Aaron Rogers not on the list?? Peyton Manning, too.
This may be flame worthy but I loved Jim mcman he was just fun to watch and what a year that was nfl has gone kaput since I barly watch super bowl is about it would love to have a so cal team again
Namath deserves to be called one of the best. You can only really gauge a player in the era that they played. Namath was the dominant QB in the NFL in ‘69 and the AFL in ‘68 and won a SB in the bargain. Nobody get a ring for stats.
Nice list. F. Tark started at QB in 3 SB’s tho I do believe. Good to see Otto G. in there. A lot of the lists these days overlook him.
A lot of those guys were system QBs. They didn’t throw the ball 15 - 20 times per game in a lot of Joe’s era.
>>19. Donovan McNabb (5 NFC championship appearances, 5 pro bowls, and one of the greatest scramblers of all time)
Dude, this is just idiotic. McNabb wasn’t a top 20 QB during the time he played. He’s not a top 200 all time.
I wouldn't have McNabb in my top fifty.
