Hey guys! Good posts so far. I can agree that all the quarterbacks mentioned above are excellent. However, I believe the greatest quarterback that I have ever seen is Joe Montana, who many refer to as "Joe Cool".

He didn't have a lot of the physical tools that a lot of other quarterbacks had, like the cannon arm, great speed, or a towering stature, but he had all the intangibles. Montana was a winner.

In his career, he had 31 fourth quarter come back victories. He won all 4 Superbowls that he went to. He won 3 Superbowl MVP's, more than any other player in NFL history.

In his Superbowl games, he completed 83-122 passes for 1,142 yards with 11 touchdowns and no interceptions. His QB rating was 127.8. He was unflappable under pressure.

Sure, he had great receivers, but so do many other QB's, the difference was in Joe's demeanor. He electrified the huddle when he entered it. His coolness was always present even in the roughest of situations. During a huddle in the 1989 Superbowl vs. the Bengals, with the 49'ers down by 3 and 3:20 on the clock Joe spotted something. Not something special about the defense, but rather he pointed to the stands and said "isn't that John Candy." Afterwards, he continued to lead the 49'ers 92 yards, throwing the winning touchdown with 34 seconds remaining.

So, some quarterbakcs I have seen are very good, but only one has been great and that was Joe Cool. His ability to win under pressure has been unparalleled over the past 20 years.
