[quote name="True Blue" post="866742" timestamp="1286324677"] [quote author=Fracc link=topic=73993.msg866713#msg866713 date=1286322548] If stats were all that mattered, Vince Ferragamo would be the best quarterback in NFL history. :o If technique was all that mattered, Todd Marinovich would be the best quarterback in NFL history. :D What defines the quarterback position is victory. He shares the accolades in victory and shoulders the blame in defeat. He finds a way to win no matter what. Tom Brady - fastest to 100 wins. Joe Montana - second fastest. John Elway - most 4th quarter comeback victories. 8) My point is there are only a few quarterbacks who's team is still undefeated and a few of them have been mentioned. Ultimately the QB that leads his team deepest in the playoffs is the best. Plain and simple. [/quote] You have a few good points but your saying that a QB on the Superbowl team is the best in the NFL, and that is not quite right. If so your sayng that Trent Dilferd? is better than Dan Morrino ??? or that Eli Manning is better than Fran Tarkington ??? or Doug williams is better that Warn Moon. That statment wont hold water ;D [/quote] Webster's defines [i][b]best[/b][/i] as "superlative of good" or "excelling above all others". The superbowl champion has proven they were the best. Don't kid yourself that Dan (1 SB) or Fran (3 SB) would trade most or all of their statistics for one ring. (You also left off Jim Kelly - 4 SB) Watch Dan's face when Shannon Sharpe shows his ring. Fran, Dan and Jim earned respect of being a good quarterback with HOF inductions as did Warren Moon. I did not choose to make an excuse for Warren...five consecutive CFL championships is considered "best" for the QB in that league and merited him a promotion to the NFL where he had a good career. Since the debate is "best" QB, success is the key factor. If we have several teams make deep playoff runs, then our area is truly blessed and those young leaders deserve to be debated as the "best" in our area this year. If somone wants to create a thread of who the "good" QBs are in the area then most of the posts in this thread apply. ;)
