Greatest NFL QB

What a dumb debate "Greatest QB" EVER is. So here is my top 10 (Super Bowl era):

1. Montana - Best big game player.
2. Marino - Best pure passer WITHOUT any system
3. Unitas - Never saw him play, but just looks cool
4. Brady - Is the knee injury a mental scar?
5. Manning - Consistently great in the regular season. Sketchy in the playoffs.
6. Elway - Most complete QB.
7. Roger Staubach - See Unitas
8. Brett Favre - Ugh. I was trying to exclude him.
9. Jim Kelly - VERY underrated.
10.Dan Fouts - Marino lite

Honorable mentions: Warren Moon, Troy Aikman, Steve Young
Several things:

When I consider GREATEST QB I throw out numbers and achievements. I hate using Super Bowls to rate a QB. If you did that, Terry Bradshaw would be here. Put ANY 70's QB (Griese,Staubach,Stabler,Tarkenton) on those Steeler teams and I guarantee you 4 super bowls victories...again. Another example, is John Elway. He was considered a loser, before Shanahan and Davis came to town. Then 2 Superbowl titles later he's considered the greatest ever.
I go by what I saw. When Joe Montana took a BAD Chiefs team to the AFC Championship game, THAT was a greater achievement then winning any Super Bowl. I recuse myself from Marino talk (I'm a dolphin fan) but can tell you that Don Shula totally screwed him when it comes to surrounding talent.
The Honorable Mentions are outside for several reasons:
Warren Moon - Was he really great? Great thrower. But seem emotionless.
Troy Aikman - Jimmy Johnson benched him so many times. Remember Craig Erickson? IMO, you can't be great part time. (He's DEFINITELY next one up. 11. But how hard is it to throw to Irvin, Smith and Novacek?)
Steve Young - Speaking of part time greatness, here is the poster child for templated offenses (WCO). Everyone forgets about him in Tampa Bay. Why? Well because it would severely hurt his ego. Also, he took over Joe Montana's team, and made it very mediocre until they hired Deion.

Super Bowl

I have been ripping Manning for costing the Colts this game, but he is TOO easy a target. Here are my factors for why the Colts lost the game:

1. Reggie Wayne no showed. Manning is getting ripped for the int, but watch Wayne's route. He almost stumbles/loses his balance. GREAT play by Porter, but if you are going to blame anyone, blame Wayne.
2. Dwight Freeney couldn't stay in the game. He was KILLING the Saints. Had he remained healthy, no way Brees has that game.
3. Destiny. Come on, did you REALLY think the Saints were going to lose?

3 reasons why the Dolphins are currently winning

3. There's nothing to lose. Guess the pressure was off at 1-6? Not only that, but the "super bears" were being fitted for the throne. So coming into that game they were able to focus and FIGHT. Against KC, they had the blueprint on how to finally win.

2. Joey Harrington is not turning the ball over, well not as much! Harrington should have been picked off 2 more times against the bears, if it weren't for a great play by chambers and blindness by the Chicago secondary. Joey Harrington has all but proven he is not the future of this team. Daunte Culpepper had the excuse of recovering from knee surgery, but when Joey started throwing ints, he pretty much locked his status as "draft bust". I guess Dan Fouts coming out of Oregon was a fluke.

1. They discovered that they have a good running back. Mike Mularkey is trying his best to make people remember he was the Buffalo Bills coach. I dont know at what point Nick Saban came up to him and told him to run the ball, but it must've come at gun point. Ronnie Brown's running has given an older defense a "breather" allowing them to blitz more.
