Top Five QBs of the Past 25 Years

[DG: Brewer & Redskins fan]

My bad. I thought twenty five years ago was longer... Montana, Marino, Elway, Farve, and Kelly are the easy ones. However, if you're looking a QB who worked well with what they had and played within himself, I agree with the Simms suggestion. I hated seeing the Giants pull out games out of their... Hearing his commentary is much more distracting than Aikman's. But he was effective. Young should be in the HOF, next year.

Yeah I had a hard time keeping Simms out of the top 5, he's probably no. 6 for me. I'm anxious to see how his son does in the pros. I think Chris might have the better arm but not the smarts

If Art monk isn't getting in as of now, there's no way Young deserves to be there.

how can anyone even compare what brady has done to jake delhomme?!?! I guess 2 sb mvp's in 3 years doesn't account for what they used too, lol.

My list goes as follows:

Marino: never been a better arm than his in the history of the league and he did everything in his career without a solid running game.
Montana: His accomplishments speak volumes about his leadership and skill no matter how saturated the 49ers were with offensive talent.
Aikman: Hated how well he played but there have been very few qbs to have been as accurate of a passer as he was and winning 3 SBs(mother @%!#*$) is huge on his resume.
Here's a curveball for ya, Fran Tarkenton: Made more defensive players go bald from ripping out their hair than anyone in league history except for Barry Sanders. He was a 9 time pro-bowler and was in the top ten in passing completions and yardage 17 seasons of his 18 year career and in the top 10 passing tds in 16 of those years. in all-time nfl history he's 4th in pass attempts, 5th in completions, 4th in yards, and 3rd in TD's. yes he didn't have much postseason success or attempts but his statistics warrant him being considered in this conversation.
and finally elway: while I still don't get how he's in the conversation as a lot of people's choice for the best all time qb, he was a hell of a field general especially during crunch time. But if Terrel Davis hadn't come along I think he'd be around 8 or 9.
