    This should be good for a few arguments.

    He mentioned Tebow at the end of the column. He's No. 705.

    More worthy of an argument: Clark Judge's column (linked to the left) in which he argues Johnny Unitas and Otto Graham are the two best QBs of all time.

    I agree with Rodgers at No. 1.

    I think Gronkowski is too high at No. 10.

    I think Patrick Willis is too low at No. 13.

    I think Joe Thomas is too low at No. 23.

    I'm sure Polamalu at No. 39 is going to get a reaction.

    Von Miller should be a lot higher than No. 77.

    Cam Newton should be higher than No. 83.

    Even as someone who worships at the feet of Joe Montana, I wouldn't argue him being behind those two...

    I also like any top 10 list that doesn't include Lord Favre.

    The problem is, Judge's arguments are asinine. I'm sure a compelling case can be made for having those two at 1 and 2. He didn't make it. Instead, he relied on the tired "I saw him play" argument for Unitas, and the "only championships matter" ploy throughout. I know people hate Brett Favre, but there's simply no reasonable argument to be made for putting Terry Bradshaw above him.

    I'd have him in there over Romo.

    The #1 defense in the NFL in both scoring and yardage has its first player listed at 39 and only one in the top 79.

    They must be doing something right with all of these average players.
