OWENSVILLE,MO-When discussing who is the best quarterback in the history of the National Football League, there is much debate as to who it is since there is no clear front-runner. It is hard to compare players who never played against each other or even in the same era. Names like Dan Marino, Joe Montana, and John Elqay arise when this conversation begins, however, it is the newer age quarterbacks who have the statistical advantage. I compiled by top ten quarterbacks of all time based on stats.
1. Peyton
Manning
2. Tom Brady
3. Drew Brees
4. Brett Favre
5. Dan Marino
6. Fran
Tarkenton
7. Steve Young
8. Joe Montana
9. John Elway
10. Warren Moon
Peyton Manning pulles away as the
front runner on this list as he is second in almost category that passers are
judged on and with another year or two he will be the record holder in all of
these categories. With Drew Brees being three years younger, he could
eventually catch Manning and overtake him as the best quarterback of all time
since he has more yards per game and almost the same amount of touchdowns per
game. Out of the non active players, Favre is the best as at the time of his
retirement he lead in wins, games, yards, and touchdowns. The rest of the list
rounds out just about as you would expect it to. You may still have your own
opinion, but numbers never lie and according to these numbers, Peyton Manning
is the greatest of all-time and still going strong.
