Best Quarterback of All Time? - Page 4 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Gilowero** · 01-28-2010, 06:56 PM

With the offense Tommy Boy had, I don't think he could've missed a SB ring if he purposely tried to flop. That's why I left him off.

Interesting you say that. Brady had LESS to work with offensively than Manning or Montana. In fact, you could compare all the no name guys on Brady's offense to what Brees now tends to work with.

New England did have a tough defense back then though.

**9Goarveboofe** · 01-28-2010, 06:56 PM

Manning plays in a dome. He doesn't have to deal with the elements. Joe Montana played in San Francisco. Also, Joe Montana beat great defenses. I don't know if Manning has.

2006 bears in the SB?

**Aluback** · 01-28-2010, 06:57 PM

No, but that's only four games, compared to the 150+ that both have or will have played in their careers. What I'm saying is that Super Bowl success is GROSSLY overvalued in the 'quarterback greatness' evaluating scheme.

Yeah, only the biggest 4 games of anyone's career.

**Gymnfacymoota** · 01-28-2010, 06:58 PM

Trent Dilfer's name always has to come up when you judge quarterbacks on rings.

Just because Dilfer has a ring and Marino doesn't, does that make Dilfer the better quarterback?

I'm siding with Whiskey on this one.

I'm surprised Brady has been left off most of everyone's list though.

That's absolutely ridiculous. I never said that every QB with a SB was great, or that every QB without one wasn't.

What I said was, all things being equal, playoff and Superbowl success means a LOT to me over what some QB did in September and October against crappy teams.

**nAKMzyBN** · 01-28-2010, 06:58 PM

I kno it's not the same, but it's not like Peyton plays every game of his life in a dome. Yes he plays half the season there, but I'd be interested to see his career splits, dome v. outdoors.

Home: 98.1 QB rating
Road: 91.6 QB rating

Included in those numbers are 8 games @ Houston.

**Piediahef** · 01-28-2010, 06:59 PM

fixed.

and to be honest, no one except gb fans give a shit about gb.

fixed again.

His defense won that game. Not to take that away from him, but the way he won that game wasn't much different from the way his brother won his game.

Also Joe Montana outdueled Ken Anderson, Boomer Esiason, Dan Marino, and John Elway. Peyton Manning outdueled Rex Grossman. Winning this year would go a long was to his legacy.

Wow.

**DailyRingtone** · 01-28-2010, 07:03 PM

Greg Maddux is 2-3 in his world series appearences. Curt Schilling is 4-1. Would you say Curt Schilling, therefore, is better than Greg Maddux?

How did his defense with that game? The Colts offense had the ball for 2/3 of the game. Manning, Addai, and Rhodes are what won that game.

That's not such a big abberation .. I personally thought it would be a little more lop-sided.

It was 22-17 until Rex Grossman threw a Pick 6. Manning didn't dominate that team.

The running game accounted for 191 yards in that game, and they got a defensive TD as well.

Manning had 1 TD and 1 INT. His impact in that SB really was minimal compared to the rushing attack, and defense.

He didn't lose it, but he didn't do anything special either.

**BodoidearoLew** · 01-28-2010, 07:07 PM

Dan Marino is a perfect example of why I would agree with this.

**Peter Hill** · 01-28-2010, 07:07 PM

1 out of how many?

**daguy** · 01-28-2010, 07:08 PM

Greg Maddux is 2-3 in his world series appearences. Curt Schilling is 4-1. Would you say Curt Schilling, therefore, is better than Greg Maddux?

In the big game? Absolutely. I'd say the same about John Smoltz and Jack Morris too, but the career stats aren't close. Hell, even Andy Pettitte.

If you think I'm knocking Manning, I am not.

He is an awesome QB, but right now at this point in his career, I can't put him ahead of Montana. No way.

They didn't call him Joe Cool for nothing. He had ice water in his veins.

Besides that, there's a big difference in winning a series of best of 7's, and winning 3-4 games in a row too.

**Caluabdum** · 01-28-2010, 07:09 PM

Dan Marino is a perfect example of why I would agree with this.

But you can't discount the success either. Joe Montana playing 4 Super Bowls, throwing 11 TDs, 0 picks, and winning all 4 of them shouldn't be ignored.

**MP+4** · 01-28-2010, 07:10 PM

I'm not going to disagree that at this point, Montana may be rated higher than Manning.

My biggest beef is that the amount of weight put on Super Bowl Rings is disproportianate to the quarterbacks entire body of work.

No, but if your comparing Sandy Koufax to Greg Maddux, then you can use the post season records as a deciding factor.
