Best QB ever?

[sedated]

Settle an argument.

Who is the best QB ever?

What more important? Stats vs. Rings

Montana
Marino
Manning
Brady
Young
Aikman
Unitas
Starr
Favre
Bradshaw
Namath
Staubach
Theisman
(forgive me, planet) Elway
Kelly
(for the fan)Warner

Who am I forgetting?

You must feels so proud of that one playoff win. That's SO MUCH to hang your hat on. DENVER > KANSAS CITY!!! UNTIL THE END OF TIME!

It's more than just the one playoff win, tard. KC has had so many more disappointing regular season outcomes than Denver since 1998. It's more than just that 1 win...

Again, I'm not wasting much time typing to you b/c it's a wasted exercise.

Since 1998 we have 4 playoff wins.

I feel the same way. Oh well, whatever. Eventually the Chiefs WILL win a Super Bowl, and then you'll have MORE bullshit for us.

I love how everyone throws it in Marino's face he never got a ring. Everyone of you would kill to have him on your team. He was the best of his generation-he owns every record-and if not for a leg injury-he would have put the records up there where even Brett couldn't touch them.

Wow-do you feel better now??

I think Marino was greatness, but he's not in my top 3... he's 4.

He doesn't own most WINS...which is the bottom line.

Manning is real, real good, no doubt about that but I'd still rather have Montana.

Or maybe Peyton is that good and makes the other players play better.. The guy is called the Field Marshall for a reason, his passes are money and the whole laser rocket arm thing...

The nut of it is, take the consensus best 5 ever and there are always 2 names at the top... Elway & Montana, either order.

It's fun bar talk though.

Then there is the stats of Elway before and with Terrel Davis... Look at his TD/INT ratio with TD carrying that team and then before..
Honestly though Elway is a great QB, especially agianst the Chiefs..



Or maybe he is just a system QB from the Denver Oline scheme...

Anyway, if it were someone other than you, I'd play this game... but, I'm wasting time with you.

Fatass wasn't even living in America during that time, nor did he even know what football was then, yet he likes to talk like he knows something about that era.

Remember man, consider the source.

Wow, you've got to put your bias aside - Yes Elway is one of the best ever, but not THE best ever. When people say Joe Montana had the best team because of the salary cap thing is totally bogus, the only Ring they ever paid for was the one Steve Young won against San Diego. Jerry Rice aside, who else on that team was the best at their position during his career by the way? What, Roger Craig? Please dude, you've got to come stronger than that.

You got to come alot stronger than that, quoting one game where Montana carried his team, while Elway carried the Broncos for multiple seasons.

Take a look at the 49er's rosters from the Montana years, there wasn't a more talented and complete team in the NFL. Just for kicks, let's assume that you are the GM of the 49er's in their dynasty years, and you have the choice of having John Elway or Joe Montana...who would you pick?


...thought so.

Well, I point to the coaching change rather than the RB.

Elway's numbers were always good, but they took off after Reeves left.
