Post by: Sandman on October 28, 2002, 01:38:57 AM: That's a tougher one...

On paper, Dan Fouts is better than Montana.

If we're talking Super Bowls, look to Bradshaw.

Come from behind type stuff? Sure... Montana or possibly Elway.

And I'm not even a 49ers fan.

If I could have one quarterback on my team, without a doubt it would be Johny Unitas.

So many modern quarterbacks... totally omitting the 70's.

Ken Stabler
Jim Zorn
Fran Tarkington
Jim Plunket
Dan Fouts
Ron Jaworski
Roger Stauback

Its too difficult to judge. Maybe its hard for some of the younger generations to understand, but you remember quarterbacks differently from different periods of your life ( I guess you do the same with most "heros" ).

The 2 best QB names in history.

Post by: AKDejaVu on October 28, 2002, 08:23:46 AM: Way before my time... which is the downside to "who's the best".

I think we always remember our favorites as being better than they actually were. We then weigh the modern quarterbacks against fond memories.

Post by: Sikboy on October 28, 2002, 09:12:07 AM: I think the big problem with "best" QB, is how the passing game has changed over the years. Dan Fouts would have fallen asleep with all the short outs and ball control passes that made Montana a monster to play against. That doesn't even get into "Favorite vs. Best" It's hard to drag your subjective opinion out of a question like that. For example... I'd reather watch Stan Humphries toss the ball deep, compleat with his 75 carreer QB passer rating, than watch Steve Young dink, dunk and run all day long.

So when I say Elway was the best, I say it with all the above considerations. He was playing "during my era" he represents the evolution of the passing game that makes him hard to compare with QBs from the 70s and before, and perhaps I've just seen more of him (since he was an AFC West QB during most of my Football Watching days)

Post by: JB73 on October 28, 2002, 10:24:40 AM: Farve without a doubt

his record at home is incredible.

his starting streak will probably never be touched.
(and he's still going)

Lifetime QB rating as good as any

3x MVP in a row (only to ever do that)

Post by: Airhead on October 28, 2002, 10:58:05 AM: Otto Graham- he won like 10 championships in a row. There was never a QB as dominant for as long as Otto Graham was.

Post by: MrBill on October 28, 2002, 02:22:40 PM: So many variables.

Otto Graham - Played on the most dominant team of the era hard to say what he was capable of if he were with a lesser team.

Slinging Sammy Baugh - My god there still has never been another pure passer like him.

Johnny U. - The man was a winner, called his own plays, good teams, bad teams, whatever, he won. Played in the non wuss era, no face cages just a single bar, no halo rules, no rib pads, no roughing the QB calls, In today's game the man might be a god.

Joe Montana - Another winner, not always surrounded with the "best" talent (except the offensive line). The man made the system work, the system made the man a star. Had that intangible ability to carry a team on his back when things were not going well, and the ability to get every ounce out of the team. Leadership far more important than raw talent.

All the others ... well that is why they are the others.
