The Greatest Quarterbacks of All Time

The debate over the greatest quarterbacks of all time is contentious, and it is difficult to say who belongs in the top 10 definitively. However, a few quarterbacks consistently appear near the top of such rankings.

Tom Brady (2000- ) is perhaps the most successful quarterback of all time. He has won an unprecedented seven Super Bowls and has made it to the championship game an impressive ten times. Known for his cool demeanor and clutch performances in big games. He is the career passing yards and touchdowns leader.
Joe Montana (1979-1994) is often considered one of the greatest of all time. He won four Super Bowls and won three Super Bowl MVPs. Montana was renowned for his accuracy and ability to lead his team to victory. As a result, he earned the nickname “Joe Cool.”
Peyton Manning (1998-2015) has a strong case for the top 10. Manning won two Super Bowls, also winning the Super Bowl MVP twice. He holds many NFL records, including the most touchdowns and passing yards in a single season. Additionally, Manning has won the most career MVP awards in the NFL, with five.
Johnny Unitas (1956-1973) was a quarterback from an earlier era, but that cannot deny his impact on the game. Unitas won three NFL championships and the league MVP three times. “Johnny U” is one pioneer of the modern passing game. Especially the two-minute drill.
Dan Marino (1983-1999) is another quarterback who put up impressive numbers during his career. Marino was a nine-time Pro Bowler and the first QB to top 5,000 passing yards in a season. He led the Miami Dolphins to the Super Bowl in 1984, but unfortunately came up short.
