Dylan's Top 5 All-time NFL QBs

By Dylan Webster
Not long after the forward pass was introduced to the NFL, fans began to debate who was the best. The position has always required intelligence, athletic ability and leadership. Along with these qualities, and likely the most important, is the "intangible" characteristic: being a Winner. Scouts cannot judge it at the combine. Nor does it show up in IQ tests or hair color. Being a Winner is truly intangible, and of the utmost importance. This having been said, let the debating rage on.

Joe Montana - Epitomizes the intangibles. Critics said he possessed a weak arm and was undersized. Four Super Bowls and several all-time records later he is generally accepted as the all-time best.

John Elway - Leads all QB's in career wins. He led his Broncos to five Super Bowl appearances and two victories.

Terry Bradshaw - While posting rather ordinary career numbers, Bradshaw possessed a cannon arm and the ability to shine on the NFL's largest stage. Matched only by Montana with four Super Bowl victories.

Troy Aikman - Statistically very similar to Bradshaw. However, he owns three title rings of his own. He did what was asked of him, and was smart enough to keep handing the ball to Emmit Smith.

Bret Favre - Has only one Super Bowl win, but still plays with the look of a ten year old child in his eyes. He also will likely own many of Dan Marino's records. Along with being a winner, he has been a joy to watch.

Dan Marino owns most of the career passing records, but never won a title. Others deserving special mention are Johnny Unitas and Bart Starr. Both were proven winners without gaudy numbers.

This is merely one person's opinion, and that is why the topic is so much fun to debate.
