    SPIN OFF!!!

    Who are your top 5 QB's to play in the NFL. Doesn't necessarily have to be "all time," and go back to the 20's, where any starting QB would be 3rd string on a HS roster.

    Any list that doesnt begin or at least contain Otto Graham is a fail list.

    I had him at 6. Seems the rest here think football started around 1984. ;)

    And Roger Staubach at #7. He is what made the Cowboys America's team.

    How would he do in the league today? Honest question.

    Oh, this argument. Let's just ignore history then. Might as well start with 2000.

    I'm actually trying to have a conversation here. Don't give me a cop-out bullshit answer. Do you think they would do the same in the league today, or even 1984?

    Sorry that we don't latch onto the good ole days when a bunch of nonathletic white people were playing defense. The league is so much bigger, stronger, faster than anything in history. There's no guarantee any of those players would even make an NFL team, much less achieve greatness.
  • WebFire
    Hmmm Ok. Then give a starting year. Top of all-time is misleading. I'm not latching on to anything. I just thought it was supposed to be best of all-time.

    BTW, what would Peyton Manning do in the 40s and 50s?

    I don't disagree. I think some would have done well though. The only one on my top 5 that I think is questionable is Baugh, but he pretty much invented the QB position. The others could play today.

    Cop-out? None of us know the answer to your question. Like I said, all but Baugh would be fine today.

    The cut off is you have to have played at some point in the 2000's.

    Peyton Manning would win 12 straight MVP and 12 straight Super Bowls in the 40s and 50s. He would amass 400,000 yards of total offense and have over 1,000 passing TDs.

    He would then come back as a WR, win 3 more Super Bowls and 3 more MVPs, along with catching for 20,000 yards and over 100 TDs,

    Lets add Cam Newton and RG3 then to the 40s and 50s discussion, pretty sure every they run the ball they'd score.

    Even Jamarcus Russell would light up the 40's and 50's.

    Wrong. Unless Manning was transporting Marvin Harrison & Reggie Wayne back with him he wouldn't be nearly as successful.

    Your right. The WR would probably be too stupid to understand a Peyton manning offense.
