 70s, but couldn’t get past the Steelers.

There is Brady, the guy with 5 rings, then everybody else in whatever order of your choosing.

Rings are only part of the conversation and at best a tiebreaker, IMHO, because much about rings is outside the QB's control.

Surely no sane person would claim that Bob Griese (2 rings) was a better QB than Marino (0 rings). Or that Eli (2 rings) is just as good as Goober (2 rings). Or that Eli and Griese are better than Brees (1 ring) or Rodgers (1 ring).

BB has said Bert Jones had one of the greatest seasons a QB has ever had. 1976 I think

 

[Zarozzor]

Staubach is the most underrated QB of all time.

Yes, mvp that year, but Steelers curb stomped the colts in the playoffs....

Yeah the rings argument bugs me because it's really lazy. There's so much that goes into winning a championship season and people try to make it all about the QB or all about the system depending on what pre-existing bias they're trying to prove out.

Ultimately I think all we can do is try to figure out how we think a given QB would perform if all things were equal. Like the old Marino vs. Montana debate. My guess is Marino would have made a ton of throws Joe couldn't make but Joe was probably more reliable in crunch time. As long as John Candy was in the stands, I guess.

But 'more rings = better than' doesn't do much for me.

or is it Ray Carruth ray lewised a girl

Raymond Anthony Lewis Jr. caused the death of one or more individuals.[check]

 

[Actual Pats Fan]

Yeah but he also said 'My Comments Are Not Politically Motivated'

Oh it totally does it for me

Va te faire foutre"

 

[mosslost]

Rivers is decent or no?

 

[Robdude]

I liked the QBs put on this list. Some playing some not. Still a few of QBs that are in the argument for GOAT are left off. Regardless, Brady is first on ANY list.

Ben is last.
