All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
ESPN's Clayton : List of 15 greatest QB's in NFL history
Tom Brady is 4-2 in Super Bowls, with a chance at title No. 5 on Sunday. Joe Montana went 4-0 -- and never threw an interception in the NFL's biggest game. Who is the greatest QB of all time?
Re: ESPN's Clayton : List of 15 greatest QB's in NFL history
*sigh.
I remember at the end of Jimbo's career, thinking he had held on too long and probably should have retired a year or two before he did. What I wouldn't give to have seen him stick it out 2 or 3 more years....
Re: ESPN's Clayton : List of 15 greatest QB's in NFL history
13 is OK I guess...If it was me I'd put him top 10, but 13 is fair enough.

"You're not going to find a more classier, down-to-Earth person away from the field than Marv Levy. He's a guy who's pretty much made me what I am today as far as a professional player and a person."
***Jim Kelly***
I would put Kelly ahead of Young, Marino and definitely Starr, but he is the only guy on the list without an MVP or SB.
It's hard to compare once you start bouncing between eras, but I remember seeing Starr on the old black & white when I was a kid near the end of his career. He belongs, imho. They played a brutal game back then, in the weather with rushing oriented offense. Starr played 15 (to 37 years old) years in that era. Have to think in this one he could have played until he was 45.
Would have loved to see how a lot of those guys would have done with this gentler version of the game, prevalent domes, and pass happy offenses.
Anyway though, I love seeing Kelly in that company.
Re: ESPN's Clayton : List of 15 greatest QB's in NFL history
As a Pats fan I'd say Marino is one or two.
Marino put me through a lot of pain many years ago.
The NFL forgot the main component of any business model, the customer.

Being an old salt, I'd say Staubach was better than Kelly and a few others ahead of him. The king of the 2 minute drive to win games. Uber clutch. He was amazing to watch.

Re: ESPN's Clayton : List of 15 greatest QB's in NFL history
I am sorry, I know Brady has a **** load of rings and he is one of the greatest in history but I have to move Johny Unitas, Francis Tarkenton, Roger Staubach, Terry Bradshaw, and Bart Starr up. I have to put Unitas as the greatest of all time. There are two eras of pro football, before the 1958 NFL title game and after. Second, United would have over 100,000 yards if he enjoyed the pass protections of today and so would Tarkenton. If we played football by sixties and seventies rules on the other hand, Brady would be in bad trouble. Could you imagine Brady having to play the no name defense twice a year, and the Steel Curtain, and the Raider defense of the 1970s to get to the superbowl and then having to take on Doomsday I or II or the Purple People Eaters? Brady would have very pedestrian numbers.
