I honestly have Otto Graham as the best QB to my mind, period. Winning matters. Winning championships matters. That guy won. A lot. EDIT - and it's not like he can't pass the ball. He still leads the NFL is career passing yards per attempt at 9 yards a toss. That's basically a first down every time he throws a ball.

I vote Montana.
I think Brady is worthy of contention but the scandals leave a bad taste. |

It's weird. I'm not in any way, shape or form a Patriots fan, but the scandals absolutely do nothing to tarnish Brady's legacy in my mind.
As a point of reference, despite being a huge Giants fan, Barry Bonds and his steroids leave a larger taint in my mind than Brady's (or the Patriots') "cheating." |

Hell, you could point to a bunch of crap. Rahim Moore having a brain fart causes the Broncos to lose to the Ravens, so Manning is a choker. I think the last time I looked it up the Patriots defense was, on average, 10 places better in total yards and a full TD better than the Indy Manning defense was. The year Manning won it? Sanders came back from injury and the Colts defense peaked at the perfect time. The Pittsburgh loss a lot of people want to talk about. . . Manning threw for 290 yards and 0 int's against a team that gave up an average of 284 yards of TOTAL offense the entire year. That overrated wild card went on to win the Super Bowl. But, onto the debate. Two ways to look at it from my perspective. Which QB based on the system they played in and their results? My choice would be Montana. A QB who could play in any system, any era and be a star? I'm biased as hell. I'd go Elway. |
