POLL Who Is the Greatest Quarterback of All Time?

[LogicMan]

I mean the guy has/will go to probably 8 or 9 super bowls. ESPN stated he is more iconic than Jordan

Players shouldnt get credit for putting teams in 28-3 holes

Just putting them right where he wanted them.

Marino's teams were poorly constructed, not his fault. Mediocre running games and defenses (and often, that was being kind).

How many other QBs on this list were playing in the Super Bowl in their rookie season (as the full season starter at QB)?

Agree about Marino, those defenses were anywhere from bad to awful and they had a crappy running game. Marino had to carry that team all too often and can't win a Super Bowl with that kind of defense. The 1984 49er team was overall much better than that Miami team, especially on defense. The 49er defenses those years weren't the level of NY Giants or Chicago Bears but they were pretty good

I believe Montana had a quote like that in the huddle before the John Taylor drive against the Bengals

Was that the same huddle that he pointed out John Candy in the stands?

I believe the Candy quote was from an earlier SB, but I could be wrong for the first time today

Future MI HC headed for a showdown w Pats org?

Johnny Unitas because Joe Namath wasn't an option,

5 in 7 years, actually. Bart Starr played his entire career prior to the rule changes of 1978 yet still has the highest playoff passer rating ever. 9-1 playoff record. He gets my vote.

This is why I believe he is the GOAT. He played in an era where the defense had the rules advantage but still excelled.

Joe was a champion at getting pussy.

The only gripe I have with Marino is he insisted his OL concentrated almost solely on pass protection.
I think he was part of the reason they couldn't run for shit.

It's all about the bling.

1. Brady
2. Montana

But I think Montana was the best QB coming from behind with 1 minute on the clock.

... to do what?

Marino is the most talented.

Very one-dimensional. Couldn't do anything with his legs.

Great arm-talent. Ran like a slug.

I am being kinda mean to Marino today. Maybe I should have had more coffee.

That is a very flawed analogy.

No it's the only correct analogy. Saying an athlete has made it to the Olympic finals 4 times and won 4 gold vs an athlete who has made it to the finals 7 times and 5 gold and 2 silver on the podium
