How would you rate the top 5 QB's in the last 30 years? I was too young to see Unitas or Namath play in their prime so I have to leave them off the list.

Okay, here it goes:

1) Dan Marino: If he had been on the 49ers, he would have won the same amount of Super Bowls as Joe Montana. Nobody I ever saw could throw the football like him. He was the best I've ever seen.

2) John Elway: Have you ever seen any QB come up so huge in the most pressurized situations? Until Terrell Davis, he never had any good receivers or RB's.

3) Joe Montana: A lot of people rate him as #1. Let's face it: The top few are splitting hairs. But Montana had much better weapons than Marino and Elway and played in a perfect offense suited to his talents.

4) Terry Bradshaw: At the beginning he had some rough years. He also played on a great team. But the bigger the game, the better he played. In those championship years he was phenominal. And he called his own plays to boot.

5) Brett Favre: Has had a rough couple of years because he tried to do too much. But in his prime, he was unreal. He had a quick release that whizzed through the air and landed right in the receivers' hands.

Who are your top 5?

Wow,

The top five is so tough.

I like them all for different reasons.

1. Dan Marino - Quickest release and best pure passer

2. Terry Bradshaw - Powerful arm and learned to become the perfect field general.

3. Joe Montana - Great mobility and precision passing.

4. John Elway - Had a strong arm with better legs early on in his career.

5. Brett Favre - He really reminds me of Terry Bradshaw. A gun for an arm. His last few seasons are tarnishing things a bit. He just doesn't have a good team around him.


If Miami would have given Marino a running game he would have been the all time best without a question.
