The Best Quarterbacks of All Time at 3/03/2012 5:32 AM

Jim Hart, Bernie Kosar, Ken Anderson, Joe Theismann, Archie Manning, Steve Bartkowski, Dave Kreig and maybe even Don Meredith are names I would have considered over many of these. Lamonica was probably even a better Raiders QB than Stabler. Kenny just fit the Raiders image more.

Michael Vick at 2/06/2012 3:28 PM

How Can Michael Vick even be considered on this list. He was out of the game for 3 seasons, he's incredibly injury prone and he's never even made it to a super bowl let alone won it. Yet Eli has 2 Championships but gets put behind a string of mediocre QBs once again. It'll never end

Donovan McNabb at 2/05/2012 9:01 PM

How can Donovan McBad be on the list? he shouldn't even be in a top 100 list. The same goes for Doug Williams. With these two guys on the list, you might as well have Trent Dilfer :)

The Best Quarterbacks of All Time at 12/06/2011 9:42 PM

Peyton Manning is the best QB hands down nobody studies the game harder than peyton he can break down any defense he does his homewrk and could pick any defensive scheme he is a 4x NFL MVP and a superbowl champ you can say what you want but peyton never had the offensive line or the weapons that some of these qbs had he makes wide recievers that are rookies into pro bowlers and his oline except for jeff saturday has always been below average give him an oline like tom brady and he could have won multiple rings but in my opinion peytons ability to study defenses and the desire to get better seprates him from everybody else

The Best Quarterbacks of All Time at 10/26/2011 11:38 AM

Montana won a national title at Notre Dame his 1st year as starting QB, Montana won a Super Bowl his 1st year as starting Qb, and he also took the K.City Chiefs to the championship game against Buffalo his first year in the AFC. Had he not been knocked out of the game with a concussion Im sure the would have a fifth Super Bowl ring. He is a winner and a champion, true and through. Weapons or no weapons he gets it done in cool fashion, hence 1981-1984. Simply the best.
Jared
Joe Montana at 10/26/2011 11:31 AM

Montana won the big games everywhere he played. Notre Dame, San Francisco and then later K.city, if not been taken out of game early with concussion , Im sure the lowly Chiefs of year past now under the tutelage of Montana would have been Super Bowl champs.. Hes a winner and a true champion and thats why he is #1.

The Best Quarterbacks of All Time at 8/03/2011 8:38 AM

Fail list.. Marino in 4th?? So the guy with most of the individual records prior to Favre playing 40 years gets 4th place JUST because he didn't get a ring?? you've got to be kidding me.

Then you go and place Brady ahead of Favre too... Mediocre list.. didn't bother to look at the rest.

  It's a crowdranked list...meaning it's based on what other Ranker users voted and listed as the best quarterbacks of all time. If you don't agree with the ranking of this list make a contributing list so that your list will be factored into the overall crowdranked list.
