Best QB ever in pro football

[honey]

Who would you pick to be the best QB? Not just current or recent past quarterbacks, but in all time? I have a few, but cannot actually pick the best.

Some of my faves:

Johnny Unitas
Joe Namath
Terry Bradshaw
Jim Kelly
Joe Montana
John Elway
Brett Favre

And so many more were good, too.

Montana and Elway

If I had to pick, I would also say Joe Montana was the best. Watching him play was almost eye-candy.

I loved Montana's ability on the field, but I loved Elways ability and personality.

My cousin, who used to live in California, once brought Elway to dinner at my aunt and uncle's house. I guess he was a really nice guy, and Aunt Alice and Uncle Bill were Denver fans ever after.

Otto Graham, if win-loss means anything. Just check out his staus in regard to this.

After all, isn't that what the game is played for?

I don't think it's necessarily just win/loss records. I think it has to do with how they inspired their teams and went on to greatness.

Tom Brady. Period.

Favre had both, too! I love a QB that can laugh things off like they just love playing the game and are enjoying the game, and don't pass the blame when something goes wrong...like Brady, Bledsoe, Aikman...etc.

I watched something on ESPN or some sports channel about the pre-game before the Pack went against the Broncos, and Favre was making fun of the way Elway walked. I guess Elway showed him in that game, huh?

Montana. Others have suggested Unitas and Graham, but they're too before my era to make an informed opinion.

I loved Montana! I remember the Superbowl where they were playing the Broncos and one guy on the Broncos team said "Unbelievable." while watching Montana's passes and the way the entire team worked togeter. He was awesome!
