WHO IS THE GREATEST QB OF ALL TIME?

Argument for manning is that had he played in that era, he'd also have the upper hand and more of an ability to "change the game"

If Manning has a strong performance passing in the SB and they win, it becomes Manning.  Until then it's Joe.  Like MDogg I remember listening to games as a kid and you never got nervous when the team was down in the 4th quarter.  Joe made it happen.

whoisthis:
I hate the argument of "if this player was in this era" because it's purely speculative. Montana played in an era where a Defender didn't have to worry about hitting too high, too low, etc. That changes the game when a Defensive player becomes hesitant.

Basing purely off accomplishments:

Manning

Right he is only behind Favre in Passing Yards and TD's thrown. He's a 4 Time MVP (most ever in the NFL) and on his way to a 5th. Has a Ring and Superbowl MVP

If he can play 2 more seasons, he'll pass Favre in Yards. If he only plays 1 more season, he'll pass Favre in TD's. At this point, Manning has only played 15 seasons. Not sure if he has more in him, but he'll own even more records if he can keep going.

The only true knock on the man is that he doesn't have more rings. But Rings are a team thing. Big Ben has 2 rings. That doesn't make him a better QB than Manning, Marino or Favre. Nor does it equate him to Elway. Just means that he had the better team.

Manning was rarely blessed with a stellar Defense like Montana had. I'd say Montana always had the more complete team around him. Think about that 89 team. A top defense, which included one of the best defenders ever in Ronnie Lott. And a featured Montana throwing to the best Receiver of all time, Jerry Rice. That is one of the best teams in History.

I don't think any of Manning's team are considered all that great.

Yea the difference between basketball and football is that football is more team dependent. An individual is much less likely to carry an entire team to the promise land.

Ghost, u don't fux wit basketball?

I'm not that big of a basketball fan.  Baseball is my favorite.  Kobe is my favorite player though followed by Steph Curry:)
