John Elway (516)
Dave Krieg (494)
Cunningham (484)
Phil Simms (477)
Warren Moon (458)
Ken Anderson (398)
Archie Manning (396)
Drew Bledsoe (384) - highest: 55 in one year-NE
Jim Plunkett (380)

Someone mentioned getting Jeff George to come in as a FA, here are his numbers:

What you need to look at now in addition to those numbers:

1. TD to INT ratio
2. Sacks to Attempts ratio
3. Completion %

Sacks by themselves don't tell the whole story since a qb can "make up for it" by doing well in those 3 areas I listed above. I'd be willing to bet Drew is at or near the bottom in at least 2 of those 3 categories.

Also need to look at the length of their careers. Drew is in his 11th, but Elway played 15. If Drew averages 35 per year (his career avg) he will pass Elway with 524. But hey, at least he'll be #1 in something!
