1. Elway- The dude bordered on the supernatural sometimes. 2 minutes left, the Broncos down by 5, they have to drive 80 yards with no timeouts....you just knew he was going to do it. All you could do was hold your breath. And he did it (except for the final years) with no running game.
2. Marino. This guy could would pick opposing defenses apart in his sleep. And his quick release meant he rarely got sacked.
3. Farve. This guy's a throwback. Put him back in the 50's and 60's and watch the fireworks between him and Unitas. Best pure quarterback in the game today, despite his age.
4. Montana. Yeah, he won so many superbowls, and did so much...Crap. I might be alone in thinking this, but I think Montana was maybe the most overated QB ever. He played on an unbeatable squad, had an awesome rushing attack to back him up, and threw the ball to THE best WR to ever play in Rice. I have heard some go so far as to say that Montana "made" Jerry Rice a star. I think it's the opposite.
And here's a name we haven't heard yet....
5. Bernie Kosar. Tough as beaten leather. Would play with dislocated fingers and broken ribs.
Had a hard time keeping Cunningham off this list. He set the stage for a new generation of QBs like McNabb, Vick, and McNair.
