Best QB in the NFL ?

[Greenlawler]

My Top Ten:

Of all time not any specific stretch (that list would be different)

1. Peyton Manning ughhhh (Never has a quaterback impacted the game as Peyton has even the other greats did not have the impact Peyton does. Even when Harrison is down Manning is scarey)
2. Bart Starr
3. Johnny Unitas
4. Joe Montana
5. Dan Marino
6. Bret Favre (3 time MVP)
7. Joe Montana
8. Tom Brady (who are his WR's)
9. Y.A. Tittle
10. Ken Stabler
The obvious ommisions:
No offense to Steeler fans Bradshaw was awesome but come on, I would pile up numbers with Stallworth, Harris, Swan, and the others.
The same holds true with Staubach.
Nameth did not have enough years of good football.

There's a guy who used to wear #13 in South Florida who might disagree with you.

With the exception of Duper and Clayton, he spent most of his career throwing to no name or past their prime receivers, with NO running game, and still was almost unstoppable.

Current top quarterback : Manning is out of his prime so it's a toss up between him, Warner and Rothisberger.

All time :

1 - Elway
2 - Farve
3 - Starr
4 - Unitas
5 - Montana
6 - Young
7 - Marino
8 - Staubach
9 - Bradshaw
10 - Stabler

Please forgive me but I have questions for most- please understand I am not disparaging your choices, nor am I promoting my own, I just have questions-
Thanks to all who have replied thus far.

Right now- Top 10:
Namath,Montana,Bradshaw,Staubach
Pastorini
Farve
Roman Gabriel
John Unitas
Marino
Richard Todd

Pastorini - I think I should know him but I am unaware any enlightenment & why he is one of your all time greats ? Same for Roman Gabriel (cool name though) ?
Richard Todd ?? really. I liked todd, but of all time ?? Really ??

Who is the best QB now?
My Top 10:
...
9.Jim Kelly
10. Peyton Manning

Jim Kelly ? #9. very interesting. Suprising.
Is it a stat thing or is it a personal thing ?

My top ten? I think I'll skip that one. My top ten would probably be a little top heavy with 80's and 90's backs.

I wish you had listed. I was curios to begin with.

Top 10: Since I've only been watching football for about the past decade, I don't think it'd be fair for me to do a fair, honest ranking.

Again, nothing wrong with you picking who you have watched or respected.
It was part of the point of this post.
Same goes for Kakn7294 (oh I hope I got that right).
Kathy, there is nothing wrong with whom you were to choose (even if it were steeler heavy)

Montanna twice ?
Yes Bradshaw had excellent people around him, but I seriosly doubt that you "would pile up the numbers" with that crew.
And I understand about namath.
Oh and I always like Ken Stabler
