Greatest Quarterbacks Of All Time

Was the unequivocal leader of the Baltimore Colts, leading them to two NFL Championships. When he retired he held nearly every passing record in the books and was known as a field general who called his own plays in the huddle. His record of throwing a TD pass in 47 straight games still stands to this day.

"Joe Cool" is considered one of the winningest players in football history. He has a record tying four Super Bowl victories, and led or was near the top of every passing category for over ten years. Scouted as having too weak an arm for the NFL, Montana found success by becoming one of most accurate passers ever, setting records for completion percentage and passer rating.

For some reason the years have not been kind to Tark's legacy. In his day he was the considered the greatest ever, but the following years brought criticisms of his accuracy and his inability to win the Big One. Still, look at the numbers. He broke most of Unitas' records, all the while being the greatest runner in QB history. Tarkenton's ability to scramble, improvise and create plays where there were none was unmatched.

Some might argue that Brady's too high on this list considering he still has many years left to play but I disagree. In his short career The Golden Boy already has achieved more than most will in careers twice as long. He has three championships, orchestrating game winning drives in two of those games. Always poised and confident Brady is perfect off the field as well, being named GQ's Best Dressed Man of the Year and dating gorgeous Brazilian super models.

There's little question that Marino is the best pure QB on this list. At the time of his retirement he held every major passing record in the books and his cannon arm, laser release and gaudy numbers are the stuff of legends. Still, he falls to three for the one blemish that haunts his career: he never won a championship.

Highest lifetime Passer Rating. Best touchdown to interception ratio of the great QBs.

Played amazing football behind the worst lines in history. He made the flack jacket popular. If he had had some protection, he would have led the league in passing multiple times and won championships.
