POLL Is Aaron Rodgers a TOP 20 quarterback all-time?

[knowyourenemy]

This brings up my favorite NFL trivia question. No fair looking it up:

One school has produced 5 QBs who started in the Super Bowl. Name it, and the five. Bonus points: 3 other schools have produced 3 SB starting QBs...name those 9.

Hint: the school with 5 is not a perennial college powerhouse. The schools with 3 are (more or less, one isn't really anymore).

Is Boston College one of the schools?

It's hard to rank QBs from today's game, then try to compare with QB greats of previous eras, then try to place them all in the same mix and come up with a proper ranking. All I can say is as a Bears fan who has watched Rodgers own my boys way too many times, as well as how he's played his entire career against all other teams, he is without question deserving of top 10 all time consideration. But if that's too subjective as to where he should be ranked, then at least we can all agree that his being named to the HOF will be an absolute no-brainer.

All time great lists are almost completely subjective

It's impossible. It's 100% subjective opinion which is virtually worthless.

The bottom line is we all firmly believe in our opinion but no one gives a shit about our opinion.

I do. Just not very much.

No, decent guess, they have two: Hasselback and Ryan

Yeah, before he told me I had no idea where Aaron Rodgers went to college. Thankfully I have you guys around to teach me these things.

 

[msgkings322]

Comparing different eras is a waste of time....

But it's a fun waste of time. Like sports in general.

Alabama?

Alabama had 3, yes. Can you name them?

Stabler

First two are easy, Namath & Stabler, not sure the 3rd....how about Notre Dame? Montana, Theisman & Lamonica

...and it's fun because we're all right and it's extremely important that we help others to know the truth.

MLK Day has certainly got you in a mellow mood.

All correct. Bart Starr is the third Bama QB

 

[msgkings322]

All that's left is that third college with 3

Speaking of N.D. players did you know Paul Hornung won the '56 Heisman for leading the Irish to an incredible 2-8 record?

Dammit, Luck never played in a Super Bowl
