Who's the best NFL quarterback?

[rumguy]

I say Brett Favre.

[Jack_Dawson]

1. Favre peaked 5 years ago - Definitely Tom Brady

[SeanQuinn]

2. T. Brady--- also Super Bowl MVP

:)

[rumguy]

3. how would you compare Favre at his peak to Brady?

[ProudGerman]

4. Brady hasn't peaked yet

Though his perfomance in his last Super Bowl was nothing short of phenominal.

That being said, Favre at his peak is one of the greatest ever. His only real detraction is that he's a hot head and sometimes doesn't think things through. Though his arm is one of the best the game has ever seen, didn't he once break his reciever's hand with a pass before?

5. Daunte Culpepper.

Run and Gun....just like Favre.

"Fast and Furious"....

Can "level" a LB at full speed.

on edit: Okay, so he's been a bit inconsistent for the past couple of years...so what?

[Terwilliger]

6. Manning is pretty good

as is Vick

[TheMightyFavog]

7. Are we talking right now, or ever?

Best QB right now: Tom Brady

Best QB ever: Joe fucking Montana!

[devilgrrl]

12. Best in the past 20 years... Dan Marino

Just because he didn't win the super Bowl (Fah-HA-Ha! The Dolphins SUCK!!!!) doesn't mean he wasn't one of the greatest ever, he's right up there with Montana.

[Sandpiper]

8. Two for different reasons

Peyton Manning has the best physical skills.

Tom Brady has the best intangibles.

[rumguy]

9. what do you mean by intangibles?

[EXE619K]

10. perhaps...

habit of showing up at Bush's SOTU address?

[rumguy]

11. yeah what was he doing there anyway?

I know he's a friend of Kerry.

[SeanQuinn]

13. Honored Guest of the POTUS

You can't really decline that. He was probably just there for Pelosi and Daschle's Opposition.

[Sandpiper]

22. Intangibles means

leadership ability and a knack for making the right decision at just the right time.

[maveric]

14. Michael Vick hands down!

The guy can throw and run. He's bright and is a proven leader.
And just think, the San Diego Chargers had in #1 draft pick and traded him away to Atlanta.

[kevinam]

25. I agree.

Okay, I will admitt, I am hugely biased. I am a long suffering Atlanta Falcons fan. But I will throw it out there anyway. Sure, at this point, Vick has much to prove. At times, from what I have seen and that is all of his pro games. He has an arm, as strong as anyone. He has a release as quick as the best. His accuracy can be incredible. If memory serves me correct. The 2002 season, in a game against Pittsburgh, in the fourth quarter, Vick kept drives alive with 3 first down completions on 3rd and +20 yards. Also, the guy has the drive and modesty to work his butt off to be the best. Oh yea, I didn't mention his scramble, or escape-ability. The dude has been dead to rights, so many times, and he just hits the jets. His first regular season game, in 2003 after a long lay off because of a broken leg, he still out-ran guys. Vick is an incredible athlete, and striving to be the BEST QB EVER. I think he will acheive his goals, and will go down as one of the greatests QB's in the NFL. Again, though, I should say, I am a Falcons guy...Kevin.

15. Her Nane Was Darlene

She won the first half, I won the second and dammed if she coulsn't call the play to the second....

[1a2b3c]

16. Right now at this moment in time....Favre

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

17. Len Dawson, Bart Starr, Joe Namath, Johnny Unitas....

and of those names ring a bell?

[rumguy]

18. I met Unitas once...that man had big hands...

[maveric]

19. If want QBs past then IMO John Elway was the best.

He brought his team to 5 SBs (losing 3).
If i had to choose one to take my team downfield under 2 minutes with the game on the line, he'd be my choice.

[ProudGerman]

28. Slight correction

Terrel Davis took that team to two of those super bowls, though Elway was the deciding factor in the last one.

Let's not forget who handed John Elway and his team their ass on a platter in Super Bowl 24. Montana owns the Super Bowl. 4 wins in 4 chances, and 3 MVP's.

[Edge]

20. Brett Favre is a washed-up has been.

I have to go with the Pro Bowler Daunte Culpepper.

[JackDragna]

24. Said like a true Vikings fan.

Uh, dunno if you paid attention, but Favre had a hell of a season.

[CShine]

21. Surprised to see no mention of Steve McNair.

[sasquatch]

23. Greatest of all time is Otto Graham as of right now

I'd have to go with Donovan McNabb. If he had recievers that were any good he'd be in the big show.

[opiate69]

26. By this time next year...

... I'm wagering the consensus will be Matt Hasselback... that is, if the national media can get past their east-coast bias.

[Ridley Park 704]

27. Donovan McNabb is one of the great quarterbacks, IMO

Donovan took the Eagles to the NFC Championship for the third consecutive year!!!!!!!! He set a record for rushing in a playoff game.

Brett Favre is great too, IMO, but remember McNabb beat the Packers in the playoffs this year, which proves a lot, and Tom Brady did not take the Patriots to the AFC championship for 3 consecutive years.

(PS, Mike Malloy had choice words for Tom Brady, calling him a right wing stooge for Bush. Mike hopes the Patriots find doom today)

[Awsi Dooger]

29. Jay Fiedler

Proof: no playoff interceptions in years

[Seldona]

30. Vote Favre here too.

There is more to the greatest qb than stats imo.

Favre is a class act all the way.

[Dees]

31. George Plimpton................n/t
