Vote for Joe Montana 1) Joe Montana

No one touches him, no one.

moggielover

Leadership, Leadership, Leadership... The most important skill of a QB and Joe was a leader in every sense of the word.

mbm727

I’m a dolphins fan going with montana, the greats can win when it counts

Vote for Brett Favre 2) Brett Favre

Why do you think he has won the most games by a qb.

olhrocks

Defenitely

Razor79

Whoever votes Joe above him is a noob

nolvorite


Vote for Tom Brady 3) Tom Brady

Tom is going to go down as the greatest QB to EVER play the game. Him and Troy Aikmen are the only QBs to ever when 3 Superbowls in 4 years! Can’t argue that!

tjvallejos

he is the best

spendogdatsyuk

the pats have been my fav team for as long as I can remember and that is for one reason TOM BRADY, he’s easily the greatest quarterback ever won 3 superbowls, 16-0 season, 5 broken records in one year

blakeffcadets


Vote for Peyton Manning 4) Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning is the not only the greatest QB, he is the smartest! If Tony Dungy had not pulled him at the end of his record breaking season, he would have had well over 50 td passes. Not to mention, it took Brady 578 pass attempts and Peyton 496. He will hold every record in the book before he is done playing the game.

there is no way that peyton should be number 4!
is is number #1 no doubt!

cameronmorgan10

peyton then marino no need to say ne thing else.

azzmatik


Vote for John Elway 5) John Elway

The Comeback Kid was strong, fast, tough, driven, and more won back to back Superboels and then retired. Peyton or Brady may pass him one day.

apachereporter

He was the only quarter back ever... ever to come back from a blow out FACTS.

laredo1loco13

Could any of the qb’s above have taken the first 4 no name Denver teams to the Super Bowl? Could Elway have taken their teams, Yes! Elway=Winner

Vote for Dan Marino 6) Dan Marino

The Class of ’85 is amazing. Jim Kelly, John Elway and Dan Marino. BTW if Steve Young wouldn’t have taken 2 years off before College he would be in the class of ’85 as well. Marino is terribly underrated. Too much emphasis on Championships. But since the QB doesn’t get to choose his teammates I think its rediculous. Lastly, somebody has to tell the Steeler fans to stop voting for Bradshaw. If you look at the stats you will see he needs to move down. But I suppose if you judge a QB by championships he should be #1. I suppose he invented the steel curtain?

XO

I am a big dolphins fan and dan can throw the ball with great accuary no one will ever be as good as Dan Marino

ginn19

Marino is No. 2 QB right behind Otto Graham and ahead of Johnny Unitis. Favre had too many mediocre years for No. 1.


Vote for Troy Aikman 7) Troy Aikman

troy is awesome

shasta23990

troy aikman is the best qb ever COWBOYS r the best


Vote for Johnny Unitas 8) Johnny Unitas

This guy was DOMINANT, and not just at quarterback.

Malorian

DIFFERENT TIME, BUT INCREDIBLE LEADER UNDER PRESSURE.

John Unitas Rules he is the best ever playing the new york giants and beating the giants


Vote for Terry Bradshaw 9) Terry Bradshaw

I’ll give some love to my boy TB even though I think it’s really montana for sure.

a little surprised Ben Roethlisberger isn’t even in the top 41?

madcowsarecrazy

TOM BRADY HAHAHAHA THATS FUNNY! YOU FORGOT THE ONE SECOND BEST TO MR. BRADSHAW JIM PLUNKETT

oriely24

I’d move him into the top 10. Great player in his era. Something like #9.


Vote for Fran Tarkenton 10) Fran Tarkenton

Speed.

waterboy51

"The Scrambler." Tarkenton held just about every NFL passing record that existed when he retired. He also changed the game by becoming the first quarterback to take off and run when his receivers were covered.

BurtReynoldsWig

This guy was amazing. I’d put him #7 on my list. Single handedly (well, an exageration) made the 1970s Vikings relevant. Best scrambling quarterback to ever play the game. More exciting to watch than even Farve.

Choices Not In The Top Ten

Vote for Steve Young 11) Steve Young

Was a beast on the ground and in the air! With the best career passer rating, he is obviously the most consistent.

iknowcierrewoods

He did what was expected from him.

Baltimore1993

STEVE YOUNG HAD THE BEST CAREER PASS PERCENTAGE OUT OF ANY QB TO EVER PLAY IN THE NFL. WITH A CANNON FOR AN ARM, WOULD BE IN THE TOP FIVE IF HE DIDNT GO OUT EARLY DUE TO CONCUSIONS

Vote for Kurt Warner 12) Kurt Warner

Best 3 years in football history for a quarterback

great quarterback with a great team he had too many injuries.

