The Top-10 Signal-Callers of All Time are...
The crew at Gridiron Grumblings Live! recently had a discussion on whether or not Brett Favre was
one of the top five quarterbacks of all time. The consensus was that he
wasn't... but that leads to the overall question: who are the Top 10
QBs of all time?
For purposes of this discussion, we'll consider
statistical accomplishments, leadership, contemporary dominance and, of
course, the ability to win.
Having set the ground rules, here's my top 10 QBs of all time:
1. Joe Montana (1979-1994) - Career Stats: 3409-5391-40551, 243 TD, 139 INT, 92.3 QB Rating.
Montana boasts an impressive career passer rating, but that's not the
reason he tops the list. Joe Cool tops the list thanks to his
unflappable demeanor, his ability to inspire his teammates to perform
beyong their ability, and of
course... being a winner. Beginning with his unbelievable comeback
victory for the Fighting Irish in his final college game (the Cotton
Bowl)-- where he received IV fluids during halftime in order to just be
able to play in the second half-- to his three Super Bowl wins (and MVP
awards), Montana was a tremendous leader.
