Your top 10 quarterbacks of all time

Art Skippper of Sandy, Oregon holds the national high school record in the javelin at 259-10 set in 1988. Bradshaw set the record at 243-7 in 1966.
It was broken a year later by Mark Murro of Essex Catholilc in Newark NJ at 252-8.

 

Because I like numbers, through two pages the top 10 vote getters are:
1. Montana
Manning
3. Marino
Elway
Unitas
6. Baugh
Staubach
8. Graham
Starr
Brady


Eight others have official votes.
Notable HOfers with no votes:
Griese
Luckman (though, he has been mentioned as an honorable mention)
Namath
Len Dawson

 

Luckman should have SOMEBODY's vote, first T-formation QB and all. The other three are deserving Hall of Famers, but not top 10 fodder. Did somebody vote for Fouts? He's another Hall guy.

 

Montana
Manning
Baugh
Unitas
Graham
Fouts
Marino
Starr
Staubach (and I hate the Cowboys)
Favre

Numbers do not mean that much to me, comparing eras, I do not doubt that Unitas, Graham and Staubach could get the same numbers as Kurt Warner.

Super Bowls? Yes its the penultimate game but still only one game. I saw Bradshaw have some very mediocre games in his career. He lost his job one year to Joe Gilliam then got it back because Gilliam got injured. IMHO the Steelers were driven by the Steel Curtain and Franco not Bradshaw (Gerela seemed pretty clutch as well.)

Correction, Elway for Fouts. I loved Fouts' teams and how he threw but not enough. Simply forgot Elway.

 

Nothing for Fouts, which I should have noted earlier.
Not to threadjack, but here is my list for 10 qbs not in the hall, but eligible

Ken Anderson
Roman Gabriel
Ken Stabler
John Brodie
Jim Hart
Darryl Lamonica
Boomer Esiason
Frank Ryan
Don Meredith
Tobin Rote

 

1. Joe Montana
2. Otto Graham (10 seasons, 10 title games, enough said)
3. Peyton Manning
4. Johnny Unitas
5. Dan Marino
6. John Elway
7. Brett Favre
8. Tom Brady
9. Terry Bradshaw
10. Roger Staubach

Just Missed: Dan Fouts, Warren Moon, Bart Starr, Steve Young

 

Dear Triple Option: You properly cited Graham's record reaching title games. Starr has five NFL titles in six tries. That's more than anybody else I think. Maybe Luckman had five, but I think it's four. I believe he and Staubach are the most underrated great QBs ever, weird as that concept is.

 

Montana
Unitas
Manning
Marino
Graham
Brady
Jurgensen
Bradshaw
Elway
Favre

Just missed:
Staubach
Baugh
Starr
Fouts
Moon

 

I stand corrected. Thanks spnited. I've heard stories about how good Bradshaw was in high school. From all reports, he was a stud on the field.

 

Then why La Tech?

 

Is that supposed to be in blue font?

 

From what I was told, he was a stud on the field, not in the classroom.
