Liked this but every ERA has it's stars. These covered a similar period in time.
Elway
Marino
Montana
Fouts
Kosar
Bradshaw
Kelly


and were filled in by Moon, Cunningham and Farve while some of those dropped out. Moon was literally black balled until nearly out of his prime or would also have been on that list.
Steve Young as well. And that was back when QBs got hit.

I got to see lots of Warren Moon. Would've been interesting to see his NFL career had he not spent 6 years in Edmonton.

I know many here are not going to like this, but it's very possible that Rodgers is the best out of that list. It's just crazy to think that he only has one Super Bowl.

Marino probably had better arm talent and he has zero.

Recency bias!

Just your daily reminder that other teams can find QBs and we are fans of the bears

About to have a lot of quarterbacks flood the Hall of Fame in the coming years, in a good way.

Brees already said he was done after this season
But he said after the game that he hasn’t made a decision yet and he would talk it over with his family

And these quarterbacks had a different set of rules that were actually favoring the defense.

Young was a little later but not much.

This guy was a legend. I’ll never forget his shouting match and ensuing humiliation of Jay Cutler. That’s probably my lasting memory of him as a QB, just constantly talking **** haha

It's really the end of an era. Rivers, Brees, Big Ben have to be done. I could see Brady retiring if he won the SB too.

No way Brady retires this season.

He is the best from a talent perspective, for sure.

In my opinion he's the most talented QB to ever play the sport.

Indy could be one to watch for the Watson trade. Great o-line, great RB, good WR's but TY looked done for most of the season but came on the last 4-5 games of the regular season but have M.Pittman so they would need to add a legit #1 WR, got some good TE's and have a good defense.

They aren't going to trade him in division. Plus with Watson Indy almost certainly wouldn't have a pick in the top 20 for several years.

Manning x 2
Brady
Brees
Rivers
Roethlisberger
Rodgers

We've been living through the absolute best period of quarterback play in the history of the NFL, and I don't think it'll ever be as deep of a group as it has been.

Eli Manning is not a great QB ....he is not even a good QB....his defense won those SBs.....and the WR that caught that fluky TD

They have Pittman Pascal and Paris....Paris was great before he got injured early this year
