The rest is too jumbled...marino, tarkenton, young, bradshaw, etc. Not counting current guys like brady, manning, and favre.

Bradshaw shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with those guys.
|
Well, he won 4 Super Bowls.
|
So did every other player on the Steelers, are they all top 5 at their position too?
Quarterbacks get way too much credit/blame. Bradshaw wasn't very good.
Conversely, Barry Sanders never won anything important, is he not a top 5 back? It's a double standard.

The vast majority of people that do see his super bowl wins and nothing else. Just like when people say Namath is one of the greatest QBs of all time(I don't think he should even be in the HOF), it is only because of his guarantee. I wouldn't have Bradshaw even in the top 20 all time qbs.

I'm just stating the fact that he won those games. Although he wasn't that great the wins really propel him to that level.

Bradshaw was a good Quarterback. He wouldn't be in my Top 10 mind you. Oh and btw, The Steelers DEFENSE won 4 Super Bowls!

Just look at the stats for both Favre and Starr. Look at the players around each of them. Favre has never had a HOFer on offense, yet he is about to break all of Marino's records.
Staubach doesn't compare to Favre or Elway. Both Favre and Elway carried their teams with almost no GREAT players on either team(they each had the Sharpe brothers, the only players on either offense I would consider great)

an opinion is neither wrong or right.

Sometimes it is. Napoleon thought it would be a good idea to invade Russia. He was wrong.

Well, Packer fans and the guy in your avatar. Steve Young just said he was THE best QB of all time. Now I wouldn't go that far, but he is generally considered a top 5 QB, at the very least, on the bubble.

Elway has to be above Bradshaw, he singlehandedly led his team to 3 super bowls. You've heard the saying, you cant make chardonnay out of ****? Well, he did.
So how about Doug Williams, is he a very good QB, he won a super bowl, one that he actually had a huge effect on. What about Trent Dilfer? The Steel Curtain won those super bowls. Winning Super Bowls does not a good QB make. Bart Starr won 3 straight NFL championships, two of them super bowls, but he doesn't deserve to be up there either.

Just a quick question, how old are you? I would say a freshman in high school or younger. You will learn quick that opinions can be wrong. If you are older than that, you must be quite sheltered.

Well, he could be top 5. He is top 10 on my list. Like i said, after 3, it gets jumbled.

An old favorite of mine is Sammy Baugh. One of the first scrambling QBs in football. Archie Manning aswell.

1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty
2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal.
Opinions are not wrong, especially with regards to top 5 qb's.
everybody has an opinion it it, and most people will have different qb's

Top 5:
1. Joe Montana
2. John Elway
3. Brett Favre
4. Dan Marino
5. Johnny Unitas
(not counting active players... Manning probably would crack this list when it's all said and done... maybe even Brady as well).

Favre is active, but I know what you mean. Players that still have quite a few years left. You see manning the same way that I do.

Aikman is just like Bradshaw, he had great players surrounding him. They both were great QBs, but neither deserve to be in a greatest QB ever discussion.
