I won’t rank them.
But here is a list of guys who I felt were special.
Joe Montana
Dan Marino
Michael Vick
Peyton Manning
Patrick Mahomes
Those guys were all seemingly on a different level in the NFL.
Someone like Drew Brees or Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers or others might have had as good or better careers than those guys. They may have better resumes than those guys. But there is nothing particularly special about their athleticism or play that stands out to me. So I don’t consider them as especially noteworthy.
That’s my view.
I’m leaving out quarterbacks before 1980 because that was probably a very different game. Though there is a great argument that I am wrong for leaving out Fran Tarkenton.
