Yep, recentism is. Probably not too many votes these days for Otto Graham or Johnny Unitas, either.

Man, how soon we forget Peyton Manning.

Showing my age here, but don’t forget Johnny Unitas.

I suppose if you are talking QB’s the above names are all in play. But for me the football goat will always be Jim Brown.

Great quarterbacks is something open to what a person thinks. Many focus on the yards, completions, percentages, and interceptions; these are tangables that are easily understood and make a great athelete playing a position. A great quarterback has intangables that aren’t or are difficult to measure; leadership, team responsibility, presence, and others. It’s difficult to measure the intangables if you haven’t seen the quarterback play.

For sheer guts and durability, and an uncanny knack of pulling a team out of a dumpster fire, I have always liked George Blanda, who proved – before Brady – that there was life after 40 in the NFL.

Joe Thiesmann.

fusilier, who can’t post his opinion of the guy as a person, but…

James 2:24

and conversely, who gives a rip about social media of any kind

Don’t forget Ken Stabler and Joe Kapp.

So sad….sigh
