Quarterbackery: Round 2, Heat 2

[jjchieffan]

Gotta go with Indy, though Green Bay is a very close second. Johnny Unitas top 3 QB of all time, then Manning forever. Top 10 QB. Now Luck, who could well end up being one of the best too. That edges out Green Bay, but just barely. Bart Starr, Brett Favre, nor Rodgers. Those 2 teams should not be facing each other this early. They have been extremely blessed in the QB department. KC wasn't going to make it far anyway, but this is a murderers row. And for those if you both g for Dallas, wow. I thought people on this board knew football. Stabach was one of the greats for sure. But Aikman was nothing but a product of a great system that looked good behind a monster offensive line chucking it up to Irving and handing off to Smith. Alex Smith would've been a hall of fame in his shoes! Romo is certainly not as good as the guys at Green Bay and Indy. I don't see it. How is Dallas currently leading?

We'll get it out of the way fast, but yeah, KC is the weakest in this group and it's not even close.

When I look at the strongest, I think about the following:

How many years of Hall of Fame caliber play?
How many years of good play?
How many years of adequate play?
How many years of QB hell?

I look at Dallas and I see this:

20 Hof/11 good/9 okay/10 hell

I look at GB and I see this:

28 Hof/0 good/11 okay/11 hell

I look at Indy and I see this:

17 Hof/12 good/8 okay/13 hell


All HoF isn't equal, of course. Indy has the best HoFers but not as many. Dallas' are probably the weakest, but they had some really good QBs who weren't HoFers.

I voted for Dallas, but as I look, I can see a good argument for Green Bay. It's close.

I guess that since Aikman was inducted into the HOF, that his years are considered HOF. But I disagree. He was mediocre and didn't deserve it. Therefore, Dallas ranks lower in my opinion.

I would definitely call him a lower-tier Hall of Famer.

I dunno. Maybe I should've gone with Green Bay. Maybe we should do a year by year comparison.
