It's amazing how some of these names keep showing up. I don't remember Warren Moon quarterbacking the Seahawks, and he was apparently there for at least two years.

I do fondly remember the Craig Whelihan era in San Diego, though. Good times.

Pretty easy-breezy in this one.

I wonder how Tampa Bay will be looked at 10 years from now.

I briefly debated San Diego versus Seattle. Seattle's been pretty good about having a solid guy under center over the years, but in the end I think Fouts and Rivers trump Hasselback and Krieg at the top of the list.

If a Tampa fan says that Winston has a chance to be Tampa's best-ever quarterback, well....yeah, probably.
