(1) Brady: I already thought he was the best, but last night's 4th superbowl victory solidifies it.
(2) Montana: Close 2nd, but officially a second
(3) Elway: Earlier in his career he might have gone down the same road as Manning in being dogged for lack of post-season success, but the back-to-back superbowl victories solidified his spot. The comeback King was amazing.
(4) Manning: He has been dogged in a similar way as Mariano, yet Manning has done fairly well in the playoffs during his career and even had a superbowl victory. Yet his post-season history puts him behind the other 3.
(5) Rodgers: I might be jumping the gun on him and he hasn't quite earned this spot yet, but the kid will get here mark my words. Heck it should have been the Packs in the SB this year. You can't blame that loss on him.
(6) Young: Had big shoes to fill and he did it. Won the big game and put up some big numbers.
(7) Mariano: He was the king of the regular season, but lack of post-season success still dogs him.
(8) Bradshaw: 4 SB rings yes, but as good as the rest on the list nope.
(9) Farve: The gun-slinger had an amazing arm and there is something to be said for the iron-man of the position. However, his INT and many times poor decision knocks him down the list.
(10) Unitas: I will admit I have a bias against the old time players. Guys now-a-days are bigger, faster, stronger and better prepared for the game. I think many so-called legends would have been middle of the road today and some legends would have found great success. I think Unitas would have found success. I put Starr and Staubech in the camp with the players that would have struggled!
