Who is the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL?

Dan Marino

Warren Moon cause he beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl

Johnny Unitas

I think that Steve Young is the best quarterback because he led the 49ers to many super bowl titles

Brett Favre. He'll have all the records by the time he's done and he has a ring. To me you determine who's best by a combination of stats and winning. It's Favre.

The easy answer is Joe Montana because of all of the superbowl rings he has, but i believe that that is because of they system. Any QB that can do well under pressure would dominate in that revolutionary offense.
If you want to talk about a QB that revolutionized the position, not just the offense, its gotta be Johnny Unitas. Before him, the QB was dispensible and easily replaced and the Running Back was the focus of the offense. He made the QB position the star of the team and every QB nowadays should thank him for that.

Joe Montana - 4 superbowl wins - 3 superbowl MVPs (still a record)
If my team was in the superbowl tomorrow, I'd definately want Joe Cool in as quarterback. No one is better under pressure

It's worth noting that Steve Young only won one superbowl with the 49ers (94-95 season), not "lots" as previously mentioned. Though it was arguably the greatest superbowl ever played by a quarterback (something like 6 TDs I think)

Well.... Since the Colts won the super bowl i'm gonna have to go with Peyton Manning because who managed to played with that injured thumb during the super bowl man he's really good.

John Unitas, hands down. The man practically invented the two-minute drill, and his win in the 1958 championship game, the first-ever sudden death, sparked the whole league's popularity. He made Ray Berry, a small, slow WR, into a lethal weapon. And, there was nobody tougher! Joe Montana? Close, but no cigar. Put Johnny U in the same system, with the same teammates, and the league would have had to break them up or something -- Unitas had at least as much, if not more, of the smarts, accuracy and mobility that went into Montana's game, and a better arm.

Currently Tom Brady

All Time Brady again.

My choice: Unitas, Favre, Montanna, Peyton Manning!

I don't agree with Joe Montana as the greatest. He was the best for the system he played in, and that would be it. He has Super Bowl wins, and MVPs, but so does Terry Bradshaw, so that should never be used in support of Montana, or Brady for that matter. Sammy Baugh changed the passing game, and played both ways. He led the league in passing, punting, and interceptions in one season(1933). Otto Graham set records for completion percentage, and passer rating. He also set standards for winning. In his 7 NFL seasons, he went to the championship 5 times, winning 4. Johnny Unitas turned the passing game into what it is today. Any of these three would be a good choice.

Joe Montana....most of his success came before Jerry Rice..
Marino would be second..

MY BABY BRETT FAVRE!

GO PACKERS!!

tom brady by a long shot 13-2 playoffs, 3 superbowl rings,
and he doesnt even have or ever had a top 10 reciver. and all that team does is get rid of players. name one other team or QB who did that or could do that

Bart Starr or Johnny Unitas, they are both the best qb's in my opinion. Also John Elway was really good.

It's probably impossible to name a single best, but there are some true all time greats:
Johnny Unitas
Sammy Baugh
Joe Montana
Bart Starr
John Elway
Roman Gabriell
Brett Favre
This list could be very long!

It's too hard to narrow it down to one since many were good at certain things. I'd say Unitas, Elway, Young

No one can really answer this question because all these great QBs played during different times, during different types of offenses and such.

Joe Theismann

Who are the Cowboys? ;)

Dan Marino, he's got the rings and the records to prove it

Hail Mary
Doug Flutie

elway,unitas,young,griese,montana,stauba...

Joe Montana. He has a legacy that's built on winning the Super Bowl - not just being a good QB
