Here is my Top 10 list of Best QBs of all time. Leave you list in the comment section. Tell me who you think should crack the Top 10.
Some have asked about Drew Brees and John Elway and why they didn't make the cut. Let's start with Drew Brees, he does have a Super Bowl Ring and A Super bowl MVP. But last year was a horrible season and it just goes to show you Sean Payton is the special ingredient to the Saints success not Mr. Brees. As for John Elway, He has all the accolades from MVP awards to Super Bowl wins. John Elway was able to obtain his Super Bowls with one of the leagues top RB in Terrell Davis and a Legendary Defense. So I am not sold on his performance in big time games like the others that made the list.
