Why Dan Marino is the best QB ever?
85805
Dan is the best QB ever.  People seem to forget that he was the only QB to have success without any semblance of a running game.  We also need to remember that also the dolphins defense didn't start to improve until jimmy Johnson became head coach, which wasn't until Dan's career was pretty much over.  So from 83-00, 17 years, Dan  carried his team to a Superbowl in his rookie season, a few AFC Championship games, and broke the TD record w/o having running game or defense to back him up.  As far as individual performances go, he is the best ever.

Vinatieri. He's the most clutch kicker in NFL history. When you win 2 Super Bowls with one foot, how can you not be better than Akers?

People like to throw out completion rating and TD stats when talking about the Greatest QB ever. The dude is the master of game management.  All that matters is The ring and he has three of them and should be in the top 5.  Just ask Peyton Manning or Dan Marino if he would trade all those stats for a ring.

PEYTON MANNING IS BETTER.

Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, or Steve Young. They are probably the most highest rated quarterbacks in nfl history and in the hall of fame, except for Tom. He will be a first time ballot inductee! Oops.. I left out John Elway, sorry John!

Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. Simply because he knows how to win. Three Super Bowl Championships proves that. Even though Peyton Manning has more talent, he chokes in big games. Thus I give the edge to Brady.

Stats don't really matter. Favre threw for the 3rd most yards last year but the Packers were 4-12. Manning threw 49 tds and...um...o ya nothing done in the post season. Those are just a few examples that prove my point.\n\nSo you have to weight Championships alot for the Best QB of all time.  If Marino won just one Superbowl, he would be.  If he had won two or more, hands down Marino is the best Qb. But it never happened so he forever will be know as the best QB not to win a Superbowl.\nIt is funny to see how different QBs are looked at and see that if the won/lost the Superbowl how they would be looked at now.  One big one is Jim Kelly.  If he and the Bills had won those 4 SBs(Superbowls) he would be easy HOF and maybe considered One of the best QBs of all-time.  At least one would have helped him.  If the Bills would have at least won the last 2 of the 4, Troy Aikman would be a nobody.  Yes, he was "good" but many people could have been in that situation.  I'm not saying I could do it, maybe, no I couldn't.  But da Bears of 85 I sure could have won with. And yes if McMahon played in the Dolphin game they still would have lost.\nOk enough babblying from me.  \n\nSo the Best QBs has to come down to,\nBig Ben-1 (My name is Ben, so I liked him.  I never thought he'd win a superbowl so soon though)\nTom Brady-3 (unfortunatly)\nJohn Elway-2 (I hate him)\nBrett Farve-1(I hate him even though he plays on the Pack)\nTroy Aikman-3 (A cheerleader could do as good as him)\nSteve Young-1 (for some reason I thought he won more)\nJoe Montana-4 (Ok, thats why)\nJim Pluckett-2 (Didn't matter what city he played in he still won)\nTerry Bradshaw-4 (and still balding)\nRoger Staubach-2 (Aikman 3, Staubach 2, Good debate for best Cowboy QB.)\nBob Greise-2 (17-0, thats all that I can say)\nJohnny Unitas-1 (47 games in row with a TD pass, crazy)\nBart Starr-2 (9-1 in the postseason and 4 championships before the Superbowl came.)\nNo Namath, I guarrantee that he isn't the best and that I can't spell.\n\nIt's your pick but my top five are:\n5. John Elway\n4. Terry Bradshaw\n3. Tom Brady\n2.  Joe Montana\nAnd the Best QB ever is...\n1. Bart Starr\n\nJust imagine if he played today. What would he do?\n\nI hope I helped you out.

Dan Marino reincarnated would be great... maybe a little more mobility would be nice.

Nope, Dan Marino and let me say that I HATE the Dolphins and their sissy colors on their uniforms, but he was the greatest ever. Hate is an understatement when it comes to how I feel about the Dolphags.

Both of them will go into the Hall of Fame.  Brady due to 3 Super Bowl wins and Manning due to breaking almost every QB record besides a few still held by Marino.  Like another person mentioned.  It's going to depend on which one retires first.  Brady's arm has been hurting him all season, so he might be the first of the two to retire.  However, all it takes is one wrong hit or fall to put a QB out of commission.  Both quarterbacks are pretty durable, but I'd have to give Manning an edge as far as durability.  He has yet to miss a game or hardly even a play due to injuries.  More likely that not, they'll probably get initiated the same year, knowing how the rivalry is between them and how they are good friends.

Yes, He is one of the best. he has one of the biggest hearts of any football player is a huge locker room influence and is like a coach and a fan. He is humble, and always puts back into the community. He was the best to play for the Marshall Thundering Herd and has returned here regurally. I was at alot of those home games at marshall and to see what he pulled off was amazing, includeing come from behind wins. It is terrible to see his talent waisted on the Jets and then the fans turn on him like the ones above.

Brett Favre...only one of the best QBs ever and his personality, love for the game, and family history make him a fan favorite who can easily be related to.

Matt Hasselback, becuase you specifically said right now. Brett Favre is one of the greatest/toughest  QBs in NFL history, but Hasselback is younger and slightly better QB than Favre is now.  Favre throws way too many interceptions. Alot of Favre's passes are go for broke (big plays/touchdowns/let the receiver catch in triple coverage), he was great at doing when he was younger and he was better decision maker.  He didn't throw as nearly as many picks as he does now.  I\n\nHasselback is not a playmaker like Favre, but he manages the game better and does not throw as many costly interceptions as Favre.

Peyton Manning. Tom Brady, Joe Montana (except for that one in 1990 in the NFC title game), Terry Bradshaw (in his prime, when he came in he got leveled and when he got out, it was the same way), Troy Aikman (except for his last few years), Phillip Rivers, and list could go on. It is not about statistics over a career because a QB could be on his back alot one year, but standing tall the next. It really depends on the O-line and the offensive schemes. Even Dan Marino spent a couple of years where he was running around (remember all the padding he used to wear in the late 90's).

Ah, No.  I can think of 5 just off the top of my head who are better.\n1. Joe Montana\n2. Johnny Unitas\n3. Bart Starr\n4. Troy Aikman/Steve Young\n5. John Elway/Dan Marino