Vote for Roger Staubach 13) Roger Staubach

great guy

Vote for Joe Namath 14) Joe Namath

Should be well into the top ten

great character and player

T3nFromdaSouth

One of the best dizerves to be in the top 10



Eagles36

Vote for Bart Starr 15) Bart Starr

Technically Has Won More League Championships Than Any Other QB

mikeman317

bart starr has won more championships than anyone. he is the greatest. brett favre is 2nd best!

jwileson

Can’t argue about that. Perfect quarterback for GB at the time.

Vote for Brady Quinn 16) Brady Quinn

Just give him time...

Vote for Drew Brees 17) Drew Brees

What the helll? Drew Brees is phenamonal. Its just amazing how he plays.

A7X1234

I don’t think he’s the best but he should be up there. If Vince Young, Michael Vick, David Carr(who just might be the worst qb ever), brady quinn(who has never started an NFL game in his life), and Joe Namath can be up there than Brees should because he is a lot better than all of them combined.

ChrisHenry

Vote for Jim Kelly 18) Jim Kelly

Michael Vick sucks. He was a terrible passer and had a very small football iq. He was never good and is the 3rd biggest bust in Nfl history. That guy is right Michael Vick doesnt deserve to be in the top 10 or top 100 for that matter. All speed and flash no accuracy or conistency and hes not gonna be top 10 once he gets back get that outta your head. Vote for Kelly hes a real quaterback. He makes Michael Vick look like David Carr by comparison.

Chris-1

One of the toughest Qb’s to ever play the game. Threw 60yd bombs as accurately as anyone.

Vote for Michael Vick 19) Michael Vick

HE DOSENT DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOP 10

i think he will be in top 10 when he comes back and when hes done

Vote for Otto Graham 20) Otto Graham

he has the highest winningest percantage for a qb and won more championships (7) than anyone even bart starr (5) and joe montana (4)

olhrocks

I’m old enough to have seen him play. Graham to Max Speedy or Graham to Dante Lavelli. Option to Marion Motley.
This man is number 1 of the QB’s.

agreed he deserves at least top 5 if not top 10

Vote for Vince Young 21) Vince Young

This guy was great in UT. Definably should be in the top 15 or top 10!

gibsonrock53

the best running QB ever,barely been in the league but still should be up there

Vote for Len Dawson 22) Len Dawson

Good selection, I think.

Vote for Dan Fouts 23) Dan Fouts

I agree.

Vote for Phil Simms 24) Phil Simms

over 33,000 yards, two super bowls, with never playing with any high profile WR.. He needs to be in the hall

Vote for Ken Stabler 25) Ken Stabler

Could win any close game in the last 2 minutes

Vote for Eli Manning 26) Eli Manning

Leading the Giants to victory in superbowl 42!

Vote for Jay Cutler 27) Jay Cutler

Vote for Randall Cunningham 31) Randall Cunningham

Vote for Daryle Lamonica 32) Daryle Lamonica

The mad bomber.
Daryle Lamonica went 66-16-6 as a starter, good for an .801 winning percentage, best in NFL history.

Vote for Sonny Jurgensen 33) Sonny Jurgensen

from wikipedia:In many circles, he is recognized as the finest pure passer of his time. A five-time Pro Bowl selection, he earned three NFL individual passing titles. With a career rating of 82.6, his stats include 2,433 completions for 32,224 yards and 255 touchdowns. His strong arm is particularly notable. On a 2006 NBC 4 broadcast with George Michael, Jurgensen said in his prime he was able to throw the ball 80 yards.

Vote for Y.A. Tittle 34) Y.A. Tittle

Deserves respect #15

Vote for Carson Palmer 35) Carson Palmer

since 2001 carson is in the elite group of quaterbacks like manning and brady obviously the best two. No one has a better long ball completion percentange his qb rateing is in the top three since then and hes been proven to be the model pocket queaterback out there just ask any nfl anyalyst or any qb coach in the nfl i dont see how hes being this disrespected to have vince young over him that baffels me!!!!

Vote for Vinny Testaverde 36) Vinny Testaverde

he is in the top 25 in yards, touchdowns, games, and has been around forever. he was signed by Carolina on Thursday and got a win for them on Sunday at the age of 45, wow, he has the stats, and is still a great quarterback.
